Chapter 443 Where is the conscience?
Reject directly!

This rubbish is a waste of time!
"If you want to act in a work that reveals the truth, I have another one here." Su Yao had long known that Ding Cheng would not accept it, so she smiled and took out another script.

"Washington post?"

Ding Cheng was taken aback, is this also an action movie?

When I opened the script, I was even more surprised: "The director is Spielberg."

"The heroine is Meryl Streep!" Su Yao smiled and said, "Isn't she awesome?"

Ding Cheng nodded, studied the script carefully, and reproduced the famous leak of the Pentagon Papers.A Department of Defense official exposed the confidential documents of the US government's involvement in the Vietnam War through the "New York Times", "Washington Post" and other media.

It marked the beginning of the discredit of the federal government led by Nixon, and the ensuing Watergate incident directly led to the downfall of the Nixon administration.

The protagonists are editor Ben Bradley and publisher Kay Graham who played a key role.

"Director Lao Pi's own company invests, and Fox takes a stake. It should be a semi-biographical work."

Su Yao analyzed: "Even if the box office is famous, the box office will not be high, let alone in China, so..."

Ding Cheng understands what Yao Zai means. Let alone the box office, he is not very competitive for the protagonist. After all...

But it feels very interesting, because the behavior of a certain domestic media reporter eating human blood steamed buns just aroused the anger of netizens.

Ten years ago, at the age of 10, she sent her whole family to prison for sexual assault and other charges, and then disappeared...

The news quickly became popular on the Internet, with millions of views.From the title to the content, the readers are hinted between the lines: Tang Lanlan framed the whole family.

Ding Cheng paid attention to the whole process. Today, looking back at the Washington Post script in his hand, he finally understands what a real media person is!
According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the Vietnam War was the most unpopular war in the history of the United States. Social anti-Vietnam War actions have been developing and growing, and anti-war demonstrations broke out in major cities.

In 1965, the Secretary of Defense knew that the United States could not win the Vietnam War, but the President chose to deceive Congress and the people.

70% of the reason is to avoid the shame of the US's defeat. They knew they couldn't win, and they sent soldiers to die.But the problem is that both the Congress and the people are kept in the dark!

Ellsberg was originally a Pentagon employee, serving as a special assistant to the assistant secretary of defense.After a field trip to Vietnam, his views on the war completely changed.

Started to make anti-war remarks and persuade anti-war members of Congress to challenge the Nixon administration to end the Vietnam War as soon as possible.But they suffered setbacks one after another because it was impossible for these congressmen to gamble their political futures.

After several attempts to do so in a relatively modest manner, they failed and so had to be radical.So leaked state secrets to the New York Times.

As a result, people really reported it.

Although it is only a part of thousands of pages of research reports, the complete report will enumerate how the White House lied about the Vietnam War in the past 30 years. From Truman to Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon all lied and seriously misled the country.

The whole country was shocked, and even a federal judge came forward to prohibit the New York Times from publishing confidential documents related to the Vietnam War. This was the first time in the history of the United States that a court prohibited a newspaper from publishing.

The "Washington Post" continued to shoulder this arduous task. Editor-in-chief Ben Bradley sent his subordinate Ben Bagdick to find Ellsberg, see the entire document, and report back to the agency.

Legal counsel said publishing the document was a felony because a federal judge said publishing it would destroy the United States.

His response: America will be ruined if it is not published!

Colleagues also persuaded us with good words: if we reveal the secrets of the government for many years, we will be sentenced, and the "Washington Post" will cease to exist.

He retorted: If we lived in a world where governments decide what we publish, The Washington Post would long ago cease to exist.

The only way to defend publishing rights is to publish itself!

This group of conscientious media people published all the documents at the risk of being blocked, the newspaper closed, sentenced, and even their lives.

Just when everyone thought he would be sentenced, he won the case with a vote of 6:3 and was acquitted.

Because the court believed that instead of treason, these people saved the lives of countless soldiers, thousands of families, and a country!
The Washington Post is willing to risk everything to become an enemy of the country for the sake of its conscience.

However, a domestic reporter pushed a girl into the dark abyss again for the attention of bloggers...

这一切源于08年10月3日，年仅14岁的汤兰兰向警方写一封举报信，称其从7岁开始被父亲、爷爷、叔叔、姑父、老师、村主任、乡邻等十余人侵犯。

Within three days, 16 people in the village were arrested and all sentenced.

The judiciary spent four years investigating and collecting evidence and arresting the suspect. The whole case has been concluded, and Tang Lanlan finally started a new life.

However, a certain reporter neither interviewed the prisoner, did he commit a crime?Didn't investigate whether the police had extracted a confession?Let alone doubt whether the court has bribed?

Instead, blame the least likely person - the victim.

He relied on his own imagination to convict Tang Lanlan privately, causing secondary harm to the victim.

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

The investigation results of the police and the court for a full four years are not as rigorous as an article you wrote casually?
As a reporter, just because it feels unreasonable, you keep saying that the fact that someone was harmed for seven years is false?

From Ding Cheng's point of view, they are always shouting that they don't believe in rumors and don't spread rumors, but in fact, ordinary netizens don't know which are rumors and which are not.

What can really be done is not the public netizens, but the media people.

If they tell lies, there will be more rumors; if they tell the truth, there will be fewer rumors.

What journalists and public figures say can affect the minds of countless people.

The erroneous comments made by netizens and the erroneous reports by the media all stem from that piece of news, which is the root of all evil.

The barriers to entry for media professionals are too low now. If you fabricate a piece of news casually, others may follow suit and write a similar one. What's even more frightening is that fake news will gradually be taken seriously by people after it is repeated over and over again.

On January 16, 1, a number of media released fake news about a magnitude 4 earthquake in Jiujiang;
On March 3th, the false news spread all over the country that talented women from Peking University returned to their hometowns to start businesses and gave up white-collar workers to choose express delivery;

On October 10th, the company’s Weibo and Moments were blown up every morning. The female employees queued up every morning, and the boss kissed the posts one by one. It was also confirmed that it was not true...

No matter how small a mistake is, multiplied by 13 billion is a big mistake; no matter how small a lie is, multiplied by 13 billion is a big lie.

It takes four years for judicial officers to investigate and collect evidence and capture the suspect. It takes 4 years for Tang Lanlan to start a new life, but it only takes a moment to destroy it all.

Ellsberg's approach was to risk his life to conduct on-site inspections on the battlefield and go through all kinds of hardships to obtain state secret documents. Only then did he dare to call on everyone to oppose the war.

Where is your conscience?
