Chapter 1193: CNN's counterattack

CNN TV.

The editors and directors of the news gathering department are sorting out the final materials and preparing them to be submitted to the head of the department.

Recently, CNN's ratings have been a bit bleak, and blindly smearing Wang Yong can no longer get much attention, but is easy to arouse people's disgust. After all, there is no real hammer.

On the contrary, CNN's old rival FOX surpassed CNN at once with his recent follow-up report on the Los Angeles police anti-drug case, and had the posture to suppress CNN.

This is something that CNN cannot tolerate under any circumstances.

After all, CNN is a liberal-leaning media, while FOX is leaning conservative. The two are inherently incompatible, and the open and secret struggle has never stopped. Especially some time ago, FOX openly named and ridiculed CNN in the news program of his own TV station, which made the beam between the two sides bigger and bigger.

"Harry, what's the news today? When the meeting was held during the day, the boss had already said that if the ratings can't be surpassed within this week, our entire collection department will have to deduct half a year's bonus!"

The director was unconvinced: "Why only deduct our collection department? The ratings are lost to FOX, and the entire TV station is responsible, and the above thinks that our collection department is easy to bully, right?"

"Alright, Harry. Complaining doesn't solve anything, who makes the family the boss? All we can do is find a breaking news as soon as possible and surpass FOX in one fell swoop!"

"Boss, that's easier said than done. How can there be so much explosive news! Alas, think about last month, although we were frequently slapped in the face by Wang Yong, at least the ratings went up. It's really not good, let's do another show for Wang Yong?" said the director.

The person in charge glanced at the choreographer: "It's okay to use the same move once or twice, how can it still be effective if you use it too much." Now when the audience sees our show to smear Wang Yong, it is directly like seeing the ending, and they are not interested at all. Counting on the consumption of Wang Yong to regain the ratings, there is basically no hope. ”

The choreographer sighed: "Hey, FOX is also shit luck, how did you catch up with the big fat meat of Pidahaya? This Mexican gang has been entrenched in Long Beach for so long, and countless people dream that one day they will be eliminated by the government, and now it has finally come true, but I didn't expect to be robbed by FOX." When do you think we'll ever meet a pie-in-the-sky thing?"

"There will be. The person in charge patted the choreographer on the shoulder and turned away. There was no trace of confidence on his face, and even he didn't believe his own words.

It was only when the person in charge stepped out of the glass door that he suddenly heard Harry behind him shout, "Oh my God......! It's ......"

The person in charge frowned: "Harry, it's the night shift, you will be scared to death if you make such a fuss!"

"No, sir, come and see! It's Pidahaya's news!"

"Pidahaya, the whole gang has been taken down by the Los Angeles police, what news can there be? The little fish and shrimp who are hoping to slip through the net can't do anything to FOX......" muttered the person in charge, but still walked to the screen.

Then, the person in charge opened his eyes and was stupid on the spot.

"This is post-processed, isn't it?" muttered the person in charge for a long time.

The choreographer didn't speak, but started the video on the screen to slow down frame by frame.

After a while, the choreographer said firmly: "I can guarantee that this is the original film! There is absolutely no trace of post-production!"

The person in charge instantly became excited: "In other words, there is another person who arrested Pidahaya, not the Los Angeles police?"

"Theoretically, so. I think the key now is to find the person in the video, and then we can know the truth. ”

The person in charge waved his hand: "No! It doesn't matter what the truth is, the key is that this video has enough explosive points! Just imagine, in reality, there is really a dark knight like Batman, who brings the bad guys to justice, but the police are late, and the hero only leaves the police with a back. Who wouldn't want to hear this kind of story? Moreover, the Los Angeles police had boasted that they had been planning for a long time and had deployed a large number of police forces to complete the arrest. This video slapped them in the face! This kind of reversal is what the people love to watch the most! Harry, immediately edit this video into tomorrow's news! Here is our chance to turn over! This time we will not only not be deducted from the bonus, but will also give a large amount of bonus!"

The choreographer's eyes also lit up, and he said, "Yes!

Early the next morning.

