Fox News Besieged by New Bias Lawsuit and Federal Inquiry - By EMILY STEEL and NIRAJ CHOKSHIMAY 4, 2017 New troubles for Fox News arose on Thursday as a lawsuit accused it of gender discrimination and one of the women who have accused Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment said she would appear before the British regulatory group that is assessing 21st Century Fox’s attempted takeover of Sky, the satellite TV giant. Already facing several lawsuits, Fox News was hit with another one on Thursday, a Fox News Radio reporter filed a state lawsuit asserting that she was subjected to gender discrimination over several years by two supervisors and that, less than 24 hours after reporting the problem, she was told the company was eliminating her position. Wigdor has represented women in sexual harassment complaints against Fox News and is representing several current and former Fox News employees in a racial discrimination suit against the network. Ms. Walsh has said that she is not seeking a settlement, enabling her to publicly discuss her accusations against Mr. O’Reilly and her views about sexual harassment issues at Fox News.
