Chapter 123: Bait
"Earl Rush? Your BT network's handpicked black? Pete-Pen asked.
He knew some of Tommy's personnel layout, so he immediately thought of the black lawyer who was now gathering the support of low-level blacks in Los Angeles.
Tommy shook his head dryly: "No, Earl is my good friend, I won't ruin his great future at this moment, I have higher expectations for him." ”
"So, Jeff LaVine?" Pete threw out another name, although Tommy went on vacation, but his vacation was not simple, he knew what Tommy was planning, since Earl Rush was not yet thrown out, then it felt that Tommy could only throw out the only thing left was Miami, the fool who believed in the horizon.
"It's not that hard to guess, right? Jeff is not suitable for that position, since he took out the solid ball at the inauguration, he has been questioned every day for having a brain problem, and people keep asking him to do an IQ test, that child, for him, the pain, I think he should be rescued from the pain, I asked David to prepare him for a better job, the head of the Miami Police Department Volunteer Service Team, if he wants, he can take a veteran every day to help the police catch illegal Cubans, but it's not him, he just takes the opportunity to retire by the way, I need a real Democratic politician who can't help but stand up and engage him, and I just hope that two staunch Democrats will understand my struggles. Tommy didn't deny it this time, but he explained it anyway, saying that he needed a real politician to be a victim:
"Bill and Al both said they would try to help me pick the stupid guy and choose whichever one jumped out of the house when the time came, and as for Jeff, I was not included in the selection, after all, if he run, no one can beat him, and his position has been sold to the ex-wife of Mr. David Kennedy, the cousin-in-law of His Excellency Shriver, in exchange for Martin's salary as an employee in Rhona's office of the House of Representatives, and at the same time, Bill Lynch, the black genius who paid for Martin's campaign company, will serve as Rhona's chief of staff."
Shriver tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, ignoring the conversation between the two, keeping his eyes on the muted TV screen until Tommy and Pete finished talking, he looked at Tommy and spoke slowly: "See how the United States teaches Japan a lesson, Tommy?" This approach is never outdated. ”
"I think so too, so my VOX can be said to have been founded for Murdoch, Your Excellency, the only job of several VOX reporter stations in the UK since they were established was for him." Tommy looked at Shriver and nodded earnestly, "I'm ready." ”
Shriver observed Tommy's expression, finally nodded, spread his hand and smiled at Pete Binn, "Then what are we going to sit here and talk about, let the young people go and give it a go, Pete, and take me to taste your treasures at your private winery in Los Angeles before I go back to New York." ”
After getting the approval of the two old men, BT TV Network and VOX News Network began to increase the broadcast of negative programs in Japan, and changed from the country to publicize what terrorist activities the Japanese Red Army had done in the world, and changed public opinion from China and Japan to negative reports on international communism, and then publicized the spiritual brainwashing of communism and the pervasiveness of the Soviet KGB. Tommy just had to flip those documentaries out and play them.
After talking about the brainwashing and infiltration of communism in the West, Tommy's VOX news network broadcast a talk show, mainly to let the interviewees tell about the experience of witnessing the pervasiveness of communism in Western countries, in the program, Robert Hillman, a tenured professor of political science at Worcester College, Oxford University, said that the penetration and brainwashing of communism in British campuses was very, very serious, and he still remembered a student named Rupert Murdoch, Busts of Stalin and Lenin were placed on desks in the dormitory, and he attacked the British political system at school debates, earning the academy the nickname Rupert the Red Devil.
Although there is no bust of Stalin, a bust of Lenin can be clearly seen on the desk in the corner.
The CBS, ABC, NBC and Gartner's CNN almost immediately smelled the blood, arranging for its own news commentary program to distribute commentary based on interviews with people that were often less than three minutes, and some commentators joked that if Murdoch was a communist, then it would be time for another McCarthyist purge in the United States.
Of course, Murdoch's response was also very fast, and Morris Schoenfeld, the head of the VOX television network, called Tommy the day after the show aired, saying that someone from News Corp.'s public relations department had called him, hoping that Murdoch would sit down and talk together when he returned from the UK.
