Fox News is a Hostile Work Environment, Part Gazillion. But now it has an effect on the Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits. Is Fox News "bleeding out of their wherever?"
March 21, 2023

Oh, so I guess ALL the chickens are coming home to roost at Fox News. That's nice!

The New York Times reported Monday (and it would be trite to say "bombshell" at this point because it's a movie, duh, see above) that a Fox News producer, Abby Grossberg, who worked for both Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson, has filed two lawsuits against Fox News, saying their lawyers forced her to give misleading testimony in the $1.6 B Dominion lawsuit against Fox. She's also ALLEGING a hostile work environment for women at the network.

She also says Fox News lawyers asked her to lie in the Dominion case, and that the network brass was setting her up, along with Bartiromo, to take a fall for the rest of the network. “The (Fox News) lawyers, she said, gave her the impression that she had to avoid mentioning prominent male executives and on-air talent to protect them from any blame, while putting her own reputation at risk.”

There are gross details about Fox people, AT WORK, holding debates on which female political candidates are more f**kable. Somebody calling Maria Bartiromo "a crazy bitch" and "menopausal" and perhaps most gag-worthy, "having an affair with Kevin McCarthy." Frequent use of the C-word. AT WORK. Because Fox News.

Of course, none of this is surprising. Go look for "Fox News upskirts" on YouTube; there's a definite reason why my house calls "Outnumbered" "The Crotch Couch."

That Fox News as a workplace is a misogynistic, racist hellhole is a well-established fact.

That it might have an impact on making them go bankrupt is news. Long-awaited, much deserved news.
