No one's contract at Fox is for the same exact amount and benefits. No ones. Contract negotiations happen before you agree to work, not afterward!
Idiots! Just like a Progressive. Change the rules after you start playing the game.
Yeah, damn those uppity women that expect to earn near the same as men and use anti-discrimination laws when they aren't satisfied being second class citizens.

Do you trust them to only allow media that you like?
For some..yes, this IS what they want.
Sadly I think they are not thinking far enough in the future.
What if it was not their party doing this ? Would they feel the same way ?

For goodness sakes, just read the article. She's not complaining about money. You simply don't know what you're talking about.

This was a news article authored by the Associated Press. Not Huffington Post. Huffington Post carried the story. See how that works?

I Googled the story. There were 9,830 returns. Name a newspaper, news station that you would put stock in. They will be carrying the exact same story.

After the Westmoreland case they don't have a chance in hell.That case gave gave media almost perfect protection from even printing a lie and known lie at that.They employ attorney's just for this and will make copy of it.

Did we read the same article? The first paragraph specifies pay.

This administration is proving that you'd better not rock their boat if you don't want to be thrown to the sharks. Pretty scary.

This isn't a government job.

You have a choice to accept the contract they present, or you don't.
What part of that don't you get?

You must have skipped the first part of the articles.
I won't say you don't know what your talking about though, that is too obvious.

if there is merit to the case, the so be it, the case should go forward. if on the other hand this is a sour grapes kind of thing, and the plaintiff is suing for sensation reasons, then teh case should go away.

You don't even have to watch the show, and your smarter then some! you got it hit the nail on the head. Truth hurts, and some don't like the truth.
