Fox News vice president charged with sexual harrassment

Joe Chillemi, a Fox News Network vice president, has been charged with the sexual harrassment of a number of women in the Fox workplace. Using obscenities and vulgarities to refer to women and their body parts, complaining about pregnant employees, and referring to the women in the promotions department as his "promo girls," Chillemi is said to have created a hostile work environment. The plaintiff in the lawsuit, Kim Weiler, says that when she complained about gender discrimination, she and other women were constructively discharged.

The so-called American "awakening" to the problem of sexual harrassment in the workplace that was brought about by the testimony of Professor Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings wasn't much of an awakening. Both harrassment and assault routinely take place, and even if you are a multiple perpetrator, you can still be elected governor of California, which goes to show you how little Americans care about the issue.
