On the heels of reports that Rupert Murdoch’s sensationalistic tabloid, the New York Post, is severely wobbling financially<\/a> and bleeding circulation, comes this report<\/a> from the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein about a fired NY Post employee’s lawsuit against the paper.<\/p>\n

Sandra Guzman was terminated by the Post after she had leveled criticism of an overtly racist cartoon<\/a> that portrayed President Obama as a chimpanzee. Guzman’s allegations cover a broad sweep of misconduct by the paper and its editor, Col Allan. Stein writes…<\/p>\n

“As part of the 38-page complaint, 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. She says that hiring practices at the paper — as well as her firing — were driven by racial prejudices rather than merit.<\/span><\/p>\n

And she recounts the paper’s D.C. bureau chief stating that the publication’s goal was to ‘destroy [President] Barack Obama.’<\/strong>” <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The lawsuit alleges that the environment at the Post was a hotbed of salacious innuendo, undisguised racism, and open political partisanship. Read Stein’s article for the juicy details. He has also posted a copy of the full complaint.<\/p>\n

This is just another embarrassing episode for the Murdoch family of pseudo-news operations, and should further lock in Murdoch’s legacy as a disreputable purveyor of filth and lies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
