Ex-Fox News Employee Claims Firing After Racial Complaint
---------------------------------------------------------



And Fox News is also making headlines today with a lawsuit from a former
employee who says he was fired after complaining about racial abuse.
Harmeen Jones, an African American, says he endured a daily barrage of
"racist, sexist, and extremely offensive comments" against blacks,
Muslims, Jews, women and Hispanics while working at Fox News
headquarters in New York. Jones says he was let go after filing an
internal complaint.
