The Daily Caller Is Suing the Chicago Mayor Over Her Policy of Limiting Interviews to Journalists of Color
The Daily Caller News Foundation and one of its reporters is suing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) over her policy of granting one-on-one media interviews only to people of color.
The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois accuses Lightfoot of ignoring an interview request from Thomas Catenacci, a reporter for the conservative publication, because he is not a “journalist of color.”
The suit, filed by conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch, claims Lightfoot violated Catenacci’s First Amendment and equal protection rights.
