America’s largest newspaper publisher is formerly on notice of a legal challenge over a so-called reverse racism policy.
In the lawsuit filed in Virginia federal court, there are currently five named plaintiffs, four men and one woman, whose careers were allegedly adversely affected by Gannett Co. Inc.’s corporate diversity protocols.

The employees were allegedly denied promotion opportunities and some were even fired because of Gannett’s goal of reaching “racial and gender parity” by 2025.
Executives are accused of tying manager bonuses and perks to hiring quotas based on the demographics of the local community.
The lawsuit also alleges that a high-ranking executive told managers that “no more straight White males should be hired going forward.”
Gannett’s legal counsel, Polly Grunfeld Sack, claimed Gannett “seeks to recruit and retain the most qualified individuals for all roles within the company.”
She then called the lawsuit “meritless.”
The plaintiffs are seeking a court order to stop Gannett’s affirmative action policy and a jury trial.
They are also asking for lost wages (past and future) as well as other damages.
As of publishing this article, the South Bend Tribune has not published a story about its parent company, the largest newspaper publisher in the country, being sued.
Last April, the Tribune announced a partnership with WNDU-TV.
WNDU hasn’t published a story about this situation either. Their last mention of Gannett was about Tribune workers going on strike against Gannett in June.

I’ve been in talk radio a long time. I remember when Ben and Steven first came on the scene. I told my audience to watch out for these guys and promoted their work on my shows. I respect them both.
It’s never a good position to be in when peopleyou respect get so mad at you.
I suppose I owe you all an explanation.
Why are Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder so mad at me right now? What’s all this fuss about?
Well …
This …
I have a better shirt than they have.
That is saying a lot for Steven Crowder because he makes some great shirts. Ben … well … Ben dresses like his wife dresses him and she cares about how he looks. His shirts are terrible.
In a better world, I wouldn’t have to have a disclaimer on a shirt but even with it, I’ve been targeted by Facebook for my #KPL shirt.
Not surprising. I’ve been the victim of online censorship for over 14 years. Long before most mainstream conservatives even believed it was happening.
Imagine being this butthurt that someone is advocating for the legal death penalty for child rapists. What a world we live in now.
Lucky for Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, and you … you can get this great shirt and help a veteran-run t-shirt shop in Indiana grow its business while letting your leftist neighbors know exactly where you stand on pedophiles.
The KPL shirt is the PERFECT accessory for your nextschool board meeting. Get yours today!
These shirts are usually made to order. As such, Priority Shipping isn’t recommended. If you select Priority Shipping, it will ship from the printer Priority but will not be made faster. My supplier tends to do them in batches.
