Sailer: Journalism Has Replaced the Five Ws with the Five Os

Excerpted by Nicholas Stix

“Journalists used to write news stories where they crammed the Five Ws — Who, What, Where, When, and Why — into the first paragraph or even the first sentence.

“But nowadays, the Five Os are more highly valued: Obfuscation, Opinion, Obscurity, Occlusion, and Opposite-orientation.”

[“LA Times: Somebody Did Something in Yorba Linda,” by Steve Sailer, The Unz Review, September 27, 2020.]
