ads_wz_txt;

Comeback 540 Empathy. The radio station never expected that today’s show would end in this way. Even Qiao Qiao Wright, as the initiator of the topic, did not expect Hugo to give such a direct, strong, and brave answer. This obviously made Joe. Joe couldn't stand it anymore. According to statistics, the listening rate in the last five minutes of the show soared to 50%, which means that more than five million people in the greater Los Angeles area have turned on the radio and listened to the show. It can be said that everyone in the streets and lanes is listening to Hugo's shocking remarks.

At this moment, the Michael Jackson case, which was already the focus, became the center of everyone's heated discussion because of Hugo's bold remarks.

Qiaoqiao looked at Hugo, who was furious in front of him, and he suddenly realized that Hugo was not only defending Michael Jackson, but also defending himself, and it could even be said that he was defending all people in the entertainment industry. This is Hugo. I empathized and stood on the opposite side of the entire media.

In fact, in the entire entertainment industry, there are definitely more than one or two people who are troubled by the media's chase, twisting, and referencing the deer as a horse, even if everyone in the entertainment industry has tasted this bitterness. Of course, people with a positive attitude will ridicule themselves like Hugo before: it is better to have news than no news. How many unknown third-line artists deliberately create news hype and desire to win attention, but this time the malicious hype in the media has already Beyond the bottom line.

Just like the Rodney King incident, the media covered the sky with one hand, made judgments based on their own subjectivity, and sat in the guilty of seeking profit in the name of justice. As a result, they ruined the lives of a few ordinary people, but they did. Don't be responsible, because there is a gold medal for "freedom of speech" as a cover.

In the United States, where freedom of speech is admired, every citizen can freely express his or her political views and criticize the government for improper policies. Even if your criticism lacks factual basis or is completely untrue, the government will not sue you for defamation.

Hugo experienced this in the Golden Globe incident earlier that year. For the protection of freedom of speech in the United States, almost all government officials and public figures can be found in courts for defamation charges. Moreover, the United States treats celebrities or celebrities or public figures. The definition of a public figure is very broad. Although there is no clear stipulation in the law, according to some cases in the United States, some judges believe that your name has been publicly reported in the media three or two times, even if you are a celebrity.

From this we can see how powerful the United States gives freedom of speech 7jo

The reason why the U.S. government does this is to protect people's basic human rights-the right to speak, on the one hand, and to give the media a supervisory responsibility, as we all know.

The so-called supervision responsibility of the media is actually to supervise public opinion through newspapers, magazines, television, radio and other public media, so as to ensure the normal operation of government agencies. To put it simply, if someone embezzles or accepts bribes, the media can expose it in the pursuit of the truth, and then form public opinion supervision, which is of great help to the operation of the government. It can be said that the media is the eyes of society.

It is precisely because of the supervision responsibility of the media that the government must ensure the independence of the media and ensure that they will not be interfered by "powerful forces."

Of course, as we all know, the media is not omnipotent. Society is a human society, and there is bound to be collusion of interests where there are people. Conversely, the existence of such a dark side of society requires even more fairness, fairness, transparency and truthfulness of the media.

It is in this cycle that the media’s right to freedom of speech is greatly protected.

In addition to the government, most of the initial definitions of public figures were civil servants, such as mayors, sheriffs, and manor owners. These celebrities with great power are in the upper class, so they also need to be supervised by the media. However, with the development of the entertainment industry, the exposure rate of artists has soared, and even has the function of public opinion leaders and social role models. Therefore, artists are gradually included in the category of public figures, and the media can also use public opinion supervision duties on artists .

It is under this continuous development that the entertainment media’s full-scale exposure of artists has gradually flourished, but with the recommendation of time, the supervision responsibility has gradually evolved into exposure behavior, and the exposure behavior of chasing the truth has become simple and rude. Breaking the news, this is where the paparazzi is today.

In the Rodney King incident, the reason why the media can speak freely is because the entire incident involves racial issues, so every citizen has the right to speak. What's more, the media has always been "fighting for the rights of Rodney King who is black..." They are standing under the banner of justice, so no one will be entangled in the media's concealment of facts, and no one will go. Investigate the media's upside-down right and wrong.

Similarly, with regard to Michael Jackson, the media can also act recklessly, because Michael is a public figure.

