Tancredo's Politics of Fear

A REPUTATION TO PROTECT

Ex-Publisher Sues Murdoch

Former publisher Judith Regan filed a $100 million lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. yesterday, saying Murdoch's political agenda to aid Republican presidential candidate and former New York City mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani sparked a campaign to destroy her reputation.

Regan says that a senior executive at News Corp., her former employer, asked her to lie to federal investigators about Bernard Kerik, who was Giuliani's police commissioner and had been her lover. The executive, court papers say, believed she had information about Kerik that could hurt Giuliani's campaign.

Kerik was indicted last week on charges including corruption and fraud.

Regan worked for HarperCollins Publishers LLC, a News Corp. subsidiary, until she was fired in December with more than two years left on her contract. News Corp. cited anti-Semitic remarks Regan allegedly made to a HarperCollins lawyer, according to her court papers. Regan disputes the allegation, saying it was "manufactured to create a pretext for Regan's termination and further undermine her credibility."
