NEW YORK — The New York Times accused a federal civil rights agency Friday of political retaliation and free speech infringement in a countersuit filed in response to a discrimination lawsuit the news organization faces on behalf of a white male employee who was rejected for a role awarded to a multiracial woman.
In a court filing, the news organization said the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the lawsuit in retaliation for its critical coverage of President Donald Trump’s administration, in particular a story reporting that EEOC staff are under pressure to bring in cases that fit with the government’s priorities, including discrimination claims by white men.
