Journalist Who Broke Story of Jewish Women Barred From Chicago ‘Dyke March’ demoted (tr)
The Algemeiner ^ | 7/10/17 | Ben Cohen

Posted on 07/11/2017 6:04:18 AM PDT by jalisco555

An award-winning journalist who broke the story of the group of Jewish women ejected from an LGBTQ march in Chicago 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.”

This is not an industry which is interested in “News”.

This is an industry which is interested in making sure people “think correctly” about stuff.

hypocrisy is the hallmark of the left

It must be so, because their ideas, statements and actions are always and necessarily contradictory.

Muzzies are infiltrating leftist groups to further destabilize the west.

The absurdity of a Muslim woman claiming to be a feminist aside, this is another jihad front on our society.

Of course, once in charge their fellow feminist and lesbian fighters will be used as sex slaves. But for now they are useful idiots.

Thought control by the radical left. It’s what they do! There is no freedom when liberals are in control.

Dyke March? I think a Dyke Hike sounds catchier.

She can't even discuss it with her close friends? That must be quite a contract she signed.

"“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.”"

How did that conversation go? "You're fired from reporting- you go sit and answer phones... and don't tell ANYONE, not even you friends or family...".

In all fairness to the dykes (we must) they would have kicked out the Nazi Leather Fetish Womyn if they would have shown up with a rainbow swastika flag. Well maybe not.

The left does NOT WANT their systemic antisemitism exposed... that's a ‘no-no’.... The demotion is a warning to other journalists.

The big question: would they have kicked out a group who showed up with a rainbow colored ISIS flag? My guess is that they would have put them at the front.

Does anyone else find it odd that dykes say they hate men, yet they often seek out dykes that look and dress like men? . This pervasive mental disorder has some very odd and revolting behavior associated with it.
