Chapter 1039 1039 Name Contract
Fame and prestige is a very interesting thing, it is not easy for people to build their own reputation and prestige, and to reach a certain height is full of difficulties and dangers; but to destroy reputation and prestige is a One easy thing, one scandal can ruin a lifetime of effort.
Bill Clinton, one of the most charismatic presidents in U.S. history, exploded in shocking sex just before the 1996 election. Scandal, Monica - Lewinsky (Monica. Lewinsky's name resounded throughout the United States overnight, became the history of the Clinton administration's most dishonorable, but the most vital page. This made Clinton the second president in American history to be impeached.
Even after more than a decade, when people mention Clinton, they can't help but make fun of him as a household name this time. flow. rhyme. thing.
This is reputation and prestige, like a sand castle, it took countless efforts to build, but it only needs one high tide, and it can be destroyed in one fell swoop.
But from another point of view, when a person's reputation and prestige have accumulated to a certain height, it is not so easy to complete the attack, because behind the reputation and prestige, there is a huge network of contacts - and also a network of interests , the entire interest alliance will make every effort to protect this "sand castle" in order to safeguard each other's common interests.
The attack planned by Anthony Bond Stewart not only wanted the sand castle of Hugo to be brilliant, but also wanted to overthrow the sand castle in one fell swoop. The so-called Adolf Hitler remarks actually wanted to cut off Hugo and the Jewish people. The linkages between groups make their interests inherently conflict, thus triggering a chain effect.
But Anthony overlooked one point: his speculation, his reports, and his public opinion were just castles in the air, without real evidence; but the bond between Hugo and the Jews was not only friendship and human affection, but also Hugo's reputation. , the huge interests represented behind the prestige. No one will forget that Jews are the best businessmen in the world.
Therefore, Anthony's scheme not only did not lead to the internal division of Hugo and the Jewish community, but aroused the anger of the Jews, because in their view, Anthony was cutting off their wealth and insulting their IQ and personality. : Tracy Jacobs has played a similar trick once before.
Thus, this detonated a violent counterattack from the Jewish community. The launch of the "New York Times" was only the first step. Soon after, the "Wall Street Journal" and "Washington Post" launched a strong counterattack. In addition, NBC TV and Fox TV also began to focus on this matter. The core of the report is this: when reporters hold the banner of "freedom of speech" but become tools for personal gain, this is not only a sign of the degeneration of reporters, but also the beginning of the collapse of the entire news industry.
Obviously, these media did not have any arguments at all, and regarded the attacks launched by the National Enquirer and the New York Post as non-existent, and even Hugo's strong resistance to reporters was regarded as a manifestation of self-defense. Then they skipped this step and went straight to the crux of the matter, causing people's focus to be subtly shifted in the first place.
This is how public opinion is used. From a certain point of view, Yunyun Dazhong is an audience group at the mercy of the media and public opinion, especially in the early 1990s when the Internet had not yet developed, because the public sources of information were the uncrowned kings, and only them .
However, the groups headed by the "New York Post" and "National Enquirer" will definitely not let it go. This is a situation they have worked hard to manage, and it is also the most embarrassing moment for Hugo in the past year. The entire public opinion storm can almost be said to be a match for opponents , Two points in the world, even if the competitors are extremely strong, especially with the support of Jewish groups, they will never give up easily.
Because they all know clearly that if they give up at this time, maybe they will face an absolute disadvantage for a long time to come. This is a war with no way out.
Supporting Hugo, opposing Hugo, praising Hugo, criticizing Hugo, clarifying Hugo, smearing Hugo... All of a sudden, the news is flying all over the sky, and you will sing and I will appear, especially the group headed by the "New York Post" has grasped it. Facing the honest words of the reporters, Hugo actually created a strong momentum. He believed that Hugo was arrogant and short-tempered, and he did not have any fatigue in a short period of time.
In such a stalemate, "US Weekly" debuted.
As we all know, "US Weekly" is a comprehensive magazine, and it is mainly based on entertainment gossip. The market they occupy is not the largest. There is "Entertainment Weekly" before and "Vanity Fair", especially due to the miscellaneous positioning, making Their competitiveness has always lacked a fatal blow, and it can only be a situation where they cannot be beaten.
