Is this lady in over her head?

To absurdum this idiotic reductio to its inevitable conclusion, reporters might end up having to argue the racist “one drop” rule just to compete in the Chicago market. Lightfoot has certainly incentivized that outcome with this new standard.

Can you see an editor promising good coverage for just a drop?
