【新唐人2013年07月26日讯】总部设于香港的《凤凰卫视》，日前多名员工向美国联邦法院提起集体诉讼，控告《凤凰卫视》美洲台，包庇前总编刘正铸进行性骚扰、及性暴力攻击，并违反劳工法、对员工恶意报复等。由于《凤凰卫视》与中共高层具有特殊关系，这起在美国进行的诉讼案格外引人关注。
19号，美国首都华盛顿的一名律师琳内.贝纳贝(LYNNE BERNABEI)代表《凤凰台》的5名在职与前员工，向美国华盛顿联邦法院提起集体诉讼。在长达58页的民事诉状中，《凤凰卫视》被列为被告。
贝纳贝对外表示，《凤凰卫视》明知美洲台总编辑刘正铸性攻击女职员，仍包庇雇佣刘正铸10多年，导致多名女员工遭遇性侵犯，并出现严重焦虑与忧郁症状。
去年（2012年）8月，刘正铸对一名华盛顿站女记者进行性攻击，被这名记者录像。事件爆发后，《凤凰卫视》有超过10名前任或在职员工纷纷出面作证。无奈之下，《凤凰卫视》总裁刘长乐亲自出面解决事件，但还让刘正铸继续担任总编辑，回头对员工进行报复。直到11名现任与前任职员扬言要对《凤凰卫视》提起诉讼，《凤凰卫视》才在去年12月解除刘正铸的美洲台总编辑职务。
据与刘正铸相识的资深媒体人向《新唐人》介绍，刘正铸曾任中共喉舌《中央电视台》驻联合国首席记者，而且和《凤凰卫视》高层关系密切，具有一定的背景。
前《凤凰卫视》新闻总编庞中：“对于北美台高层来讲，一般会采取回避的态度，因为怕引火烧身，牵涉到他有关方面的利益。”
《凤凰卫视》从创办一开始就带有很强的中共背景，总裁刘长乐早年曾在中共喉舌《中央人民广播电台》任军事记者和高级管理人员，并拥有军衔。《凤凰卫视》其他高层人士也几乎都曾是中共官员。
在报导立场上，《凤凰卫视》也尽量从有利于中共当局的角度出发，很多时事类节目的观点与中共喉舌《央视》并无二致。因此，《凤凰卫视》又被俗称为第二央视。
庞中：“对于海外的一些媒体也好、官员也好，中共一般情况下都会进行袒护包庇。”
刘正铸多年来除在办公室对女职员进行性骚扰外，还会以工作为藉口，引诱女职员到他租的饭店房间，试图与她们发生性关系。女员工如果拒绝，就会遭到报复。这不仅涉及华盛顿记者站，也有纽约记者站的资深员工指证，过去5年，纽约站至少有4名实习生遭到刘正铸性骚扰。
员工指控，《凤凰卫视》一直在包庇刘正铸的性侵行为。在《凤凰卫视》迫于起诉压力将刘正铸解职后，新任主管仍然继续对那些要求处罚刘正铸的员工进行报复。
庞中：“按照中共一贯的方式来说，它肯定会利用它的权力来进行打击报复，甚至于让他主动离职。这是中共体制下一贯的思维、逻辑跟办事方式，都是这样来进行处理的。”
除上述集体诉讼案外，1名前《凤凰卫视》实习生也已经在美国纽约南区联邦法院，提出性骚扰诉讼。另外两名《凤凰卫视》纽约站女性职员与一名女性求职者，因遭到刘正铸性骚扰与报复，也向美国“联邦政府平权工作委员会”（EEOC）控诉《凤凰卫视》。
实际上《凤凰卫视》已经多次爆出性丑闻。曾主持《凤凰卫视》、《锵锵三人行》的台湾美女主播郑沛芳，就曾曝光《凤凰卫视》的陪睡潜规则，从而引发轰动。而《凤凰卫视》美洲及欧洲台的中国区事务总监马湘淑，她与美洲台台长吴晓镛等《凤凰卫视》高层的淫乱性关系，更凸显《凤凰卫视》内部淫秽不堪。

Sex Scandals in Phoenix TV (US)
Phoenix Television is headquartered in Hong Kong.
