Chapter 62 Let's talk about the selection of candidates (ask for subscription~ ask for votes, there will be a third update later)

James, the editor-in-chief of Clarion Daily, is a veteran journalist. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He almost lost count of how many years he'd been in journalism.

All he remembered was that when he was very young, he was already a newsboy on the streets of New York. In James's days as a newsboy, the newspaper was the world's authoritative mouthpiece.

Whether it's the workers paving the pipes on the side of the Fifth Avenue or the spirited elite dressed up in the Empire State Building. They are all used to buying a newspaper every day and reading what is useful to them.

The smell of ink from those newspapers invaded the bone marrow, imprinted into James's soul, and began to grow with him.

Those flying words, those laughing and scolding brushwork. Those who dare to confront authority and scold the current power of the US government are the agitation of a bunch of stupid donkeys.

There are also comments on current affairs and social care. Even whether the latest movie is good or not is up to the media.

There are many, many similar examples, which were decided by the newspaper media in those days.

In that era, journalists were crowned uncrowned kings. Because they are the most authoritative mouthpieces, they hold the most important voice in this world.

Hollywood movies want a good reputation to look for them. A company needs a good reputation and needs to look for them.

If it's an election year, those politicians are bound to visit editorials who are highly influential in the media. Ask them to say a few more kind words for themselves so that they can better get more votes.

The authority of journalists and the media has become an unshakable belief in the deepest part of James's soul in his childhood. So he decided at that time that he would one day become a good journalist.

Become the uncrowned king of this world!

It was a bit of a hard road, and it took him decades to finally start the daily Clarion Newspaper. The Clarion became the largest print media organization in New York, even surpassing the New York Daily.

With James's continuous efforts, this news empire has continued to expand its territory. Whether it's the web media or the TV field, they are involved.

James, who was a newsboy at the time, is now at the helm of a news empire, a figure in the upper echelons of society.

But the longer he wore the title of Uncrowned King, James felt more and more that the title began to lose its appeal to him.

Yes, the uncrowned king is still uncrowned. The real crown must be crowned and worn on one's head, and that is what one wants. And because of this sudden idea, James set his sights on the political arena.

The real power in this world must still enter the political arena, enter the parliament, and even enter the White House. Only then can we truly talk about being the king of the world!

And if he wants to enter politics, he needs a suitable opportunity. After many mediations, we finally got the qualification of the New York City mayoral candidate.

In this year's New York election, he is determined to win! The mayor of New York City will be his first step into politics, and his goal is not only that, but he also wants to go to higher places.

But that's all for later, and now it's important to take the first step steadily. You know, the mayor of New York City is even more important in the United States than the governors of many states.

If you want to win a fierce election in this place, it will take some means. For example, what James is doing now, using the smear of Spider-Man to build prestige for himself before the election.

The inspiration for this incident was that the incident brought to him by Captain America suing the military.

When his informant at the police station inquired about a controversial case involving Spider-Man. James's keen intuition immediately associated with the fact that there was an article that could be manipulated.

So he quickly got people in touch with the lawyer named Lucar. Hopefully, he will come forward to defend Mark McHon. Put this matter on the legal agenda and keep expanding it.

He wants to use Spider-Man's fame to make a pedal for himself to ascend to the top.

James knew that doing so would indeed have some Spider-Man fans questioning him. But it doesn't matter, does it. Because not all New Yorkers are fans of Spider-Man.

Politics is like that, when you're ready to please some, you'll always have to abandon the others. James did a good job. Including the previous everything went very well.

Before the campaign officially began, he gained a lot of attention by constantly denigrating and slandering Spider-Man, as well as the support of a considerable part of the public.

This made him feel a little proud.

As for what will happen to Spider-Man? What's the matter with him? James doesn't like Spider-Man, never will! He likes war heroes like Captain America, not people like Spider-Man who gets into trouble in the city every day!

At nine o'clock, as usual, James arrived at the Clarion Daily building with a brisk pace.

He's wondering what kind of editorial he'll need to write today to continue canvassing for his mayoral election. He didn't notice that the employees around him looked at him with strange faces.

It wasn't until he reached his office door that his assistant, a young man in his early twenties who had just graduated from college, stopped him. "Head, what are you going to do with the things on the site now?"

The assistant looked scratching his head, as if he was having some trouble.

James, on the other hand, was confused. "What website?"

"Of course it's our Clarion Daily website, don't you know that?" It turned out that James didn't know about the website yet, and it seemed that no one had informed him at all, because no one had touched his moldy head.