In this storm of public opinion, "U.S. Weekly" can only be regarded as a middle force, and its role does not even need to be published in supermarket tabloids such as "National Enquirer", so they have been silent all the time, so that many people feel Ignore this magazine - this is the most solid supporter of the Hugo support group, even more than the "Los Angeles Times" loyal, so that people ridiculed that this is Hugo's dog legs.
This time, "US Weekly" bought a series of photos for a high price of $60,000, and also wrote an article, which changed the development trend of this public opinion storm in an instant.
A reporter named Dawes-Carter sold this group of photos to Us Weekly. One was a photo of Anthony pointing at Adam and scolding him, but Adam was standing on the steps with a forbearance; Zhang is Anthony falling to the ground, Adam is at least five paces away from Anthony, without any contact; one is Adam shooting the shotgun at the sky, Anthony is still lying on the ground; Comparison photos of water stains on the beach.
This set of four photos, combined with Dawes's first-person interpretation, completely restores the situation of the day, and at the same time shows the origin of the matter completely and completely in front of people.
Dawes explained what he saw that day after he arrived at the scene. He honestly stated that he did not know what happened between Anthony and Adam before, but he clearly saw that Anthony was constantly provoking Adam, and it was obvious that Anthony was there. Deliberately angering Adam. Although Adam's counterattack was ruthless and sharp, in fact it did not endanger Anthony's life at all.
Finally, at the end of this report, Dawes wrote, "There is no doubt that Anthony once again copied the routine of the 1993 Golden Globes incident, trying to provoke the other party, lure and lure the other party to make news breaking points. It's just that if this method is used on an ordinary person, whether it is illegal or not, everyone must have a ruler in their hearts.
When I tried to communicate with Hugo's father before I left, he obviously didn't want to believe the reporter. He only said one sentence to me, 'He is my son, the only son'. Looking at the back of the man leaving, I stood there and couldn't say a word. "
The overall feeling of Dawes's report is very objective. It does not deliberately condemn Anthony, nor does it deliberately defend Adam, nor does it write some inflammatory statements. However, after reading the whole article, two facts can be clearly felt: one is that the reporters did nothing to dig out news breaking points; the other is that the interaction between Hugo and Adam is clearly presented.
After the "US Weekly" report was published, it caused a sensation in an instant.
The story of Dawes explained the origin of the matter in detail, and made people understand that all this was a deliberate provocation by Anthony, and that a person would fight back, so the so-called "domestic violence" speculation would no longer hold. You know, Western men can Not a submissive sissy. Extending from this, all recent speculations by the New York Post about Hugo's private life and career development have lost their theoretical basis. In addition, there is no factual evidence, and all the rumors are broken in an instant.
At the same time, Hugo's strength and arrogance in the face of the reporters, and Adam's heart of defending his son's boxing, complement each other. Not only let people see the reason for Adam to fight back hard when facing reporters, but also let people feel Hugo's fearless true feelings when facing reporters.
In fact, the story is convincing. Because in the past two years, Hugo's image to the public has always been like this, countless details in Dawes's story silently fit with Hugo's image, and Hugo faced reporters' emotions out of control. Also found a reason.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole form was reversed.
Reading the reports of "US Weekly" together with the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times", it is easy for people to find a fact: the news media is no longer the uncrowned king in their impression, they are for news breaking point, for Commercial interests can be used without compromise, and even the rights and responsibilities of freedom of speech and public opinion supervision can be exploited. As the New York Times said, this is the beginning of collapse.
If it rises to a higher level, people can’t help but recall the Rodney King incident and the Michael Jackson incident. It is precisely because the news media is driven by interests that this has led to a series of unjust cases. Now, Hugo has become a media interest again. the victim.
As a result, the entire public opinion immediately began to lose control, and all social experts joined in one after another, expressing concern about the development of the news industry, and the media led by the "New York Post" and "National Enquirer" became the object of condemnation. This is the representative of the fallen who have lost the soul of freedom of the press.
The wave of public opinion that was still evenly matched has changed in an instant. The New York Post and the National Enquirer seem to be facing another disaster, and the dangers of a year ago are still vivid in my mind. Everything is like reincarnation.
In this storm, Dawes Carter appeared in front of Hugo: he has submitted his vote, and now is an important moment for him to gain Hugo's trust. Can he succeed?
