Stars and Stripes staffers sue The Pentagon.
Stars and Stripes Journalists Sue Pentagon to Halt Retaliatory Firings
Lawsuit alleges Pentagon is firing journalists defending editorial independence, seeks emergency stay from court
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Democracy Defenders Fund, Lawyers for Good Government, Government Accountability Project and the Yale School Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic today filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Stars and Stripes publisher Max Lederer, editor-in-chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte seeking to stop the Department of Defense from firing them.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Slavin and Korte have been charged with insubordination for speaking publicly in support of Stars and Stripes' long-standing editorial independence when covering the Pentagon. Lederer has been charged with insubordination for speaking publicly about his personal concerns with the direction and leadership of Stars and Stripes, and for refusing to fire Slavin and Korte. The lawsuit alleges that the Pentagon's actions violate the First Amendment and its own personnel rules and asks the court to issue an immediate temporary restraining order to block the terminations from going through.
Slavin and Korte are being fired merely for saying on the CBS Sunday Morning TV show that Stars and Stripes should remain independent of Pentagon and political influence. The firings were initiated the day after Stars and Stripes broke the story about the dire conditions on the USS
Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier.
