Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty was falsely implicated in a March 3 hit-and-run, despite having nothing to do with the incident. The allegation was then leaked to the media. The mayor’s office has since opened an investigation into the leak, and the president of the Portland Police Association stepped down due to his handling of the incident. Commissioner Hardesty joins us to discuss how race and racism have affected her career as an elected official. And Joseph Torres, senior director at Free Press and co-author of the book “News for All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media,” tells us how this one incident fits into a larger history of news media perpetuating stereotyped and inaccurate coverage of people of color.
