Lawsuit alleges that New York Post DC bureau chief�s goal was �to
destroy� Obama
The Huffington Post�s Sam Stein reports today that a fired New York
Post employee, Sandra Guzman, has filed a complaint against the Post,
the paper�s parent company News Corp., and Post editor-in-chief Col
Allan �alleging harassment as well as �unlawful employment practices
and retaliation.��
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/10/shocking-allegations-levi_n_352314.html
Stein reports that Guzman �paints the Post newsroom as a
male-dominated frat house and Allan in particular as sexist, offensive
and domineering. Guzman alleges that she and others were routinely
subjected to misogynistic behavior.�
But in addition to horrible workplace conditions, the Post�s news
division is operating with a clear partisan bias, according to Guzman.
She said the Post�s Washington D.C. bureau chief vowed to bring down
President Obama:

She says that hiring practices at the paper � as well as her firing �
were driven by racial prejudices rather than merit.
And she recounts the paper�s D.C. bureau chief stating that the
publication�s goal was to �destroy [President] Barack Obama.�
Guzman�s revelation isn�t all that surprising considering that a
Senior Vice President at Fox News, also a News Corp. subsidiary,
admitted earlier this year that the network is consciously aiming to
be �the voice of opposition� to the Obama administration �on some
issues.� http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/23/fox-vp-opposition/

A New York Times copy editor grabbed himself during an office training
session, but it was his colleague who got suspended for sexual
harassment, according to a lawsuit.
Charles Cretella, a part-time copy editor who's been with the Gray
Lady since 1968, was suspended for two weeks without pay for
inappropriate behavior toward a new hire, a 33-year-old man, according
to papers filed last week in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
But in the suit, Cretella, 57, claims he was the victim, enduring the
new man's come-ons and mood swings, then suffering a false accusation
of harassment in 2006 that cost him a promotion to a full-time
position.
"I'm a team player," said Cretella. "Thirty-eight years, never any
complaints."
Cretella claims he and the worker got off to a good start, but within
a few months, he says he was enduring bizarre behavior at the hands of
his co-worker. "Pardon the expression, we all get an itch, but it was
going on for a 20-minute period. It didn't seem like he was
concentrating on what I was trying to explain to him."
