The five elements of journalism

| No Comments

An oldie but a goodie - to properly tell a story, you need the five W's: Who, What, Where, When and Why - this actually dates back to late Roman times - 400 AD and such.

Movie Director Quentin Tarantino made the headlines when he delivered an anti-cop tirade at a rally in New York City:

Director Quentin Tarantino fired up the crowd by complaining that cops are too often “murderers.”

“When I see murders, I do not stand by . . . I have to call a murder a murder and I have to call the murderers the murderers,” the “Pulp Fiction” auteur blathered to a cheering rally-goers.

OK - we have the Who, the What, the When and the Where - now, for the Why.

From Breitbart:

QUENTIN TARANTINO’S ANTI-COP COMMENTS CAME AT REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNIST RISE UP EVENT
Lost in the media’s reportage of Quentin Tarantino’s using rhetoric scripted by Black Lives Matter is the fact that the Rise Up October event at which Tarantino spoke was organized by revolutionary communists who advocate the armed overthrow of the United States of America.

In an article Thursday titled Quentin Tarantino Boycott Is a ‘Mafia-Style Protection Racket,’ Protest Organizer Says, TheWrap writes:

“It really is a Mafia-style protection racket thing, only the payoff is toeing the political line, not cash,” Carl Dix told TheWrap Thursday as he lashed out against the police groups threatening to boycott Tarantino’s upcoming western “The Hateful Eight.”

Who is Carl Dix, the protest organizer defending Tarantino and equating the police with the mafia?

Mr. Dix is one of the founding members of the Revolutionary Communist Party, a group that has held anti-police events in October for nearly two decades and that openly advocates for an armed overthrow of the United States of America.

In other words, Quentin Tarantino was not merely speaking at an event that was anti-police; he was an active, invited participant in a rally that is anti-military, anti-capitalist, and anti-American.

The article then goes on to do a profile of Mr. Dix - a pathetic piece of re-animated 1950's trash. A useful idiot in Lenin's terms.

Carl Dix’s official biography on the Revolutionary Communist Party site says Dix “believes that only all-the-way communist revolution can end the oppression suffered by billions of people across this planet.”

Dix and his comrades are very clear what “all-the-way communist revolution” means: an armed overthrow of the U.S. government.

A lot more at the article regarding Mr. Dix and his fellow travelers - video and links to corroborating evidence. The article closes with this:

Since it is proven that the Black Lives Matter movement was founded and is being led by revolutionary communists, the only question is whether the media will ever call its defenders like Tarantino, Clinton, or Rubio out and ask them one simple question: How can you possibly support a group that is calling for the armed overthrow of America?

If the Revolutionary Communist Party and revolutionaries behind Black Lives Matter got their way, it would not just be patriotic Americans, the devout and registered Republicans killed en masse. No, progressive multi-millionaires like the smiling reporters of the mainstream media, Hillary Clinton, Quentin Tarantino, his film producer ally Harvey Weinstein, and every megastar who has ever been featured in a Tarantino flick would be stripped of their riches, frogmarched into the nearest public square, and then shot or hung in front of a cheering proletariat mob.

Hey Quentin - I did really like your movies. You have a unique vision but your personal politics and political activism are so far divorced from the reality of the street that I can no longer support your work. You are dead to me - say hello to your good buddy Sean Penn who is in the same category. Fscking poseurs...
