Almost sounds racist, huh?

100% racist, so much so that I don't actually believe it to be true.

If it is, **** Lightfoot, I guess.

typical leftist response when one points out yet another example of the bad things leftists do

Lori Lightfoot is a liberal. Is this a regular thing that happens with Democratic mayors? Please enlighten me.

The ludicrous lunkheads battle it out for fool on the hill.
it is a one time thing that will cover one or two days to grant a few one on one interviews about the 2 year anniversary of her mayorship.
kind of like a quickie affirmative action.

this is what happens when extremist ideologies get hold of the news and can’t fit reality into their agendas.

VP Harris keeps a list of 'enemy' reporters

  • The vice president was profiled in The Atlantic for a story on Monday
  • Harris was reported to keep a list of reporters who 'don't fully understand her'
  • Washington Post journalist Chelsea Janes is believed to be on her list
  • She covered a Harris event and said sorority 'skee wee' salute was 'screeching'
  • Harris is known for being cagey and aloof around reporters
  • She has got a new cell phone and old friends reportedly find it hard to reach her

A journalist with The Atlantic claimed that she kept records of reporters who displeased her.


Chelsea Janes, who wrote about the election for The Washington Post, is reportedly on the list.

In september her team was forced to bat away a story that she had not taken any formal questions from the press since she was named as Joe Biden's vice presidential pick, over a month previously. Harris had spoken to local media and some digital outlets such as The 19th, focusing on women, and The Grio, focusing on black issues.

She had not, however, held formal press sessions, according to a Reuters fact check.

The Atlantic reported that Harris, unlike Mike Pence and Biden before him, would not come to chat with reporters while flying with them on Air Force Two.

Harris's behavior raised eyebrows online.

One Twitter user likened her to Richard Nixon, who famously kept lists of his enemies.

Another wondered whether she was going to set the FBI on them.

Another remarked: 'She "tracks" reporters? Seems... interesting, to say the least.'
