Chapter 1801: tip of the iceberg
Today's third update, please recommend, please subscribe!
Evan Bell clearly remembers that the "News of the World" wiretapping scandal broke out in 2011. The prime minister at the time was David Cameron, the youngest prime minister since 1812. The whole wiretapping scandal also had a serious impact on David Cameron, because he had always had a relationship with News Corporation, the parent group of the "News of the World". too dense. The whole incident not only directly led to the closure of the "News of the World", but also became a huge scandal in the history of British journalism, and also had a considerable impact on David Cameron's political career.
In fact, the history of the "News of the World" wiretapping can no longer be traced, but the first time it was revealed was in 2006. The reason why it became a scandal in 2001, the "Guardian" broke the news "Millie-Dowler" event" plays a vital role. Now it seems that history has quietly changed.
Evan Bell just checked the detailed information, and the development of things is indeed very different from the previous life. All indications are that the outbreak of the wiretapping scandal seems to have begun to prepare foreshadowing.
In 2006, the "News of the World" was condemned for the first time because of its involvement in the wiretapping of the mobile phone information of the British royal family Prince William and Prince Harry. In 2007, the chief reporter and editor-in-chief of "News of the World" stationed in the UK were arrested again for illegal phone calls. This time, the subjects involved were mainly British politicians, but the results remained unresolved.
In fact, neither of these two wiretapping incidents really caused an uproar, for two reasons. One is because News Corp. President Rupert Murdoch and the current British Prime Minister Gordon Brown are trying to cover up this scandal. With the power of the government, it is easy to be suppressed; the other is because of being wiretapped. The object of this is that there is no really explosive news being shaken out, and the other is public figures. As we all know, the particularity of the privacy rights of public figures is still a strange thing in law. Of course, the limited scope of involvement is also one of the important reasons for the influence of events to be controlled.
From the end of last year to March this year, five wiretapping incidents broke out successively. The victims of the incident were Jude Law, David Beckham, Sir Alex Ferguson, and the director of the London Police Department. , Members of the House of Lords. Such a dense outbreak of wiretapping incidents made people feel the dark clouds shrouded in the British news circles.
Especially at the end of February, after the new Prime Minister Gordon Brown's wiretapping incident broke out at the end of June 2007, the current Conservative Party leader David Cameron was actually involved! This can definitely be said to have caused an uproar in the UK.
In fact, Gordon Brown and David Cameron are not directly involved, it is an indirect relationship. News Corp. has been planning to buy Sky TV in the UK, as everyone knows. However, both the British House of Commons and the Labour Party, led by Gordon Brown, have expressed their opposition to the resolution. The Liberals are neutral and remain on the sidelines, while the Conservatives have expressed support.
So, when the scandal about News Corp's "News of the World" wiretapping Prime Minister Gordon Brown broke out, people discovered the Conservative Party leader David Cameron and News Corp President Ruber almost immediately. Murdoch's close relationship and David Cameron's long-standing relationship with former News of the World editor Andy Coulson, who resigned from News of the World Then it became David Cameron's media adviser, and it turned into a political scandal. Although the parties have all denied the political factors involved, the entire news and public opinion is still uproar.
But political scandals or not, people will not give up their condemnation of the repeated wiretapping scandal at the News of the World. Although it is public figures who are currently being eavesdropped, this is approaching people's moral bottom line - which has not yet been crossed. Imagine that artists can't talk normally, can't enjoy freedom even at home, and are under surveillance all the time, which makes people involuntarily think of "the world of Truman", which is undoubtedly a terrible thing.
Among the many condemnations, the "Guardian" is undoubtedly the most intense. They expressed firm resistance to the behavior of the "News of the World", and they still conducted in-depth excavation of the "News of the World" wiretapping incident.
As of today, the latest news is the scandal of wiretapping Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and the "Guardian" has launched an in-depth investigation.
In addition, Evan Bell knew that the reason why the eavesdropping scandal in the past life became a "scandal" was because of the "Millie Dowler incident", because the eavesdropped and endangered not only public figures, but even civilians. Everyone's personal safety has been threatened.
Therefore, Evan Bell also specifically investigated the progress of the "Millie Dowler Incident". Millie Dowler, a thirteen-year-old girl, went missing one day in March 2002, six months before her body was found. During the process of eavesdropping on the progress of the police investigation, the private detective hired by the "News of the World" deleted the voicemail messages without authorization, interfering with the police's investigation work, which is a fatal injury to the parties and their families.
