She also repeated Schnatter’s framing in the New York Post op-ed that his use of the infamous slur was somehow not that bad because New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had also used the word in an interview.After the former CEO said the conversation in which he used the slur and was forced out of his company as a result was a “positive call” in which he “adamantly expressed” his “disdain for racism,” Bream followed up by framing a defense for his remarks, asking Schnatter if he was “trying to display to people what not to do.” She also set him up to push for a new job at his old company and asked if he feels “there's room in society for people when they do make a mistake.”Fox News opinion hosts are pros at helping disgraced conservative figures redeem themselves, as <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity/foxs-one-man-clean-crew-history-hannitization?redirect_source=/research/2011/01/18/foxs-one-man-clean-up-crew-a-history-of-hanniti/175231" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">Sean Hannity</a> has done for <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/10/563240298/i-have-never-engaged-in-sexual-misconduct-moore-says-in-statement" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">Roy Moore</a>, <a href="https://digg.com/video/hannity-roseanne-interview" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">Roseanne Barr</a>, and <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity/donald-trump-jr-ready-his-close-lickspittle-sean-hannity?redirect_source=/blog/2017/07/11/donald-trump-jr-ready-his-close-lickspittle-sean-hannity/217216" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">Donald Trump Jr.,</a> or as Tucker Carlson recently did for <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/10/megyn-kelly-fox-news-tucker-carlson0internview-1202760066/" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">Megyn Kelly</a>.

Thomas Monaghan, the founder of Domino’s Pizza, is a staunch conservative Catholic who’s poured money into Catholic initiatives including the <a target="blank" href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/feature/pie_in_the_sky.php?page=all" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; display: inline;">controversial Ave Maria University</a>, which is paired with a <a target="blank" href="http://www.avemaria.com/Default.aspx" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; display: inline;">planned town known as Ave Maria</a>. But Monaghan also has put a great deal of his money into politics, donating $371,000 to Republican candidates since 1979. He’s donated $4,000 to Democrats—both recipients also have been Catholic.The list goes on—Dan and Frank Carney, the founders of Pizza Hut, have given a combined $81,000 to Republicans over the last three decades. The trend is cross-generational, too. John Schnatter, founder of Papa John’s and young enough to be the Carneys’ son, has given $33,000 to Republican candidates, mostly in his home state of Kentucky. Even in the laid-back, arch-liberal Golden State, California Pizza Kitchen founders Richard Rosenfield and Larry Flax have each given $6,500 to Republicans—with only $500 apiece to a single Democrat, former governor Gray Davis. Little Caesar’s founder Michael Ilitch is more bipartisan: he has given nearly $118,000 to Republicans, with $67,000 going to Democrats. But many of the Democratic recipients have been either in Ilitch’s home state of Michigan or officeholders well positioned to help the gambling industry, in which he also has business interests, while many of his Republican donations have been to presidential contenders or PACs outside of Michigan.<div>

</div><div>New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman keeps cracking down on wage theft, and around 250 workers will be sharing in a nearly $500,000 settlement from four current and former Papa John's franchisees.
"Once again, we’ve found Papa John’s franchises in New York that are ripping off their workers and violating critical state and federal laws,” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement. "Once again, I call on Papa John’s and other fast food companies to step up and stop the widespread lawlessness plaguing your businesses and harming the workers who make and deliver your food."Though it often isn't treated this way, it actually is illegal to fail to pay minimum wage or overtime, to make people work off the clock, to force workers being paid at the tipped worker subminimum wage to do non-tipped work, and a disturbing list of other ways businesses have found to keep money that workers have earned. And about that "once again":
In July, the attorney general's office arrested Abdul Jamil Khokhar, owner of nine Papa John's stores in New York, accusing him of breaking minimum wage and overtime laws. According to his plea agreement, Khokhar could serve up to 60 days in jail. In another case, the attorney general's office secured a judgment of nearly $3 million against two other Papa John's franchisees.So while the workers were technically employed by—and cheated by—the franchisees, at a certain point you see a pattern and start to think maybe the parent company has something to do with it. That's one of the reasons the National Labor Relations Board pushed to treat some fast food chains as joint employers responsible for working conditions in franchise restaurants.
In 2013, a report from Fast Food Forward found 84 percent of New York City fast food workers reporting that they'd been victims of wage theft. Fully 100 percent of fast food delivery workers said the same. Schneiderman's efforts to crack down have also led to settlements at franchises of other chains, including Domino's and McDonald's.