Tommy said with a smile: "The Murdoch Group has accumulated $7 billion in financial debt because of the large-scale leveraged buyout in recent years, a large part of which has not been converted into long-term short-term debt. ”
"What reason do you want me to humiliate them?" Schoenfeld is Tommy's angel investor Benjamin Rosen who came forward to help the president hired by VOX, a German-Jew, who previously founded the American Independent Television News Association, through which he provides aggregated news coverage to all independent television stations in the United States, and the reason why Wolf-Tucker, who built VOX, was able to give way without complaint, in addition to Tommy's promise to let him be the head of the financial news network, the Jewish guy's connections and abilities are also very important.
Tommy smiled evilly and said: "Just find a reason, for example, I can't see Australian countrymen, I don't know why, as soon as I see Australian countrymen, I feel uncomfortable underneath, and I always feel that there is a possibility of being infected with Mei*." ”
Hanging up the phone, Tommy dialed Susan's number: "The mixed-race black girl who asked Ling to file a lawsuit before, should I lose the first round because of lack of evidence?" ”
"Yes." Susan said: "The loss was very complete, and in order to ensure that the loss was lost, many witnesses and exhibits were not released at the suggestion of Delia. ”
Tommy said with satisfaction: "Very good, let that black girl acting best online, because next is the highlight of her life, I want everyone to know that there is a black American star who was raped by an Australian film company executive, but he had no choice but to lose the lawsuit, and the follow-up Delia and your appeal with her will be tracked and reported throughout the process." ”
In the following days, the VOX television network broadcast the documentary "Thirteen Months Later" produced by VOX UK, which interviewed and filmed the typical representatives of the 6,000 printing union members who lost their jobs after the failed strike in Wupin England in 1986, and reconstructed their tragic experience in 1986.
The general content of the documentary is that Murdoch hopes to build a new printing factory in Wupping, London, to introduce more advanced computer-based printing technology to his "Sun" and "News of the World" to improve printing efficiency, but once the new factory is completed, the previous traditional printing workers will be laid off on a large scale, roughly about 6,000 people need to be laid off, so before the construction of the new factory is completed, the most important thing is not to leak the news, so as to avoid the printing union from finding trouble after knowing in advance and blocking the construction of the new factory.
So Murdoch came up with a great idea, and he reached out to the printing union, saying that the company was going to start a new newspaper called the London Post, which was very promising, and that he would build a new printing factory in Wupping, which would create a lot of printing jobs.
The British printing trade union may have been too brilliant because of its achievements for more than 100 years, or it may have been bribed by Murdoch in advance, in short, it did not realize that some capitalists dared to blatantly deceive themselves, so they believed it, and as a result, until the new factory was completed and put into production, the workers did not get the opportunity to work, only got a cruel truth, that is, there was no new newspaper promised by Murdoch, the London Post, you were deceived.
The day after the completion of the Wopping printing factory, the "Sun" moved its headquarters, and on the third day, Murdoch announced mass layoffs, and the printing union immediately began to strike and demonstrate, but they did not understand that times have changed, and now it is the computer age, and the workers think that if they strike, the newspaper will not be sold on time.
Moreover, when the striking workers desperately tried to block the newspaper distribution trucks from leaving the factory with a human wall, Murdoch's political ally in Britain Margaret Thatcher mobilized most of the police and army in London to drive away the striking workers, and even bloodshed, and all this, there was almost no chance of newspapers in Britain, because almost all the channels of voice had been controlled by Murdoch, and in the end, the printing union could only announce in humiliation that the strike that had lasted for thirteen months had completely failed, Six thousand printing workers finally accepted the cruel fate of being laid off.
If the major TV networks and newspapers used a playful tone when commenting on Murdoch's belief in communism when he was in college, then after the broadcast of this documentary filmed by the VOX television network during his visit to the United Kingdom at any cost, the news comments immediately became serious, because this is a serious question that people can't help but think, since Murdoch, an Australian, may deceive the British trade unions, why is it impossible to deceive the American trade unions?
What's even more terrifying is that the documentary uses real data to tell the audience that during the thirteen months of the Wapping strike in the UK, there were almost only a handful of reports on the strike in various British newspapers, and BBC News is likely to be instructed by some big people to minimize relevant reports, and the video materials of the strike scene are even less pitiful, which is obviously Murdoch's energy, he controls the British media, and can make the British media learn when to shut up, then, if this Australian develops and grows in the United States, Will he make the American media learn to shut up as well?
