Newspaper Publisher Gannett Sued for Discrimination Against White Employees
The largest newspaper publisher in the United States, Gannett Co Inc., was sued on Friday for discriminating against its White employees in the name of increasing diversity.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the class action lawsuit was filed in a Virginia federal court by five former and current employees of Gannett, all of whom say that they were either fired or ignored for promotions in order to increase the number of women and non-White employees at the company.
These hiring decisions were made due to a policy first implemented in 2020, which Gannett said was designed to make its newsrooms reflect the ethnic makeup of the communities each newsroom covers by the year 2025.

“Gannett executed their reverse race discrimination policy with a callous indifference towards civil rights laws or the welfare of the workers, and prospective workers, whose lives would be upended by it,” the plaintiffs’ lawsuit reads.
Gannett’s chief legal counsel, Polly Grunfeld Sack, defended the diversity policy and claimed that the company only wants to hire workers who are the most qualified.
“We will vigorously defend our practice of ensuring equal opportunities for all our valued employees against this meritless lawsuit,” said Sack in a statement.
Gannett’s policy is one of many corporate race-based and diversity policies that are now facing overwhelming legal scrutiny after the Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year to strike down affirmative action, the policy by which colleges and universities across the country could make admissions decisions based solely on an applicant’s race.

Mug Shot Mania Soars! - Trump Flips Script on Dems as Image They Prayed for Becomes Battle Cry: 'Never Surrender'
And it is still reverberating.
The Trump campaign isn’t just making lemonade out of the lemons they were dealt — they’re making lemon champagne cocktails.
A watermarked picture and assigned number, P01135809, have campaign fundraisers raking in the moolah for the former president’s campaign, proving again his Midas touch has not left him.
An NBC columnist wrote that former President Donald Trump’s allies saw the picture “not as a liability but as an asset, the kind of rallying cry that will help Trump lock up his party’s support and recapture the White House.”
Within approximately 90 minutes of his release from an Atlanta jail, the Trump campaign began to make merchandise of the mugshot available for sale. The collection included T-shirts, mugs, koozies, and bumper stickers, with prices ranging up to $34 for a shirt, according to Mediaite.