Therefore, under the cover of so-called freedom of speech, the media often make speculations according to their own imaginations. They do not report based on facts, but rather sensationalize like writing novels.

In the past, Michael Jackson has been entwined with countless negative news. At the beginning of this year, Michael also accepted an interview with Oprah Winfrey to clarify a series of false news. But when the so-called sorrow. After the Tong case broke out, the clarified fake news turned into "evidence" and became the weapon for the media to attack Michael. They used their pen to demonize Michael and portray him into a heinous gangster. Child perverted.

The media is no longer enforcing the right to freedom of speech, but is using its own rights to try to replace the existence of the law, using morality, public opinion, and momentum to pressure and even judge. This is not only not a glorious thing, but also a social retrogressive thing. Only in the slavery society before the formation of the law would such a thing appear.

This is a huge scandal in the entire society!

This is the root cause of Hugo's anger. Reading this section of history before, the emotions have been very turbulent, but the feelings were not real enough at the time. After all, it was an event very far away from him; but now after experiencing it personally, Hugo knew that when the entire human civilization has been so developed, there are people who would do such cruel things for their own benefit. Not only did he witness Michael Jackson's suffering, but he himself was also a member of the persecuted group!

"Schindler's List" condemned the Nazis' inhumane massacre, and what Hugo wanted to condemn this time was the murder of the social civilization and the spiritual world of human beings by the news media!

Qiaoqiao’s thoughts were disturbed for a while, and he couldn’t straighten out a line of thought immediately. He could vaguely understand Hugo’s thoughts, but it was difficult to digest them immediately, so he could only say, “This The Los Angeles police have launched a meticulous investigation into this case. We believe that the law will give us an answer, and that right or wrong can always be tried."

Jojo took a peek at the angry Hugo, but was afraid to ask the question again. He hurriedly said, "This is the end of our show today. The last song is from the glorious to death'Li ( See you at the same time next time. "

The director outside the recording studio immediately pushed up the volume of the music playback, and everyone was relieved.

Hugo took off the headset directly, shook hands with Jojo in a hurry, and then left the recording studio first, facing the other radio staff in the recording studio, Hugo’s surging emotions at this time could not be vented. But he still suppressed his emotions, stopped, nodded and bowed to the other staff in the studio, and said in a low voice, "Sorry for losing control just now."

After speaking, Hugo turned and left the recording studio. Leaving a group of dumbfounded staff standing in place, Henry patted Samora on the shoulder, "Apologize to everyone." Then he hurriedly speeded up his pace and walked out behind Hugo.

Hugo was walking fast at this time. Henry was originally a lazy bone. Even if he cheered up at this time, his footsteps could not keep up with Hugo's pace. He had to trot directly, "Stop, Hugo, stop... Hugo Lancaster! I told you to stop!"

Hugo had already walked into the stairwell at this time. He clenched his fists tightly and couldn't control his inner anger. If a news reporter appeared in front of him at this time, he didn't know what he would do. The figure of Anthony Bond Stewart of the National Inquirer keeps flashing in his mind. The last time the Golden Globes incident was planned by Anthony, and now the National Inquirer plays an important role in the Michael Jackson incident.' color'. This is the most ugly face of the news media.

"What?" Hugo stopped and looked at Henry, who was panting and catching up. He shouted angrily, "Are you here to tell me, shouldn't I say those things? You are telling me, I Is it beyond the bottom line?" Looking at Hugo, who looked like an angry bull at this time~www.readwn.com~ Henry didn't speak immediately, but first let his breath go. This little bit of space also made Hugo's The anger calmed down a bit, and Henry said, "No, I am not going to stop you, I just want to tell you that the reporters are likely to have swarmed over, are you ready to accept the bombardment?"

In fact, Henry was a bit worried just now, but after seeing Hugo's firm stand, Henry was relieved that the media attack will never stop, no matter what your stand, they can always find the leak. . But if Hugo can strengthen his position, things will be much easier.

Hugo raised his head and looked at Henry in front of him. He was not familiar with Henry. After all, the two had only known each other for four months. Henry had always looked lazy and couldn't see him at all. But today, Hugo felt that Henry in front of him seemed to be familiar a lot.

Henry finally eased his anger. He showed a lazy smile, "Reporters are never scary. Remember, reporters are like bulls. Although they are threatening, you are a matador. Just master With strength and skill, you can tease them with the red cloth in your hands.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to read it and vote for it.
