Ruling in favor of The New York Post and its defense lawyers at Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman, Southern District Judge Lorna Schofield on Monday dismissed a racial discrimination lawsuit two black former Post reporters brought against the tabloid. The decision comes one month after Schofield refused to toss a similar racial discrimination suit brought by a onetime Post editor.
Schofield acknowledged in Fenner v. News Corp., 09 Civ. 09832, that the staffers “endured a raucous work environment” in which supervisors “yelled and cursed at reporters.” But she ultimately concluded that the plaintiffs’ hostile work environment claim couldn’t survive summary judgment.
