Fox 4 Getting Sued Posted on June 13, 2022 at 02:27:12 PM by Horrible Anchor Megan Murphy
kcur893 A former WDAF @fox4kc reporter and news
anchor is suing the corporate parent of the station,
alleging Fox 4 refused to consider her for a lead anchor
position because she was "the wrong minority."
Megan Murphy, who went by Megan Dillard on the air,
says the news director at Fox 4, Sean McNamara,
refused to offer her the job or even consider her
because
"she was not Black/African American, which
Defendant considered to be the 'right' minority,'
according to the lawsuit.
Murphy claims McNamara's comment was a reference
to her Asian American background. She says she was
the only Asian on-air employee at Fox 4
Murphy filed her lawsuit in April in Jackson County
Circuit Court, but the station's parent, Nexstar
Broadcasting, Inc., moved it to federal court last week.
Through its attorney, Nexstar said it does not comment
on pending litigation. But the company denied
Murphy's allegations in the answer it filed in Jackson
County Circuit Court. Replies: There have been no replies.
