Suit blasts fungi biz at Fox News
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

There's something noxious at Fox News that's making people sick - and it's not Bill O'Reilly.
Two Fox News employees are suing the cable news channel for allegedly ignoring a toxic stew of mold and pesticides in its Manhattan headquarters.

But Fox News said the charges are bogus, claiming its studios at 1211 Sixth Ave. have a clean bill of health from federal and state regulators.

Veteran employees Laurette DeRosairo and Madronicia Clarke said they became seriously ill after being exposed to mold and pesticides in the basement studios and control rooms starting in 2004. They also claim their bosses used unlicensed workers to spray an insecticide that had been banned for use indoors.

The fumes got so bad last April that it sickened three anchors on the morning newscast "Fox and Friends," and sent a cameraman to the hospital after he fell unconscious, according to court papers filed Thursday in state Supreme Court.

From Yoggoth, aka the "Mi-Go", one of the hideous creatures written about by that great chronicler of monsters and Republicans, H.P. Lovecraft.

The Fungi of Yuggoth

XXV "St. Toad's"

"Beware St. Toad's cracked chimes!" I heard him scream as I plunged into those mad lanes that wind in labyrinths obscure and undefined South of the river where old centuries dream. He was a furtive figure, bent and ragged, and in a flash had staggered out of sight. So still I burrowed onward in the night toward where more roof-lines rose, malign and jagged. No guide-book told of what was lurking here - but now I heard another old man shriek: "Beware St.Toad's cracked chimes!" And growing weak, I paused, when a third grey beard croaked in fear: "Beware St. Toad's cracked chimes!" Aghast, I fled - 'til suddenly that black spire loomed ahead.

2. People are getting sick from the overwhelming stress caused

by being forced to lie to so many people. I kid you not, constant stress can make you very sick, even if you're not aware of it. It has serious implications for most body systems, but most notibly the GI tract and cardiovascular system.

If people are getting sick there, they need to leave, find honest work. Even if they have to leave the glitz and glam of NYC and go back to Podunk and retail, they'll be a lot healthier for it.

3. Ok, I know I should have sympathy but...

:rofl: Heaven knows what it could be, they have a variety of growth media (pun intended) like sewage they spew, organic material such as brain cells from all those lobotomized anchors, and of course humidity from the abundance of hot air in the studio. Hell I am surprised it didn't happen sooner.
