Chapter 0843 - Together Together
CNN's headquarters in the city of Atlanta is a large building built in the seventies called the omni complex. The building houses CNN's press center and studios, as well as a hotel and a large atrium food court.
CNN's global news coverage is available on a large screen in the atrium, and visitors can pay to visit live performances on multiple channels, see how CNN's elite work their daily work manipulates media opinion, and by the way, spend money on souvenirs.
While CNN has always been in the spotlight, this time it's different. New York's bombers openly challenged the police to make CNN's headquarters in Atlanta enjoy a 'flying' taste.
Unlike the New York Times's sudden encounter, the offender gave a day's notice and publicized it through the mouth of the New York Police Department's chief.
This is nothing short of a public execution, and it is disturbing.
Given the bleak situation of The New York Times, CNN does not dare to take it lightly. If a deranged criminal really comes to do something, it will be a ruined reputation for many years.
After all, no one wants to have anything to do with 'Xiang'.
The New York Times executives were relieved to find that the media's attention had shifted slightly. The provocative letter was actually made public by the police chief, and it seemed to be a good trick.
Now the media in the United States has temporarily abandoned the "New York Times" and begun to pay attention to whether CNN will also have a wonderful moment of "Xiangbang". This is the face of the US imperialists, and it will be too embarrassing once it is damaged.
After the New York police reception on the afternoon of the 24th, reporters from all over the United States immediately took a plane and ran towards Atlanta. They set up machines outside CNN headquarters, targeted people coming in and out, and waited for the criminals to keep their promises.
The public opinion circle began to stir up, and the discussion of gossip spread everywhere. Business, bureaucracy, culture, and even housewives are exchanging opinions with each other.
"Is it possible to blow up CNN again after blowing up the New York Times?"
"The federal government takes it very seriously, and the FBI has stepped in to investigate. It shouldn't take long to catch the criminals, so don't worry too much. β
"As a supporter of the Republican Party, I am very happy to see that someone finally stands up for justice."
"yes, the Democratic media lied every day. I'm more than happy to see that this garbage is unlucky. Because they don't believe in God at all, toilet squirting is God's punishment for false believers. β
"No, it can't be. There will never be any more squirting. β
In the face of the encirclement and hype of its peers, CNN couldn't sit still. They immediately sent public relations personnel to hold a press conference to actively communicate with various media. For possible threats, the publicists scoffed and categorically denied it.
"We did get a reminder from the NYPD and coordinated with the Atlanta police. It's safe to say that no criminal can go to CNN to wreak havoc.
The headquarters building has the best security measures in place, and there is round-the-clock surveillance. Upon receipt of the information, we immediately inspected all the sewerage systems and found no explosive devices.
We have reason to suspect that this is just a hoax letter, and that it may not even have been sent by a real criminal. Maybe it's just a fake by some guy who wants to be famous. You don't need to be too nervous, you can relax. β
CNN's attitude is arrogant, to the effect that 'I get it, but I'm well-informed and prepared.' The criminals don't scare me, it's not a big deal. β
The media who are ready to watch the excitement are very interested in this, and everyone comes by plane to see the excitement. CNN's nonchalant attitude is to be expected, but it's too tedious.
The New York Times felt that it couldn't make CNN feel good until it got rid of its β people make money by lying to scammers. Why am I unlucky this time, but you're okay.
No, you want to and everyone together!
The New York Times may have been temporarily suspended, but it has retained strong connections and propaganda capabilities.
On the afternoon of the 25th, the senior management of the "Times" made a special 'goodwill' public reminder to CNN, saying that it should pay attention to the septic tank and sewage pipe of the omni building.
This 'goodwill' is not only in words, but also in the editors who have gathered their peers at a press conference to repeatedly emphasize the possibility of multiple disasters.
According to The Times, they really don't want the tragedy they have endured to befall CNN, and all the reminders are purely to prevent the disaster from happening again.
But I don't know if these reminders are for CNN or for criminals.
The criminal's letter can openly state that the blasting will be carried out on the night of the 25th. In response to the collapse of The Times, CNN's top brass roared 'fuck you' and pushed all the other board members into a shit pit and drowned.
At the moment, it was too late to say anything, and CNN's management was also a little weak, worried about whether the precautions they had taken were not enough. After all, the consequences of ruining one's reputation are too serious to bear.
As a result, the city of Atlanta's sanitation department had to come and work overtime. They sent in suction trucks and cleaners, who were asked to first clean the septic tank at the bottom of the building, and then flush the sewage pipes.
The sanitation department said that this request is a joke.
The Omni Building is a very large twelve-story building that houses a hotel, a restaurant and CNN headquarters, and tens of thousands of people visit and work in it every day.
In order to deal with the accumulated excrement of so many people, its septic tank is also extraordinarily large. It's not something that can be cleaned up in a few hours.
CNN said that no matter how much, let's suck it first and then talk about it. If you really encounter misfortune, a little less stock in the septic tank can also reduce secondary damage, isn't it?
The sanitation department felt that this was all nonsense.
The headquarters of The New York Times is eighteen stories old, which is big enough. But compared to CNN's omni building, it is simply a drop in the bucket, and there is no comparison at all.
The septic tank is generally divided into three tanks, and only the last sedimentation tank needs to be cleaned daily. It doesn't take a day or two to empty it. But CNN is willing to pay overtime, and Atlanta's sanitation workers will not give up the opportunity to make extra money.
So on the afternoon of the 25th, the building announced that it would be closed for business, and tourists would not be allowed to enter except for the staff. More than 30 suction trucks arrived outside the building, intending to empty the septic tank as much as possible before darkβthough this was completely impossible.
To suction manure, it is necessary to open the manhole cover of the sewage pipe and put the hose of the high-horsepower manure pumping machine into it. Theoretically, this thing is actually equivalent to a water pump, except that it doesn't pump water.
Seeing that CNN was not really calm, it was only when reporters from various media gathered outside CNN's headquarters that they were more excited. It's too boring just to watch fecal suction, but there's nothing to interview on the spot.
It gets dark soon, and Atlanta is in the southern part of the US, but the winter is still quite cold.
Reporters sat in front of their cars, eating hamburgers and fries, discussing whether there would be big news tonight. After a long time, they miss the heating and bedding very much.
"Is the provocation letter fake?"
"CNN's headquarters is too big, and the security measures are very good, and the defense is very tight. There is no way that the criminals will succeed again. β
"We're here for nothing, there's no news here. I bet you'll all have to write a manuscript tomorrow morning describing your embarrassment tonight. β
"Why don't we stay in CNN headquarters, or we're going to stay up so stupidly in the dark? It's stupid. β
"Okay, let's go, let's go."
