Fox News set up black on white arm-wrestling matches, staff allege

US President Donald Trump’s favourite channel, Fox News, is not having a good seven days.

Just last week, their top-rating cable network news host, Bill O’Reilly, who has anchored his own show for almost two decades, was let go with allegations of sexual harassment surrounding his dismissal.

And this week, a slew of current and ex-employees have raised a lawsuit against Fox alleging that their bosses forced black employees to arm-wrestle white colleagues for entertainment.

New York Magazine cite a letter sent to the network, on behalf of former staff, which outlines allegations of black female arm-wrestling matches being set up within the accounting department.
