Chapter 161: Shorting

"Absolutely True", the teaching journal of the game church, but I'm afraid that not many people in New Winteria City remember its identity anymore, just like the signature daily newspaper of a certain city, and everyone will not deliberately pay attention to its producer.

Habitual buying, habitually getting the latest information from it, habitually trusting the truth in it, private media and commercial media have achieved this point, which is more official than the official media.

After defeating many competitors to stand out, the weekly magazine sold more than 200,000 yuan, and considering that most of the Seymour people in New Town have the habit of circulating and listening to newspapers, in fact, the impact has reached nearly one million, and most of New Tonia City has been affected by it.

The million-level influence is not an exaggeration, and even in Jiaocheng, there is a custom of hiring literate professional newspaper readers, taverns, and teahouses to read newspapers to attract customers, so the final impact of a newspaper may be nearly 100 people.

For a long time, perhaps Rorschach's acceptance of this ridiculous journal with dozens of sales, has been grasping this outdated paper media as a matter of life and death.

Because he has experienced the era of global media, he has a deep understanding of the power of public opinion and the media, and selective reporting when necessary is a kind of soft violence that can withstand thousands of troops with one word.

Absolute truth does not mean that there is no position, and news reports that have no foothold at all cannot exist from the beginning, even from the perspective of public welfare and environmental protection, there is a natural position of human beings and nature.

Words are meant to express the thoughts of the heart, and since the ideas themselves are subjectively created, how can they be completely unaffected by subjectivity.

".......... New Tonya City joint development of the no-man's land station was at a loss, and finally reluctantly announced the abandonment of the station. ”

There is nothing wrong with this report itself, and it is also the style of "Absolutely True" as always, the narrative style is simple and direct, explaining the ins and outs of the matter in a blank way, and the fact that the opponent has bad intentions through "some method" and finally chooses to give up.

Except for the slightly negative titles, the narratives are rigorous and objective, biased towards describing the difficulties of exploration, and can also give better psychological expectations to those new occupants.

The censors of the Eagle Crown looked at it several times, but they didn't find the slightest problem, so they were relieved to let "Absolutely True" be published.

But something went wrong.

"The top five directors of the board of directors of the ........ of 20 people discussed behind closed doors all night and decided to withdraw overnight. ”

"The Titan affair has proven to be a rumor, the estimated value of No Man's Land has been greatly reduced, and the top five major churches have decided to abolish the New Tonia City chapter. ”

"Winterfell's diplomatic environment is getting worse and worse, and the top three candidates for Horntown have expressed hostility towards outsiders. Whoever comes to power is likely to trigger a new round of racial struggles and disputes. ”

"With frequent train accidents, a deficit for three consecutive months since its official operation, and unpaid labor wages from a year ago, external investors have questioned the trust of United Automobile Transport and demanded that it release this year's financial results in advance. ”

Since a week ago, all kinds of bad news have been circulating in an avalanche.

Some were reported by the big newspapers and tabloids, some were spread on the streets and alleys, and some were floated over from the corner city.

There are true, some false, some half-true, and a lot of bad news, all of which explode in a short period of time.

For a while, people were panicked, and they were about to find official public opinion to confirm that this issue of "Absolute Truth" was published, and it was an instant hit, and even refreshed the previous historical record of 230,000 copies sold, reaching the terrible value of 300,000.

The result was not only not a reassuring official opinion, but a report of a huge setback to the joint opening up of the great churches.

Such negative reports seem to verify the previous news of "divestment" and "big church running away", just like the third tiger among the three tigers, or the real news of the most trustworthy channel in authenticity, and public opinion exploded in an instant.

There is nothing wrong with this report itself, the problem is the timing of its coming out, which is too coincidental, too coincidental.

At that time, the big church realized that the situation was not right, and urgently made an appointment with the editor-in-chief, Rorschach, only to find that after he finished the first draft of the journal, he first returned to Ash, and then returned to Earth to get some visas and inheritances, and he could not be found to come back at all.

The rest of the editorial department is really not weighty, and without Rorschach's special signature to guarantee authenticity, they casually come up with rumors that are doubtful in authenticity, which will only exacerbate the current people's distrust of the big church.

If you force the game church to fake the signature and fake news........ not to mention whether the game church is willing to smash the signboard that has worked hard for so many years, once the news spreads weirdly, it will be a real devastating blow.

In the midst of the storm, the "state media" quickly muted after spitting out negative news, which is ten or a hundred times worse than not saying anything.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and many small and medium-sized churches even began to withdraw their shares to seek peace and security, and people outside the big churches were closely watched, for fear that something would happen to them.

If there is an earthling here, he can probably sum up the current situation of this panicked and dangerous person in one word - shorting!

Yes, short-selling, which is the most commonly used negative news serial bomb in the operation of public opinion by commercial means, blew up the entire New Tonia City people's mindset, as if the scene that was thriving last month was fake.

Here is a little hidden danger of New Tonia City, they are a church-led united city, although there are elements of commercial openness, but the churches pay more attention to strength than reputation, and they don't pay much attention to public opinion, which has led to the infinite expansion of the game church and absolute truth in this regard.

The swelling of competitors cannot be curbed at all, and informants, intelligence traffickers, tabloid reporters, and part-time journalists are actually all held in the hands of the only media boss, the game church, and if they really play intelligence warfare, they cannot be traced back at all.

In order to avoid the leakage of intelligence, all the intelligence operations are done by the direct adventists of the game church.

Now, in order to reverse this increasingly terrible atmosphere of public opinion and calm people's minds, the first thing that the big churches think of is the object they must rely on and turn to, and it can only be the game church........ which is very, very interesting.

What is even more ridiculous than a thief shouting to catch a thief is to spend a lot of money to invite those rumor-mongers to refute the rumors, even if someone has noticed that something is wrong with the situation, they must also comfort those rumor-mongers with kind words.

Rorschach is not here, of course he can't be there, isn't there a problem when he asks.

And in his absence, the game church also "just lacks" the most critical means of refuting rumors.

As a result, this "shorting" completely pulled the entire New Tonya City and the Great God Church into a quagmire.
