Fox News worker sues over bedbugs in office

[EV_Ares]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Fox News employee who says she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after being bitten by bedbugs at work filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the owner of the Manhattan office tower where she worked.

Jane Clark, 37, a 12-year veteran of Fox News, a unit of News Corp, said she complained to human resources after being bitten three times between October 2007 and April 2008. She said she was ridiculed and the office was not treated for months.

Beacon Capital Partners, which owns the tower in midtown Manhattan, said in a statement that it had not been made aware of the problem and that it was the responsibility of tenants to manage infestations.

3. FOX News "Infested and Balanced" links

For those of you playing catch-up:

November 2007: Mediabistro breaks the news about FOX News studios being infested by bedbugs;
Think Progress picked up the story, which subsequently hit the wire services.

March 2008: The NY Times reports FOX admits the bloodsucking nasties have infested at least one studio.

May 2008: FOX had claimed the infestation was "wiped out -- but the Times reports a FOX employee is suing. Coverage spreads quickly, including such arcand sites as
ABA Journal. Reuters reports the plaintiff was being chomped by the nasty vermin as late as April.
