Chapter 146 The Counterattack Started

The news that Lin Jinqi was taken away by the FBI was first exposed on two social media, Twitter and Facebook; then there was a related topic on Huffpost, and several popular bloggers published blog posts to analyze and comment on this matter.Lin Jinqi's expected "self-media" to replace "traditional media" actually started because of his own "scandal". Afterwards, Lin Jinqi was a little bit dumbfounded when he saw the news.However, just after Lin Jinqi came out of the FBI's office in New York, Lin Jinqi's team authorized the release of news through official accounts on social media.

As the founder of Twitter, Facebook and Huffpost, Lin Jinqi naturally runs his own official account through his own team.Since Lin Jinqi's official account was the first to appear and be certified, and Lin Jinqi is also a very popular figure in reality, the attention of Lin Jinqi's official account has always been very high.

Lin Jinqi's official statement refuted the allegations made against him by the FBI and the New Jersey Federal Prosecutor's Office. Lin Jinqi proved through a series of official documents issued by the US government or authoritative institutions that he and Smart Company are only in an investment relationship, and at the same time he is only a minority shareholder. , and he is not the company's management and does not hold any board positions.Later, Lin Jinqi released a meeting minutes on the "anti-theft system" in Smart's "leaking door". Lin Jinqi said that he only proposed to add an anti-theft system to protect the interests of consumers at the board of directors.However, this proposal was approved by the entire board of directors, and the final selection of the system is determined by the management. This responsibility has nothing to do with Lin Jinqi.

In the end, Lin Jinqi said that the reason why the FBI and federal prosecutors came to him was political persecution and racial discrimination.Most of Lin Jinqi's assets are located in California, New Jersey and New York, and these three states are all famous "blue states", that is, the hardcore camps of blue donkeys.Although the red elephants are now in power, most of the power in these three states still belongs to the blue donkeys, and even the representation of the federal government here is held by the blue donkeys.

Lin Jinqi's team disclosed the political party affiliation of the federal prosecutor and the senior representative of the FBI's New York office who carried out the arrest mission. They are all hardcore blue donkey party members.Although the federal judge who issued the arrest warrant did not have any political party attributes due to his status as a judge, from his past speeches, everyone can still conclude that he is pro-blue donkey.And then another conclusion not only proved Lin Jinqi's statement, but also put the blue donkey into embarrassment.That is, Lin Jinqi's team used the big data analysis method to classify and analyze all the legal papers and related judgments of this judge, and found that the proportion of his convictions for people of color was higher than that of white people. On average, it is 2 to 3 years higher than that of the white race.This is a very embarrassing question, because these judgments undoubtedly say that this judge is racially discriminatory.

In fact, Lin Jinqi knows that this kind of discrimination is not a problem of this judge, but a problem of the entire American judiciary.If you analyze it carefully, almost all judges in the United States will adopt stricter sentences for people of color (especially African Americans).At the same time, many crimes in the United States are not conducive to blacks when they are convicted.For example, in the relevant laws on "drug control", the addictiveness of drug A and drug B is actually similar, but the abuse of drug A is classified as a felony when the United States legislates, while the abuse of drug B is classified as a felony. is a misdemeanor.The reason is actually very simple to blame, because drug A is mainly used by black people, while drug B is mainly used by white people.So this judge may be a little bit racist, but it's not obvious.However, after the targeted analysis of the entire big data, the judge's reputation was immediately tainted.And the blue donkey who has always advertised himself as a supporter of the affirmative movement for colored people is even more embarrassed. They don't know how to cut off from this judge.

Shortly after Lin Jinqi's statement was made public, several popular articles suddenly appeared in the topic of Huffpost.Originally, this topic about Lin Jinqi was the most concerned on the Internet, and these few articles that have sprung up have naturally attracted the attention of Internet readers.These articles are naturally Lin Jinqi's "water soldiers", but unlike those low-level "water soldiers" who have no brains to praise, these "water soldiers" are all high-end goods raised by Lin Jinqi.From the point of view of traditional media, this is Lin Jinqi's official literati.

These "queen writers" are usually "opinion leaders" in electronic products, political discussions, and social analysis. After receiving the instruction and materials provided by Lin Jinqi's team, they "whitewashed" Lin Jinqi and Smart Company one by one. "Articles began to appear on the Internet one after another.Then under Lin Jinqi's instructions, search optimization for these articles is also in progress.As a result, these articles not only became the topical hotspots of Huffpost, but also became the first search results on search engines.

For example, several electronic product channel evaluation experts conducted various dismantling and analysis on SmartPad and SmartPhone under Smart Company, and found that the anti-theft systems of SmartPad and SmartPhone will return all management rights to consumers after normal activation by consumers. Consumers can choose to completely turn off the anti-theft system in order to protect their privacy.And even if the anti-theft system is turned on, only after the user activates the anti-theft system after the product is stolen can the privacy be exposed.But at this time, the privacy exposed by the product is not the privacy of the user, but the privacy of the thief or the illegal user who bought the stolen goods.

