The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against The New York Times on Tuesday, claiming that the paper had engaged in “unlawful employment practices” and had discriminated against a white male employee who did not get a sought-after promotion.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, says The Times’s “stated race and sex-based representation goals influenced the decision not to advance” the man’s candidacy for a deputy real estate editor role in 2025.
“The New York Times categorically rejects the politically motivated allegations brought by the Trump administration’s E.E.O.C.,” said Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokeswoman for The Times. “Our employment practices are merit-based and focused on recruiting and promoting the best talent in the world. We will defend ourselves vigorously.”
The lawsuit followed a rapid escalation of an investigation that began last year when an employee filed a complaint with the E.E.O.C. in New York. The lawsuit indicates that the employee, who is not named, had worked at the paper as an editor since 2014 and applied for the deputy editor job in 2025.

Does this mean I get reparations after the decision?
Mark Levin has been promoting that recently (and loudly).
I love this! I hate the NYT. Not many people fully realize how dangerous the leftist media is.
“Our employment practices are merit-based and focused on recruiting and promoting the best talent in the world.”
Recruiting and promoting the best in the world? They haven’t done a good job of it.
who was WM ? Trump?
Anyone discriminated by DEI. If this succeeds it could open up a yuge can of worms.
I’m glad to see Trump and his team get aggressive on the rank commies that control the NYT. This will settle SOMEDAY and enrich some attorneys. In the meantime Trump can be killing NYT on legal fees and discovery!
Truth be known, they (Trump et al) are probably after “other” info completely disconnected from this lawsuit.
Journalism is a huge dei area. There is no way they will prove their hiring is merit based.
