As coverage of the lawsuit continues, NYT book specialist Motoko Rich moves past the Giuliani-supporting conspiracy of Russ Buettner‘s account, focusing instead on the bitter rivalry between Regan and Friedman, and Regan’s allegations that Friedman, as stated in the complaint, “was responsible for the instigation and encouragement of a hostile work environment.”
In other New York coverage, Page Six makes sure to remind its readers that Regan is a “onetime National Enquirer reporter,” and “litigious,” which might make you think about Regan’s claims that News Corp. used the Post to smear her. On the other hand, the suit forces the column to acknowledge for the first time in recent memory that News Corp. owns both the Post and HarperCollins, so there’s that to be thankful for. And there’s nothing memorable in the Daily News account, but there’s the link for the sake of thoroughness.