And the evaluation experts said that this anti-theft concept is not original to Smart.Even Smart's anti-theft system was integrated after purchasing a product from a Canadian security protection software company, and similar software from this Canadian company is used by many companies in North America and Europe.Many of the products listed by the reviewer are products that consumers have seen or used on a daily basis, to prove that Smart is not the only company doing this and that this product is recognized by the industry.

Meanwhile, bloggers on current affairs and social hotspots started to mention the judge who signed the arrest warrant. Some bloggers even obtained the love letter that the judge wrote to his girlfriend in middle school. Tendency to racism.

When Lin Jinqi's team launched a counterattack on social media, the traditional media soon responded.NBC, the network that has been competing with CBS, was quick to run an aggregated analysis of yesterday's statement and related reports on their morning news show "Today."Since NBC's Carson Daly dared to invite Lin Jinqi on the show, it means that NBC's attitude is at least friendly to Lin Jinqi, so in the daytime talk show "Today's Talk" after "Today" aired, the host Casey Both Li and Huo Da expressed sympathy for Lin Jinqi's experience, and believed that political persecution and racial discrimination still occur in the United States today is unforgivable.

The senior red elephant members of Congress contacted by Catherine did not expect that Lin Jinqi's team would have such a strong report, so they showed their own information when they were interviewed by C-SPAN's morning news program "Washington News". The firepower during the meeting of Congress has denounced the blue donkey from the presidential candidate to the congressional minority leader and party whip.

Among the three major news channels in the United States, CNN and MSNBC spared no effort in reporting Lin Jinqi because they are pro-blue donkeys.Now that the news is starting to turn around, in order not to get too deep, the two news channels actually adopted a selective blindness attitude towards the biggest news hotspot today - Lin Jinqi.As a die-hard supporter of the Red Elephant, the Fox News Channel took turns reporting on the breaking news of Lin Jinqi's team. At the same time, it felt "distressed" and "pity" about its peers CNN and MSNBC's "self-defeating".

If these counterattacks were considered peaceful, when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), two of the most famous affirmative-rights organizations in the United States, both issued statements condemning "the persecution and discrimination against Lin Jinqi" , American public opinion just exploded.Although the "New York Times", "Washington Post", "Wall Street Journal" and "Los Angeles Times" are indeed major newspapers in the United States, there are still some of the 25 well-known major newspapers in the United States that are not so opposed to Lin Jinqi.

So after the NAACP and ACLU sounded the horn of attack, the New York Daily News, New York Post, Orange County Register, Philadelphia Inquirer and Boston The Globe immediately followed up the report of "political persecution and racial discrimination".So Lin Jinqi immediately became a victim, and his public image immediately bottomed out.

With public opinion boiling, not only the red elephant took advantage of the victory to attack the blue donkey, but even the White House, which had been silent all along, issued a statement appalled by the incident and ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate the matter.In fact, the blue donkey got part of the support of the White House this time. Although the White House is now in charge of the Red Elephant, according to the usual practice, as long as they win the White House, the partisan color will naturally be appropriately diluted.And since this is Grove's last term, Grove is silent most of the time in order not to let the blue donkey get hold of him.But this time the blue donkey was overthrown by Lin Jinqi and Xiaoshu saw the possibility of electing an heir to continue running for the presidency, so Xiaoshu would not let go of this opportunity to make things worse.

When the red elephant drives the blue donkey over a cliff, the blue donkey is divided over the matter.There are roughly four factions within the Blue Donkey. The mainstream faction is the liberal faction. They did not participate in the incident against Lin Jinqi. The second largest faction is the middle faction that rose in the era of President Zipper. Although they did not directly participate, But objectively they agree with it and silently promote it; in addition to these two big factions, there is also a progressive faction that is more "leftist" than the liberals, and the other is a conservative faction that is comparable to a red elephant. This is the so-called "Blue Dog Alliance".

The matter against Lin Jinqi this time was promoted by the Blue Dog Alliance. They have a close relationship with the red elephant, and even have a relationship with the small bush.Although the Blue Dog Alliance and the Blue Donkey are basically at odds, due to historical reasons, the Blue Dog Alliance has always been a faction within the Blue Donkey.Because the blue donkey was originally a representative of the "slave-holding states" in the southern United States, and was originally a conservative faction party.The Blue Donkeys did not become a "liberal" party until after the "Roosevelt New Deal", so it is not surprising that a "Blue Dog Alliance" appeared in this self-proclaimed "progressive" and "liberal" party.Most of the time, the mainstream faction of the blue donkeys and the blue dog alliance live in peace, and even tolerate them voting against the bills promoted by the blue donkeys.But this time the trouble was a bit big, and the Blue Donkey was considering whether to split the Blue Dog Alliance.
