New article for Aaron Rupar's Public Notice has some info on the butt-hurt white male siccing the EEOC on the NYT
https://www.publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller-america-first-legal-trumpMost of the article is about how the Stephen Miller-founded America First Legal law firm for butt-hurt white males convinced they're victims of discrimination works with Trump's completely misguided EEOC. AFL had nothing to do with the EEOC going after the NYT, but I'm glad this info was included anyway:
The New York Times doesn’t show up in AFL’s braggy little list of all the companies it wants the government to go after, but let’s face it: even if the firm had nothing to do with the EEOC’s new lawsuit against the paper for reverse discrimination, Stephen Miller is probably dancing a jig or drinking the blood of infants or whatever it is that a depraved goblin does to celebrate.
The EEOC’s lawsuit doesn’t name the aggrieved white dude complaining that the Times didn’t promote him because he’s pale and male, but people have ferreted out that it is likely Bryant Rousseau, a senior editor and producer on the international news desk.

The lawsuit hangs quite a bit on Rousseau’s assertion that he was more qualified than the “multiracial female” who was ultimately hired, because he had real estate journalism experience and she did not. But what it doesn’t mention is that the job listing specifically asked for experience in service journalism and as a supervisor, both of which the successful candidate, Monica Burton, had, and, well, Rousseau did not.
The complaint also omits Burton’s qualifications, which allowed the EEOC to pretend the Times did Rousseau dirty because of how much it hates white men. In fact, Burton spent eight years at Eater in progressively larger editorial roles, including serving as the site’s deputy editor for four years and supervising a team of writers. Before that, she was an associate editor at Time and before that, Investopedia. Rousseau, by contrast, appears to have stalled out for nearly a decade in his role at the paper and doesn’t appear to have any supervisory experience.

But hey, Rousseau does try to sell some of sloppiest AI slop art I've ever seen:
