Chapter of the Sacrifice (3)

The interview was rejected, an expected development.

When Editor-in-Chief Luo arranged this task, I roughly guessed that this would be the result.

I also guessed that there was a deeper motivation behind his assignment.

Obviously, after a week, the leader who transferred me to the position had realized that he had been fooled. But now that things have come to this point, he naturally could not revoke the transfer order and transfer me back to mailro; furthermore, he was not convenient for him to take revenge on me, because it might lead to a fight between me and him.

So he thought of this method: secretly instruct my immediate boss to arrange an impossible interview for me, and then deport me from this department again on the grounds that I "can't even do such a simple thing."

Of course, after the matter is completed, the Luo surnamed will not admit that he was asked to wear small shoes on me on purpose, and the leader will not admit that he had done such a small move behind his back. I have no evidence and will only suffer this loss in the end.

That's how they planned...

However, I'm not that easy to deal with either.

Without an interview, it does not mean that you cannot write a report; without knowing the details, it does not mean that you cannot publish news.

Do you think the media really know what they reported? Do you think they really know the person or thing they reported? Do you think they really know, or care about the truth?

I am not denying everyone in this industry. I just want to tell you that there are only a very small number of people who really want to use their own reports to change some things. They are willing to spend time, energy, and even risk jeopardizing themselves to dig out the truth and details... But even among this group of people, there are many people who have used the wrong efforts and went wrong.

And most people don’t care about the truth, justice, honesty...

They either treat media people as a simple job, or as a tool to realize their self-worth or win fame and fortune; perhaps they also cared about the above things when they were young, but over time, they changed.

Under the pressure of work, they no longer understand and verify the information they want to report in detail; they began to abuse their voice and felt that it was irrelevant; in order to write something more eye-catching in the environment of other people's requests or competition, they began to lie, increasingly deviate from their original intentions when entering the industry.

Editor-in-chief Luo is also such a person.

I've read the articles he wrote in the past, and he naturally had that passionate period, but his period was very short and it ended when he went to the New York Herald for internship.

What he wrote later was full of lies and prejudice; what overflowed between his gorgeous words was not only praise, but also flattering nonsense, but also harsh words that showed off his butt for his leader like a mad dog.

His articles are not written for passers-by, nor for himself, but for those who he needs to please.

But I have to admit that when I wrote these things that were made out of nothing and out of context, his skills were outstanding, and this... was exactly what I needed right now.

For example, when Editor Luo received a task to criticize the game industry, he would write that he interviewed "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-

Do these "someone" exist? No one can verify it at all. Just like you can write a so-called "interview" now, saying that you met a enthusiastic crowd by a river, and then use the mouth of "him" to comment on the river.

Even if there are indeed some "someone" that they can be distorted when interviewing; as a reporter, you can only report the parts you are willing to intercept, arrange them according to your own wishes, and finally output the opinions you want to output.

This kind of thing is also the norm in the industry... Of course, most passers-by who don’t know the content of the report will easily believe and be influenced by it.

It is possible to find out how little the reporter is about what he reports and how many fallacies there are in the content written are only those in the relevant fields or parties, and these people are always just a small part.

I can use these, too.

Although I did not interview the couple, I could say that I interviewed a neighbor who was unwilling to reveal my identity, or "informed person", and then wrote down what I wanted to say through the mouth of "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So-So

My words can be more gorgeous than Editor Luo, and my lies can be more realistic than him. It can be called a beautiful article, and it is fake and true.

Two days later, I handed in the manuscript.

I knew he read it immediately after sending the email, but he called me into the office almost noon; I knew he was reporting to someone, but I didn't need to expose him.

My report left him with nothing to say, and he couldn't go to Tianjin to verify anything in person. In fact... even if he went there, he couldn't confirm anything.

However, he still found a few far-fetched reasons to "criticize" me, and finally said, "Forget it this time, I will not pass this report to me next time."

ridiculous.

I watched his performance, nodded respectfully to pretend to be my grandson, and left with a result that satisfies me.

A few days later, my report was officially released to the public, with both paper media and the Internet; although the company I work in is not a mainstream first-line media, overall sales are not bad and traffic is not low.

I portrayed the couple as victims of online violence, but did not turn "netizens" into the main villain, but wrote them as accomplices, and added the prefix "some of them are partial to listen and believe, and are rhythmically led."

I am also a smart person. It is a big taboo to openly open map cannons. Even if you think nine out of ten people are idiots, you cannot speak it publicly, let alone speak this to a group with a large base.

The villain in my report is a writer named Chen. She was one of the main parties to the "anal-free baby incident" incident that year. Her series of actions directly caused a baby who was born to suffer from illness to bear great pain that he should not have to bear before his death, and made the children's parents suffer from the destruction of online violence.

But she had no regrets about it, never; she used one lie after another to excuse her stupidity and viciousness, and refused to admit her foolish behavior that violated morality and the law; in the face of the subsequent doubts, she had always been justified.

Over the years, she has worked hard to shape herself into a feminist, charitable leader, and has lived a very comfortable life by collecting IQ taxes from some specific groups.

She ate the blood buns of people from the vulnerable groups under the banner of charity, acted like a fighter of justice, and was engaged in a business similar to population trading.

How appropriate and pleasing to let such a person be the villain of my report.

The pen in my hand of Li Xiaofan is used to nail such a person to the pillar of shame.

After all... Actually, I don't care about the truth.

Too many people have paid a heavy price for the truth, but have not received any reward and have not awakened the conscience of many people.

In the game of public opinion, winning is the first priority. If the "truth" is blocking your purpose, then you should throw it away and stomp it down.

At the end of the game, if you can make more people believe in you and stand on your side, you are the winner; if you can make your voice over the voice of the opponent, you are the winner; if you can make others pay more, worse than you, and even lose all your life, you are the winner.

Only those who win are qualified to talk about justice.

Even if you are hated and despised by some people after victory, you will be regarded as a thorn in your eyes, even if your essence is evil, wrong, absurd...it doesn't matter.

Win and achieve your goal, it's enough.

To me, despicable justice is just as justice.

…………

A day later, my report began to ferment on the Internet.

To me, using words to arouse hatred from others is like taking a picture of something.

However, the impact is not very big. After all, this is just a re-introduction of old news. You can see nothing about the philanthropist online by searching it online, but not many people are concerned about it.

So, I went to the next step.

I started posting chat records where I was alerted by lawyer letters and various threats on the social media account that I had just passed the certification, which was marked as "Investigational Reporter". Of course, screenshots of all chat records were forged by me.

This kind of thing is true or false, and it is not important to "seize the initiative"; as long as you take the initiative, you can take preconceived ideas, which is why it is easy to spread rumors, and it is difficult to refute rumors.

A screenshot of a carefully designed false chat record can deceive more than 80% of the onlookers within 24 hours. No matter who comes out to refute the rumors after 24 hours, 30% of people will continue to choose to believe it, because they may have stood in the team in the first 24 hours and scolded some people who oppose them for a long time. At this time, they will insist on their opinions simply for the sake of face. Furthermore, if the credibility of the rumor-debunking party is not strong enough, or the parties themselves are refuting the rumors themselves, then many people will think that such rumor-debunking without evidence is purely a quibble.

Next, I hired the Internet navy and began to spread the screenshots I made forged, and related them to my own reports, using various alarmist titles like "Young investigative reporters are threatened by their lives due to reports" to attract attention.

In this way, in less than half a day, my social account, which originally had only single-digit followers, became very popular in the blink of an eye, and tens of thousands of people followed him in just a few hours.

Another day later, after being greeted by countless people for the 18th generation of ancestors countless times, the writer surnamed Chen finally responded to the matter on social media.

It's just what I want.

At this point, my plan has basically been successful.

The next thing to do is to cross-dress, let the navy soldiers send out the "black information about myself" I provided, such as my father's death, education and other private information that is actually irrelevant, and then let the navy soldiers mess with me in the comments and attack my misfortune with vicious remarks.

This aroused anger made netizens stand on my side.

I became a "justice fighter" overnight by relying on such an old story that had nothing to do with me.

At this stage, I no longer care about the other party's reaction. Even if someone really sends me a lawyer's letter, it's nothing... It's just a civil lawsuit that can be delayed for a year or two. Even if the evidence is conclusive and I lose the case, I can only perform the economic compensation designated by the court, but I refuse to enforce claims such as apology and clarification. During this period, the benefits I have gained have actually exceeded the amount of compensation... I learned this from some people who specialize in infringement businesses. There are many cases and are of reference.

In short, the stronger the other party's reaction, the more disgusting it will bring to it and consolidate my image of not fearing power.

For me, if you win the public opinion battle, you can withdraw. Then you will pretend to be deaf and dumb, and there will be people full of righteous indignation to speak out on my behalf.

…………

After achieving my goal, I began to look for new goals.

Of course, I can't continue to maintain my popularity by relying on this report alone. After all, netizens have only one week to remember, so I have to provide the next "sacrifice".

Fortunately, people like Chen are not uncommon in this society, and most of them are still alive, so I have many choices.

When people get something, they will lose something. Since these people can live shamelessly, they should pay the corresponding price; this price may not come from the law, nor from the conscience they have long lost, but will eventually come in some form...

If despicable is my passport, I only hope that those shameless bodies will turn into steps under my feet.
Chapter completed!
