NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City Commission on Human Rights has fined Fox News $1 million, the largest penalty in its history, for violations of laws protecting against sexual harassment and job retaliation.

As part of a settlement agreement announced Tuesday, Fox also agreed to mandate anti-harassment training for its New York-based staff and contributors and to temporarily drop a policy requiring people who allege misconduct to enter into binding arbitration.

The penalty stems from an investigation that began in 2017 following several reports of what the commission called “rampant abuse” at the popular news and opinion outlet.

Fox News is a big target for the Leftnicks. We hope they can sustain the attacks because it looks like they are going to use the legal system as their weapon.

Fox news has been rampantly abusing its viewers for a while now too.

“Don’t watch Faux News, but they should get the hell out of NYC.”

My thought exactly.

Last night, for the first time since the election, I listened to Hannity on Sirius 114. He commented several times that he is getting out of New York.

Florida is popular as it has a good governor and no state personal income taxes. Again, Trump is a leader as he already made the move.

To be fair, “Fox News Babes” is a common web search term and there are web pages dedicated to them.

Rush Limbaugh was way ahead of many.

Rush Limbaugh was way ahead of many.

Rush did the math.

The NY State top rate is 10.9% plus 3.9% city tax and a sales tax rate of up to 9%.

Over the life time of the Rush program since he moved to Florida, his total enterprise has earned Billions, {Rush 24/7, The Newsletter and all of his product sales} and the move saved multiple millions in saved taxes.

Hannity is in the twilight of his run and now he is going to save a coupla million.

He's been yakking about this move for years, it's my guess that FNC has been reluctant to let him move until the chi-com virus lock down changed the world of TV news shows.

When could we ever get to watch a TV "star" masturbate on live TV prior to the 'tube-in event'.

Fox is a liberal institution in NYC. This is par for the course.

The opposition doesn’t understand Fox is now just another propaganda network.

FOX gets the largest penalty in history.

Charges against CNN would get ignored.

leftists, projecting their sins and sleaziness onto FOX News, and don’t be surprised if they do this to other Right Wing news outlets or sites.

CBS and NBC had rapists and guys walking around naked in front of staff. Any fines for them?
