hicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) snapped at reporters on Wednesday days after the murder of police officer Ella French, saying that the media is in a “race to the bottom” and that their reporting on her in recent days has been “sickening.”
Hours after the murder, over two dozen police officers turned their backs on Lightfoot when she appeared at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where French’s partner remains in critical condition.
When asked about the protest, Lightfoot whined that “we are living in a time where people don’t respect each other.”
Lightfoot Berates Reporters
t quickly went downhill from there as Lightfoot proceeded to berate the reporters gathered at her press conference.
“Larger than that is this moment where people feel like it is their right to spew hatred at everyone that they don’t agree with or make fun and mock, usually anonymously and cowardly from social media, not confronting somebody directly and talking to them, but using the power of the pen and the keyboard to just spew unbelievable hate,” she said, according to Fox News.
“So this is a larger question than what may have happened with 10 or 15 officers on Saturday night,” Lightfoot continued. “It’s why do we think it is OK for people to engage in such nasty, vicious talk, orally or worse, on social media, and then have it repeated by media as if it is fact and true.”
“I think our media plays a very important role in our democracy, but you lose me, you lose me when it’s a race to the bottom and it’s all about the fight and it’s all about the conflict,” she said. “I’ve got to tell you, some of the reporting I’ve seen this week is just sickening. We all need to ask ourselves what we can do better to show our people everywhere that we have the capacity to be human beings again.”