A series of reports from VOX News Network made even the unresponsive people realize that Tommy was looking for trouble with Murdoch, but just when everyone thought that Tommy would throw more fierce material, suddenly the style of the picture changed, and BT TV began to broadcast the news that black Hollywood actress Tricia O'Neal sued Twentieth Century Fox executives against her XQ, and finally lost the case due to lack of evidence.
To be honest, even black viewers are a little dazed when they hear the name of this actress, of course, Tommy can understand everyone's confusion, after all, this actress has no masterpieces, just with her model body and the exaggerated expression exercised in Broadway revues, she has been acting as an atmosphere group actor with few scenes in various TV episodes and movies.
But this is already the best option Susan can find, after all, this woman has really been hurt by the people at Twentieth Century Fox Films, and she is willing to see Susan promise her a chance to make a long-term contract with BT TV network to make a series before she is willing to stand up and expose that past.
Seeing Tommy suddenly change from biting News Corp to attacking Twentieth Century Fox Films, CNN's old Turner couldn't help but call and ask if Tommy was on drugs to do such a stupid thing.
Because although Twentieth Century Fox is Murdoch's industry, it is not a concept at all compared to News Corporation, even if Tommy let the woman bite hard, and even proved to have suffered harm in the end, the result is nothing more than that Fox executive was fired, personally bearing the consequences, and it will not hurt Murdoch and News Corporation, he hopes that Tommy will come to his senses quickly and focus on attacking Murdoch, and he is willing to let CNN broadcast Tommy's documentary for Murdoch 24 hours a day.
Tommy ignored Turner's sincere advice, and as the notable harassment case came to light, female lawyer Delia Keys announced pro bono legal aid to Trisia O'Neal, and Hillary Clinton, a prominent female lawyer in the United States, also called on women to stand up and expose this behavior.
One, two, three, with the help of the TV network, Susan's female artists also began to break the silence and bravely tell the painful experience in front of the camera in exchange for the opportunity to work in Hollywood, but they did not blame other Hollywood companies, but simply publicized the experience of being harassed or hinted at by Fox executives to expand the influence of this lost case.
Just when Turner Sr. had been thinking that Tommy had played a good hand of cards into a poop, and had succeeded in getting the American public to shift their attention from Murdoch to Hollywood gossip news and help Murdoch take the initiative to solve the trouble, Tommy made another move, this time, and his two television networks broadcast some video material against Murdoch and Fox Film Company to domestic and foreign audiences who had already received a lot of negative communist propaganda, with content from Chinese television and Chinese newspaper news.
If summed up in one sentence, it is that Murdoch has visited China before, and received a high-level reception, during the visit, Murdoch donated hundreds of Fox Film Company classic movie rights to Chinese television free of charge, according to the current American TV station wants to buy the classic movie broadcast license price, the total value of these classic movie licenses is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.
The host of the program commented in front of the camera: "Americans want to watch the classic movie "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", they need to pay Murdoch, but thousands of miles away, the Chinese who regard the United States as an enemy can enjoy his generosity for free, Mr. Murdoch can certainly support communism, that is his freedom, the problem is, he can't give American things to our enemies for free, at least before he donates, he should ask the director, actors, etc. staff, Do they want to see their work sent to those places, this is not Australia, this is not England, this is America, Mr. Murdoch. ”
And the old Turner, who has been looking for an opportunity to beat Murdoch, simply sat in front of the CNN camera as a commentator after getting this fierce news, with an uncontrollable schadenfreude smile on his face:
"The Australian named Rupert Murdoch is definitely a communist, he gave the classic American movie to China for free, the whole world knows that the United States is now on the same page with China, and the situation is so serious that the third world war may break out at any time, and what Murdoch is doing now is like giving Marilyn Monroe's art photos to the other side's soldiers for free before the war to enjoy and boost their morale!"
"And when he gave away those films, did he pay those film practitioners extra? No! So the production process of this Australian bastard's film company is* our beautiful actresses in the United States, use their pretty faces to auction movies to make American money, and finally give the work to communist countries for free, showing off to the people of those countries, how he humiliates our actresses and earns our money! Fuck you, Rupert the Red Devil! Do you think that America is your home Australia, and you can be lawless? Go back to the USSR, you damn KGB spy! ”
Looking at the vulgar words of old Turner in the CNN news commentary on TV, Tommy comfortably adjusted his sitting position: "After the bait is down, it's time for the fish to take the bait." ”