Employees in it's North America station filed
a lawsuit with the US Federal courthouse.
They are seeking the prosecution
of former Chief Editor Liu Zhengzhu.
Liu is alleged to have been involved
in sexual harassment and retaliation.
Phoenix TV has close links with top-levels
of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The lawsuit has therefore gathered public attention.
On July 19, Washington based lawyer Lynne Bernabei
filed a lawsuit with the federal courthouse,
on behalf of five Phoenix TV staff, including ex-employees.
Phoenix TV was listed as the
defendant in the 58-page document.
Bernabei said that Phoenix TV is aware of Chief
Editor Liu Zhengzhu's sexual abuse of female staff.
However, it still shielded Liu for 10 years.
Subsequent to their experiences, several female staff
suffered severe anxiety and depression symptoms.
In August 2012, Liu Zhengzhu harassment of
a female reporter had been recorded on video.
After the incident, more than 10 staff and
ex-staff stepped forward as witnesses.
Under this pressure, Phoenix TV president
Liu Changle personally dealt with the issue.
However Liu Zhengzhu still served as Chief Editor,
and took the opportunity to retaliate against staff.
Following this, eleven current staff and former staff
openly said they would take Phoenix TV to court.
In December 2012, Phoenix TV had to
remove Liu Zhengzhu from his position.
A senior media expert who knew
Liu Zhengzhu spoke to NTD Television.
Liu served as China Central TV's
(CCTV) Chief reporter in the UN.
Liu has very close ties with CCP top
levels, and has deep background.
Pang Zhong, former Phoenix TV Chief News Editor:
“For senior managers in the North America
station, generally they avoided dealing with it.
This was in case it caused trouble for themselves,
as it is related to their personal interests.”
Phoenix TV was established with the CCP in the background.
It's President Liu Changle severed as a military journalist,
as well as senior manager in his early years in CCTV.
Liu Changle has a military rank, and the majority
of senior managers in CCTV are CCP members.
Phoenix TV's reporting angle is
to stand on the side of the CCP.
Many of Phoenix TV current affairs
programs are the same as CCTV.
Thus phoenix TV was privately called a second CCTV.
Pang Zhong: “The CCP traditionally
shields its overseas officials or media.”
For many years, as part of sexually harassing female
staff in the office, Liu Zhengzhu also used work
as an excuse to take female staff to his hotel rooms.
Liu intended to have sex with them. If the staff
refused Liu, there would be consequences for them.
This not only happened in the Washington D.C. station,
but also allegedly with staff from the New York station.
Over the past five years, at least four trainees in
the New York station were sexual assaulted by Liu.
The staff accused Phoenix TV of
shielding Liu Zhengzhu's crimes.
Facing the pressure of being prosecuted,
Phoenix TV dismissed Liu Zhengzhu.
However, the newly appointed head is still
continuing to retaliate against those staff who
brought the allegations against Liu Zhengzhu.
Pang Zhong: “Traditionally, the CCP certainly uses
its power to retaliate, and to force someone to leave.
This is party thinking and logic to solve a problem.
It is common practice within the CCP system.”
In addition to this current lawsuit, one former
staff has brought a case against Phoenix TV
at the Southern District Court of New York.
She was sexually attacked.
Two female staff in the New York station, and
one job placement, were also sexually assaulted
by Liu Zhengzhu, and then they faced retaliation.
They raised their case with Phoenix TV to the
US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Actually, several sex scandals have
been exposed within Phoenix TV.
Zheng Peifang, former Taiwanee female presenter,
revealed Phoenix TV's dived rule of sexual relations.
It triggered heated discussions amongst the Chinese public.
In addition, sex scandals involving Ma Xiangshu,
Phoenix TV's regional manager of North America
and Europea, with Wu Xiaoyong, Head of Phoenix
TV (U.S) highlights a challenging mess.
