Chapter 444: Where Is the Conscience?

Reject directly!

This garbage is a waste of time!

"If you want to play a work that reveals the bottom of the world, I have another one here. Su Yao had long known that Ding Cheng would not accept it, so she smiled and took out another script.

"The Washington Post?"

Ding Cheng was stunned, is this also an action movie?

opened the script and was even more surprised: "The director is Spielberg"

"The heroine is Meryl Streep!" Su Yao smiled: "Isn't it amazing?"

Ding Cheng nodded, studied the script attentively, and recreated the famous Pentagon Papers leak. A Department of Defense official exposed classified documents involving the U.S. government in the Vietnam War through media outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and before the documents were made public, the U.S. Department of Defense tried and failed to obstruct the exposure of the documents.

It marked the beginning of the discrediting of the Nixon-led federal government, which led directly to the downfall of the Nixon administration after the Watergate scandal.

The protagonists are the editor Ben Bradley who plays a key role with the publisher Kegraham.

"Director Lao Pi's own company invested, and Fox took a stake, which should be a work in semi-biographical form. ”

Su Yao analyzed: "Even if the box office is famous, it will not be high, let alone in China, so ......"

Ding Cheng understood what Yao Zai meant, not to mention the box office, his competitiveness against the protagonist is not great, after all, ......

But it feels very interesting, because in the past few days, the behavior of a domestic media reporter eating human blood steamed buns has just caused anger among netizens.

Ten years ago, at the age of 14, she sent her family to prison on charges of sexual assault and other crimes, and then disappeared......

The news quickly went viral and was read by millions of people. From the title to the content, between the lines is hinting at the reader: Tang Lanlan framed the whole family.

Ding Cheng paid attention to the whole process, and today he looked back at the Washington Post script in his hand, and finally understood what a real media person is!

According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the Vietnam War was the most unpopular war in the history of the United States, and the anti-Vietnam War action in society has been growing and growing, and anti-war demonstrations have broken out in major cities.

In 1965, the Secretary of Defense knew that the United States could not win the Vietnam War, but the President chose to deceive Congress and the people.

70% of the reason is to escape the shame of the defeat of the United States, knowing that they will not win, and they send their soldiers to their deaths. But the problem is that Congress and the people are kept in the dark!

Aylesberg was originally an employee of the Pentagon as a special assistant to the assistant secretary of defense. After a field trip to Vietnam, the consistent perception of the war was completely changed.

He began to make anti-war rhetoric and persuade anti-war members of Congress to challenge the Nixon administration to end the Vietnam War at an early date. But there have been setbacks one after another, because it is impossible for these parliamentarians to gamble on their political future.

Several attempts were made in a relatively mild way, but they failed and had to take an aggressive approach. So he leaked state secret documents to the New York Times.

As a result, they really reported it.

Although it is only a few thousand pages of research reports, the full report will recount how the White House lied about the Vietnam War over the past three decades, from Truman to Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, all of which lied and grossly misled the country.

The whole country was so shocked that even a federal judge stepped in to ban the New York Times from publishing classified documents related to the Vietnam War, the first time in U.S. history that a court has banned newspapers from publishing.

The Washington Post continued to shoulder this daunting task, and its editor-in-chief, Ben Bradley, sent Ben Bagdeacin, a subordinate, to Aylesberg, see the entire document, and bring it back to the Press.

"Publishing the document is a felony because a federal judge believes it would ruin America," the legal counsel said.

His response was: if you don't publish it, you will ruin America!

Colleagues also have good words to advise: expose the secrets of the government for many years, and we will be sentenced, and the Washington Post will cease to exist.

He countered that if we lived in a world where the government decided what we should publish, the Washington Post would be long gone.

The only way to defend the right to publish is through the publication itself!

This group of conscientious media people published all the documents at the risk of being banned, the risk of the newspaper going out of business, the risk of being sentenced, and even the risk of losing their lives.

Just when everyone thought they would be sentenced, they won the case by a vote of 6:3 and were acquitted.

Because the court believes that instead of treason, this group of people saved the lives of countless soldiers, saved thousands of families, and saved a country!

For the sake of conscience, the Washington Post did not hesitate to gamble everything to be the enemy of the country.

However, a domestic reporter pushed a young girl into the dark abyss again in order to attract people's attention......

All this stems from October 3, 08, when Tang Lanlan, who was only 14 years old, wrote a report letter to the police, saying that she had been violated by more than ten people including her father, grandfather, uncle, uncle, teacher, village director, and neighbors since she was 7 years old.

Within three days, 16 people in the village were arrested and all sentenced.

After four years of investigation, evidence collection, and arrest of the suspect, the entire case has been closed, and Tang Lanlan has finally started a new life.

However, a reporter did not interview whether the prisoner had committed a crime, nor did he investigate whether the police had extorted a confession, let alone suspect whether the court had paid bribes.

Instead, the fault is attributed to the most unlikely person – the victim.

relied on his own imagination to convict Tang Lanlan without permission, causing secondary harm to the victim.

Spread rumors with one mouth, refute rumors and break your legs.

Isn't the results of the investigation by the police and the courts, which took four years, as rigorous as the article you wrote in your hand?

As a journalist, just because you feel unreasonable, you keep saying that the fact that someone has been hurt for seven years is false?

In Ding Cheng's opinion, he is always shouting that he doesn't believe rumors and doesn't spread rumors, but in fact, ordinary netizens don't know which are rumors and which are not.

What can really be done is not the mass netizens, but the media people.

If they tell a lie, there will be more rumors, and if they tell the truth, there will be fewer rumors.

The words of journalists and public figures will affect the minds of countless people.

The erroneous remarks of netizens, the erroneous reports of the media, everything originates from that piece of news, it is the root of all evil.

Nowadays, the threshold for media people is too low, just make up a news, others may follow the trend and write a similar one, and what is even more terrifying is that fake news will slowly be taken seriously by people after being repeated over and over again.

On January 4, 16, a number of media outlets published fake news about a 6.9-magnitude earthquake in Jiujiang;

On March 15, the talented woman of Peking University returned to her hometown to start a business, and the false news that she gave up white-collar workers and chose to send express delivery spread all over the country;

On October 6, the female employees of this company, which has swept Weibo and Moments, queue up every morning, and the boss's kissing post in turn has also been confirmed to be untrue......

No matter how small a mistake is, multiplying it by 1.3 billion is a big mistake, and multiplying it by 1.3 billion is a big lie.

It takes 4 years for judicial officers to investigate and collect evidence and arrest the suspect, and it takes 10 years for Tang Lanlan to start a new life, and it only takes a moment to destroy all this.

And Ayersberg's approach was to risk his life to go to the battlefield for field investigations, and he went to great lengths to obtain state secret documents, and only then did he dare to call on everyone to oppose the war.

Where is your conscience?