And I didn't know it and stupidly bumped into it, damn it! Wait a minute, this old guy will be angry with himself, is he going to deduct my salary again? Oh my God! I haven't been paid my full salary for four months!

Last month he found an excuse to deduct my salary because I didn't wear a tie at work, and now that this incident has happened, I can't get all of my salary deducted by this old bastard! The young assistant thought sadly, he had already decided, and he would start looking for a job later.

Hey! In a big city like New York, it is really difficult to find a job for a second-rate college graduate like himself who is not a graduate of a prestigious school! The assistant opens the mobile phone APP, hoping to find a position in the same city.

James walked into his office with questions, turned on his computer and logged into the website.

The moment he entered the website, James quickly understood what the trouble on the website was that the assistant had just said.

Just last night's brewing, the heroic short film released by Li Jie has exceeded 50 million views around the world. Even many people across the ocean who didn't know the heroes of New York City at all began to pay attention to them.

And what Li Jie said in the video: The honor of heroes should not be a stepping stone for others. A lot of people are speculating about what this sentence means.

Then some New York City citizens quickly thought that all the heroes had opened Weibo, but Spider-Man did not. And some citizens who read the daily newspaper have also contacted the trouble that Spider-Man has been in recently.

Lucard's complaint against Spider-Man, accusing him of violently imprisoning Mark McHon, was turned over by netizens and spread online.

And the editor-in-chief of Clarion Daily recently criticized Spider-Man.

Some things seemed like nothing at the time, but I just couldn't help but think about it. In particular, there are professionals among many netizens.

For example, a retired lawyer is sensitive to the smell of politics. He found out that James had recently become a candidate for mayor of New York City.

With a professional intuition. He subconsciously felt that these things were not so simple. He spent two hours roughly discussing his guesses.

It is believed that this is likely to be a political show directed and staged by James, and the purpose is to warm up for his upcoming election campaign. He wants to be mayor of New York!

This post also spread quickly through the popularity of the video. Political conspiracy theories and political squalor are almost instinctually disgusting to most citizens, and at the same time have to be affirmed that such things must exist.

And what brought the conspiracy theory to its climax this time was another video. The clerk who was robbed, he posted a video of himself.

"I'm guilty, I'm really guilty. The clerk's head was lowered and his tone was lost. "I watched the Spider-Man video and I felt like I was wrong. ”

"I'm only now discovering that Spider-Man is a mortal like us. He will be happy, he will be lost, he will be hurt. ”

"He helped me, and I hurt him!" said the convenience store clerk, suddenly choked up. "That robber, Mark McHon. He did rob my store! He forced me to open the ATM under the pretext of changing change and snatched the banknotes!"

"The twenty dollars were just the ones he forgot to take with him, not really the change!" the clerk's tone became agitated and generous.

"I'm sorry, Spider-Man. I was wrong. It was the man's defense lawyer, the man named Lucar, who found me, and he knew that I needed money to pay off my student loans. He gave me $50,000 to change my mind!"

"For the sake of this money, I didn't tell the truth when I recorded my statement. I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. You've done so much for us, and I claim to be your fan, but I've hurt you. ”

"After recording this video, I will go to the police station and turn myself in. I'm still going to apologize to you here, Spider-Man, I'm sorry. ”

A short film of two minutes in length caused an uproar across the Internet.

Now the truth of the whole incident is almost revealed. Lucar almost certainly used illegal means to fight the lawsuit, and Mark McHon's information was revealed.

He was often drunk and troublesome, and he also injured his co-workers in the dock area, and he was already fired from the dock and unemployed. And there are several previous minor criminal records. This is a complete bastard and a poor ghost.

He couldn't have had the money to hire a barrister like Lucar, let alone $50,000 to give someone hush money.

At this time, the spearhead of the whole incident turned and pointed at the initiator of the political show, James, the editor-in-chief of the daily Clarion Newspaper.

And now the website of the daily Clarion has completely fried. Numerous comments demanding James' apology to Spider-Man have been swiped within the site. There are so many that even network administrators don't have time to delete them.

James collapsed limply in his leather seat. He whispered it in his mouth. "How so, how so. ”

And as Li Jie said, the show has just begun. These things are just the spontaneous things of those netizens who support Spider-Man on the Internet.

Li Jie hasn't done it himself. Just as his Frank said that day. I want to step on the hero's reputation and take Spider-Man as a stepping stone to the throne of the mayor of New York City. Dream on!

You know, politics and capital are always inseparable. And New York City uses two of the world's top tycoons, and these two tycoons have a good relationship with him.

Therefore, Li Jie felt that he might have to talk to Tony about the mayoral choice of New York City first.
