Judith Regan, the former book publisher, says in a lawsuit…protesting her dismissal by the News Corporation, the media conglomerate, that a senior executive there encouraged her to lie to federal investigators about her past affair with Bernard B. Kerik after he had been nominated to become homeland security secretary in late 2004.
Ms. Regan says in the suit, though, that when she realized the company had been assembling material with which to justify firing her she called a company lawyer. She says she wanted to confirm that accusations she had made about executives’ creating a hostile workplace had been included in her personnel file. One of those accusations was that an executive had advised her to lie about Mr. Kerik to protect Mr. Giuliani.
“This smear campaign was necessary to advance News Corp.’s political agenda, which has long centered on protecting Rudy Giuliani’s presidential ambitions,” the court papers say.
Don’t you just love it when soap opera politics go public?
Soap opera = real life.
Sad, but true.
It’s beginning to look like half the pols in NYC were in bed with each other. Literally – not just figuratively.

Except Rupert Murdoch contributed to Hillary’s campaign.
#3 – Thanks, Jonas – we know about it. One of the delights of “upgrades”.
Isn’t this the same chick that was going to publish OJ the murderer? Lot of morals and credibility there.
Also hasnt she been the one writing “tell all” books about republicans for years
And Rudi Giuliani was still messing with her, knowing she was a muck wallower? Talk about dumb.
Aw jeez. She was BANGING the little troll? Pathetic.
So she’s the one who had an affair with Kerik, and somehow she’s the victim?
Agreed: The whore is at fault.
Which one’s the whore, again?
So, all of the people who are promoting fascism in our country are all working together on a concerted propaganda front?
You don’t say.
Yes, at this very moment I am goose-stepping to Springtime For Hitler, Li.

Ya, so what of it? Murdoch is covering all the bases.
#6
Yes. A perfectly legal business deal.
#7,
No.

Kerik was married, Regan wasn’t. Kerik was the Police Commissioner. He was screwing her in the apartment rented so 9/11 workers could rest. NewsCorp then asked her to lie about it.
#13,
Glad you like the tune.

Yes, and she went along with all of that willingly, if not gleefully.
So how is she the victim?
#15, Frank,
Apparently you seem very intent on ruining a good brand of root beer. Next time try reading the article before posting such moranic questions.
She is the victim because they fired her !!!
MikeN, Except Rupert Murdoch contributed to Hillary’s campaign.
That’s some real smoking gun you got there! I Googled it.
It was a pittance of $20,000. That’s the equivalent of you or I throwing a buck in the Salvation Army bucket. (or maybe less! Seriously, it’s probably less to Murdock)
It means nothing and may have been done so guys like you could use it as a talking point.
