"New Charges Filed Against Fox, O'Reilly"

[GreenPartyVoter]

NEW YORK (AP) - A Fox News Channel producer who filed a sex harassment lawsuit against talk show host Bill O'Reilly filed new accusations Tuesday, alleging she has lost her job because she complained to Fox about her alleged mistreatment.

A lawyer for O'Reilly and Fox denied that Andrea Mackris has been fired or retaliated against in any way.

Mackris, 33, said that by Sept. 29 she had told top executives of News Corp. (NWS), parent company of the Fox News Channel, about the alleged harassment and hostile work environment to which she was subjected while working for O'Reilly's show, "The O'Reilly Factor."

Mackris, an associate producer on the show, says in court papers the executives told her a few days later to call in sick while they investigated her complaint. Since Oct. 5, when Mackris met with Fox lawyers, Fox officials have not discussed her job status with her, court papers say.

1. I couldn't believe they fired her after this. How bizarre!

2. FOX is in panic mode...but firing her was STUPID.

3. First Limbaugh, then O'Reilly ...

Sean Hannity is next. I kid you not!

4. I'm thinking there is a war on here

and O'Reilly made someone's hit list. The spectacular timing of O'Reilly's public embarrassment seems to me almost too perfect to be coincidence.
