Man Arrested After Grabbing TV Reporter, Yelling Vile Phrase

WGN's Gaynor Hall wrote to the 20-year-old: "You grabbed me. You scared me. Was it worth it?”

You mean ... it’s not nice to do those kind of things to a woman?!   But ... DONALD TRUMP has done it and no one arrested him ...

From JooJoo Azad:

"I was on WGN for a live interview last week, and was asked to speak about my work and my book, but when I gave answers the hosts didn't like, their questions (and comments) started to get hostile, literally telling me I "don't sound American." They gave me 5 minutes on-air. I'm going to give myself this short article instead. Here are a few quick thoughts about this interview (which they also did not publish online, or give us access to the clip), as I feel it serves as a good example for a bit of commentary that can be applied to so many conversations happening now, and relevant to the work that is happening here on JooJoo Azad."

Read the incredible work of this fashion blogger, Hoda Katabi, on their website, JoojooAzad.com.

This ought to make you soil your pants: Newly posted to Fuzzy Memories’ YouTube page is this tape from Chicago’s WGN-TV, dated from April 1985 (according to the extensive notes on the YouTube page).

It never aired, but I assume was kept around just in case of, well, you know. I’m assuming here that WGN was a PEP (or Primary Entry Point) station in the Chicagoland area, and remains so under the Emergency Alert System (the successor to the EBS).