Evan Bell looked at it. The murderer who kidnapped and killed Millie Dowler has been arrested, but he has never pleaded guilty. In the past life, the "Guardian" only investigated after the murderer was executed that Millie Dowler's mobile phone voicemail had traces of deleted messages, and then dug up the "News of the World". This is where the eavesdropping scandal broke out. So now, it seems that there is still some time before the outbreak of the wiretapping scandal.
"So what is Sean Hall looking for?" Eden Hudson frowned. In this matter, Evan Bell couldn't help at all. Neither Eden Hudson nor Teddy Bell could help. Knowing about Millie Dowler, in their opinion, Evan Bell is also a public figure. Even if the eavesdropping incident breaks out, it is estimated that Evan Bell's words will not play a substantial role.
Evan Bell frowned and thought about it. Although he knew more, he couldn't understand Sean Hall's plan. "Is he trying to use my influence to get people to condemn wiretapping? Or to make things bigger and attract everyone's attention? But what does this have to do with him?"
When Evan Bell told the two people about the whole incident, the takeaway had arrived, and now Evan Bell was eating fried noodles. He stopped, as if thinking of something, and put the fried noodle box in his hand. Come down, "You said, will he want to use me to make things worse, and then I will stand up and tell everyone that public figures will be eavesdropped because we have concerns and news; then if one day , Ordinary people also have concerns and news, and they will also become the target of eavesdropping?"
Evan Bell must consider the whole incident. Is Sean Hall trying to use his own power to expose the Millie Dowler incident or other matters involving ordinary people? But why would Sean Hall do this?
Thinking of this, the eyes of the three suddenly lit up. In the end, Teddy Bell said it first, "Could it be that Sean Hall was eavesdropped on himself?"
Eden Hudson was thinking, "I think it's Sean Hall's eavesdropping thing that was discovered, and now the 'News of the World' is going to push him out as a sacrificial sheep, so he wants to fight back. ."
"What I was thinking was, could it be that the News of the World wanted Sean Hall to eavesdrop on ordinary people, it violated his moral bottom line, he refused, so now he is in a bad situation." Vin-Bell had another idea.
Three people have three ideas, but all are possible.
Teddy Bell frowned, "Evan, do you think Sean Hall is the kind of... virtuous person?" Teddy Bell thought for a while before finding the adjective. He seemed to be right Evan Bell's speculation is not very agreeable.
Evan Bell didn't answer, chewing noodles in his mouth, but had no idea what it tasted like. Evan Bell is thinking about what kind of person Sean Hall is. He is actually a person who puts the news first, and his greatest interest is to dig out exclusive revelations, in order to achieve the goal without compromise. In the process of fighting wits and courage between Sean Hall and Evan Bell, he was almost annoyed and tried his best. If Evan Bell had not been a reporter in his last life and had the advantage of being reborn, it is estimated that he would have been eliminated by Shaw long ago. En-Hall got it.
However, does Sean Hall have such a thing as a moral bottom line?
As a reporter, they actually know better than anyone the difference between public figures and ordinary people, because the troubles and entanglements of public figures are often caused by the focus of the spotlight~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and they Just the trouble maker. But for ordinary people, any excessive attention is likely to ruin their peaceful life. Admittedly, there are many people who aspire to be the center of attention, but not at the expense of their privacy and basic human rights.
"He is not a person of high moral character, but at least, he will not destroy his glory as a reporter for the sake of rights, interests, and reputation." Evan Bell said firmly after thinking about it.
What Sean Hall enjoys is the process of getting news, and it's too easy to dig out the news of ordinary people, because ordinary people don't know how to deal with the media. As a reporter, in fact, Sean Hall has everything that he should have. He is so tireless in the front line of reporters, and he has not risen step by step. Naturally, it cannot be for fame and fortune, but enjoys digging as a reporter. The joy of the news. So, Sean Hall won't ruin this happiness, and he doesn't bother stepping on the shoulders of ordinary people to win it.
As an enemy, Evan Bell is absolutely true to Sean Hall, but from an objective standpoint, or from the perspective of a reporter's peers, Sean Hall is definitely an excellent reporter.
"Whatever our guess is, if Sean Hall is really in trouble right now, he'll definitely come to me; if he just wants to take advantage of me, he'll come again, and we'll just keep quiet. Just wait." Evan Bell swallowed the face that had no taste in his mouth and showed a smile.
If it really is a wiretapping scandal, the iceberg is just showing the tip.
