One of China's largest and most prominent media companies—12 percent of which is owned by a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox—has been rocked by a major sexual harassment and assault scandal. A lawsuit filed on July 19 in federal court against Phoenix Satellite Television contains a series of jaw-dropping allegations concerning its onetime Washington, DC, bureau chief, Zhengzhu Liu.
The Chinese journalist is accused of a litany of offenses, including encouraging job applicants to meet him in hotel rooms for interviews and then groping them, attempting to coerce the wife of a cameraman to have sex with him to preserve her husband's job,telling a job candidate about the "gigantic and powerful penis" of his black friend, and attempting to rape a reporter.
this is why the right fights against VAWA, rape being not a big thing just another part of their war on women. and the Murdoch companies perks for it's executive staff.
The plaintiffs, two of whom are US citizens, claim at least one high-ranking Phoenix executive knew about this conduct for years before the company fired Liu last December. They also say that after Phoenix ousted Liu, the media conglomerate installed a new bureau chief who proceeded to retaliate against employees who had complained about the alleged abuses.Four of the five plaintiffs—Meixing Ren, Ching-Yi Chang, Taofeng Wang, and Haipei Shue—are men who say that Tao Lu, the current bureau chief, punished them for speaking out about his predecessor's alleged conduct by downsizing their job duties and firing one of them. The fifth plaintiff is a former Phoenix intern who alleges that Liu repeatedly groped her. Another former Phoenix intern filed a separate lawsuit in New York earlier this year making similar allegations. Mother Jonesinterviewed three of the male plaintiffs and four of Liu's alleged female victims.
does the majority of those that deal in the right wing world have this sickness that prompts them to abuse women, and think it's ok, threaten them with job loss while retaining theirs in spite of the criminal action. does their power complex over ride presumable intelligent morallity?
