“If you want to know about, and work toward, a different world—and if you want to stand up and fight back against what's being done to people—this is where you go. You go to this Party, you take up this Party's newspaper, you get into this Party's leader and what he's bringing forward.” Bob Avakian - Revolutionary Communist Party
The Tribune is committed to Midwestern values and concerns, and brings that sensibility to the public debate. In both its words and its actions, it seeks out true innovation, but is unimpressed by momentary trend and skeptical of untested theory. This has been a basic hallmark of the Tribune throughout its history and continues to guide this newspaper. It encourages constructive change in the light of tradition and the lessons of history. Experience, as well as intellect, is essential to wisdom. Chicago Tribune Principles
Innovation? "Innovation, for its part, can refer to something new or to a change made to an existing product, idea, or field., says Merriam -Webster
Innovation like a Revolution"?
How about "give a spoken or written account of something that one has observed, heard, done, or investigated.." That is the definition of a "Report." Revolution can come later.
I saw a Malibu and the Malibu is a Chevrolet product.
I saw a Whopper and it is a Burger King product.
I saw a Big MAC and it is a McDonald's product.
I saw a Refuse Fascism (RF) Protest and RF is part of the Revolutionary Communist Party.
I read about the Trump protest organized by Refuse Fascism that was covered in the Chicago Tribune which refused to mention the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Why is that?
Does the Trib assume everyone already knows that Refuse Fascism RF is a product of the Revolutionary Communist Party REVCOM?
Does the Chicago Tribune believe, as the shut-down DNAinfo Chicago did, that people should not know that there is any connection between the two?
I believe it is the later.
More than 100 protesters marched in a light rain through Chicago's Loop to Trump Tower on Saturday, part of demonstrations in more than a dozen cities scheduled nearly a year after President Donald Trump’s election.
The protestors, who carried signs reading “The Trump/Pence Regime MUST GO!” first rallied at Federal Plaza, at Adams and Dearborn streets, then marched north on State Street. They were outnumbered by uniformed police officers. A group called Refuse Fascism called for rallies Saturday in more than 20 cities. Speakers at the Chicago rally said they hoped the protests would build until millions of Americans took to the streets in opposition to the Trump administration. Steve Schmadeke for Chicago Tribune
Steve Schmadeke probably knows that there is direct link between Refuse Fascism and the Revolutionary Communist Party and Revolution Books. I know that a Malibu is a Chevy, for God's sake and I know that REVCOM was behind most of the Joshua Beal protests last November. DNAinfo Chicago knew too, but kept it out of print. DNAinfo Chicago and Gothamist were shut down last week by its owner. Even Wikipedia know offers the connection between between Refuse Fascism and REVCOM.
DNAinfo Chicago failed, because it did not live up to the expectations of owner. The owner expected solid local coverage of neighborhood events to give ".written account of something that one has observed, heard, done, or investigated." Joe Ricketts said, "while we made important progress toward building DNAinfo into a successful business, in the end, that progress hasn’t been sufficient to support the tremendous effort and expense needed to produce the type of journalism on which the company was founded.”
DNAinfo Chicago ignored the Revolutionary Communist Party's key role in the Joshua Beal protests all last year, even though the signs (paid for by REVCOM) pointed in that direction.
The Revolutionary Communist Party is as dangerous as any alt-right band of bravos. It is a thug organization that provides street cover for left-leaning activists, journalists and politicians, while killing off public debate and free speech everywhere.
Protest up a storm against Trump, or fois gras, 24/7!
Just report honestly . . . for once.
Look at the signs.
Look at the players.
Report what is there.
Leave the innovation and revolution to the Edisons and the Lenins.
