Mayor Lightfoot is framing this as an Affirmative Action kind of preference for media outlets and reporters that she believes have been neglected by previous Chicago administrations. Framing this (in so many words) as "Chicago Affirmative Action Day for Media of 'Color' . . ."
Mayor Lightfoot's plan for this day has many detractors, including People of Color and one person (in the article) named "Joie Chen" who is luke warm (if even that) in terms of being enthused about the mayor's idea.
The way that this thread was set up, so it reads (as the Topic) "Mayor Lori . . . Lightfoot says won't talk to White reporters."
As if the mayor had said that she will not talk to white reporters "period." Instead of--as the mayor actually said--on this particular day.

"This is exactly why I'm being intentional about not talking to white reporters prioritizing media requests from POC reporters . . ."
Delegating. Prioritizing. Oh--good one![This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 05-24-2021).]

Mayor Lori Lightfoot chooses only reporters of color for interviews ahead of 2-year-anniversary, sparking debate over media diversity and access
“I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically,” Lightfoot wrote.
She wrote that there are no women of color assigned to the City Hall beat, saying, “I find this unacceptable and I hope you do too.”
WBEZ disputed the mayor’s observation in a Wednesday story, noting that two of its three City Hall reporters are women, one Hispanic and the other South Asian.

She's proven a liar by one of the entities she accused. She is exposed as a sexist and racist. There is no excuse for racism, as we're taught by the controlled media.

"Framing this", yes that is that is the name of the game, and how they became trapped in their little frames, and want you in there with them, may even think they are trying to accomplish something "good". You don't hire based on race.
Almost everything he said is fundamentally wrong. Another indoctrinated fool, and yes, virtue signaling.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 05-24-2021).]

Good tune
"Re-engineer your head, is really what the door mouse said
Push the lies away
...
If you take time and look for clues ...scrape the sh** off
Your shoes, you'll feel the real today
...
Hey, one more thing, these things are hard to explain. For
Some, it seems strange to swallow
