| Journalist Who Broke Story of Jewish Women Barred From Chicago ‘Dyke March’ Removed From Reporting Duties |
| 2017-07-12 |
| [ALGEMEINER] An award-winning journalist who broke the story of the group of Jewish women ejected from an LGBTQ march in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... last month has been reassigned to non-journalistic duties at the paper which ran the original report, the Windy City Times. Gretchen Rachel Hammond -- whose June 24 story caused a national storm after she detailed how three women flying Jewish Pride flags embossed with the Star of David were instructed to leave the gathering by organizers from the Dyke March Collective -- confirmed to The Algemeiner on Monday that while she was still employed by the paper, she was not presently engaged in its reporting and writing operations. "At this time, I have not been fired from Windy City Times, but I have been transferred to working full time for the sales department," Hammond explained in an emailed statement. "The reasoning is an internal matter and I have been instructed not to comment about it even to close friends. Given my present situation, I must comply with this instruction." |

| #6 You know, I - similarly to several generations of Israeli school children - used to snicker over certain biblical passages describing David/Jonathan relations. That is, one could make a case that David does belong in LGBT parade. |

| #5 Per Wiki: "Windy City Times is the oldest LGBT newspaper in Chicago" So not really a newspaper; more like an advocacy journal. |

| #3 Reporter might lose job for reporting actual news? Reporter under-reporting/makeup fake news to keep their job (paycheck is somehow important) That explain the news and why it sucks so much. |

| #2 This being Chicago(a bastion of Democrats), how long before the reporter comes down with a severe case of "suicide" or "accidental" death? |

| #1 Reporter removed from reporting duties? How intolerant. If somehow this reporter linked this story to Trump and Russian collusion, Hammond would still be reporting and lauded. |