CNN morning news first broadcast some cliché news as usual, and then the host's expression suddenly changed, with a strong mysterious color, said: "In the American society shown in Hollywood movies, we have superheroes such as Superman and Batman, but what about the real real society? Is there also the same hero? I think the answer for many people must be - NO." Before that, I thought the same thing as everyone else, but just last night I received a submission video from my station, and the content of the video subverted our confidence in this answer......"

The host's words quickly attracted the bored audience.

The housewife, who was making breakfast, stopped her hand and began to turn to the television;

The father, who was in a hurry to go to work, just wanted to turn off the TV, but he was suddenly stunned and sat down instead;

Pedestrians walking on the side of the road couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the large screen hanging high in the city square. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people gathered in the square;

The waiter who served the coffee to the customer was also attracted by the image on the TV, and completely forgot about the customer's repeated urgings. And the customer did not complain, his eyes were staring in the same direction as the waiter, and he did not move for a long time.

The picture was beating frame by frame, and when the whole video was played, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"How is that possible! Isn't this really a movie special effect?"

"Oh my God, what did I see? One unarmed man can take down so many gunmen!"

"This street seems familiar. It's Long Beach! I know, all the gunmen here are Pidahaya's gangs! God, it turns out that Pidahaya was killed by one person, not the entire Los Angeles police!"

"Mom, Batman! It's the real Batman!"

The audience was shocked and incoherent, excitedly discussing this inhuman scene with the people around them.

On TV, the CNN host was introducing the video: "After analysis and comparison by our technical department, it was confirmed that this video was not a prank, and every frame of the video was copied from the surveillance equipment." After repeatedly checking the video street view, we also confirmed that the location of the incident was Long Beach, Los Angeles, which is the scene of the drug trafficking case that the Los Angeles police announced that they had solved a few days ago.

The gunman in the video is almost certainly a drug trafficker who belongs to Pidahaya, such as this one, this one, this one...... Comparing their enlarged faces with the police's statistical database, the match was as high as 90 percent.

Therefore, our station has reason to be convinced that this unsung hero is the real hero who has solved the Pidahaya case! And the Los Angeles police have been lying from the very beginning! They are deceiving the people of the whole country! Some television media have even participated in the creation of this scam! This kind of behavior is simply discrediting the entire media industry!"

The last paragraph came out of the mouth of the CNN host, and no matter how you listen to it, it feels a little wrong. After all, CNN doesn't do any less of such things.

But the focus is not on the superheroes in the video, on the Los Angeles police lying, on the FOX TV station and the Los Angeles police on deceiving the American people.

"I'm getting more and more disappointed with American politicians! They are simply unscrupulous for the sake of political achievements! Judging from this video, Pidahaya's gang has no power to resist at all, and then the police have taken advantage of it. But they brag about how hard they worked and how many police officers they injured in the news! Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous!"

"Well, look away, it's not the first time that those politicians have done this. I'm more interested in the unsung hero in the video...... It's just that he always has his back to the camera, and he can't see what he looks like at all!"

The heated discussion among the people has spread from offline to online.

CNN's news clips suddenly became the focus of the whole United States, and the cumulative number of hits on major websites quickly exceeded 100 million.

It's not that people are crazy, but this thing really contains too many elements that the general public likes to see.

A scam in which unsung heroes, drug dealers, government departments, politicians, and the media collude to do good...... It's a real-life version of a house of cards.

Inside CNN, everyone was in high spirits.

"Great! Ratings are two percentage points higher than FOX! That means almost all of the American TV audience was hooked on us this morning!"

You don't know how my ex-husband at FOX mocked me, I must taunt back!"

"The boss just had a meeting and said, our news gathering department will double the bonus this month! Don't be in a hurry to be happy, the boss also said that if we can suppress FOX for a week in a row, we will directly double the annual award!"

"Long live the boss! But then again, we really have to thank the informant who contributed to us and the unsung hero in the video. If I knew their names, I would have set up a tablet for them in accordance with the customs of my hometown!"

"Sato, don't talk too much. What if it's Wang Yong, who you hate the most?

The guy named Sato snorted coldly: "How can it be that bastard Wang Yong? He hasn't wiped off his own shit, where can he care about the lives of the people of other countries." Besides, he doesn't have this kind of awareness!"

At this moment, Wang Yong, who was sitting in the hotel watching the excitement, couldn't help but sneeze: "Which bastard scolded me?"
