African-American Employees Sue Fox News, Charging Racism
--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a third Fox News employee has joined a lawsuit charging the
network with racial discrimination. The suit claims top
executives-including former CEO Roger Ailes-refused to intervene as
African-American women employees were forced to endure "years-long
relentless racial animus" at the hands of a white manager, Judith
Slater. Fox News fired Slater in March, just before the lawsuit was
filed.
