Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1594 Feelings
The media industry in the United States is very developed, and the concept of "freedom of the press" has been written into the U.S. Constitution. Today, freedom of the press has become a distinctive symbol of a democratic system. As a major democratic political right of citizens, it has been recognized in modern democratic systems. Universal confirmation.

but--

That's right, according to someone's habits, there must be a but at this time.

But the freedom of the press in the United States is just like the free trade in the United States. It is under the banner of "freedom" and there are various "fake news" behind it.

It must be made clear here that "freedom" does not mean "objective neutrality". The American media is politically inclined, so the "freedom" here loses its meaning.

Unlike The Times, which only states facts and allows readers to judge right from wrong, American news is mixed with a lot of private goods, deliberately guiding public opinion, and the American media will crazily output things that are good for the United States, and things that are not good for the United States. , the American media turned a blind eye.

This may also be part of "freedom". People have the freedom to report or not to report.

Even if it is reported, people still have the freedom to choose an angle.

It is an obvious fact that under the background of "freedom of the press", capital's penetration of the media is also very free.

Rock has always attached great importance to the guidance of public opinion. The Times also has an American version. Many media in the United States also have southern African capital looming behind them. The reason why public opinion propaganda is a position means that if you don’t occupy it, the enemy will occupy it.

"Mr. President, are you shutting out foreign products at the expense of the American people in order to protect the interests of American companies?"

"Mr. President, does the federal government's tariff barriers violate the free trade that you have always advocated?"

"Mr. President, does the federal government's failure to reduce tariffs mean that you have lost confidence in American businesses?"

Just after Coolidge appeared at the press conference, a lot of questions that Coolidge couldn't answer were thrown at him one after another. Now Coolidge was not only taciturn, but also autistic.

"Gentlemen, let's come one by one—" White House Chief of Staff Thomas O'Neill maintained order, and the first one to call was "Science Monitor" reporter Jimmy.

The full name of "Science Monitor" is "Christian Science Monitor". It was founded in November 1908 by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Scientific Christianity, in Boston, Massachusetts. Although "Christian Science Monitor" has "Christ" in its name, But the "Christian Science Monitor" is not a purely religious newspaper, but a general newspaper for "secular".

Coolidge was governor of Massachusetts before becoming President of the United States, and the Science Monitor was a paper from Massachusetts again, and Thomas hoped that Jimmy would get off to a good start and not ask too hard questions.

It's a pity that Jimmy let Thomas down. He said, "Mr. President, if the federal government does not lower tariffs, does that mean you have lost confidence in American companies?"

Oh, oh, Massachusetts not only has Harvard and MIT, but also the industrial center of the United States. The famous Springfield rifle is produced in the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts.

"No, I have full confidence in American companies. It has been 138 years since the establishment of the United States. We have created an unparalleled economic miracle and become the largest industrial country in the world. Without the contributions of American companies, there would be no America today. If the government does not lower its Tariffs are not to lose confidence in American companies, but to protect the American people from the harm of cheap and low-quality goods—” Coolidge also ignored his friendship with southern Africa at this time, so he passed the current hurdle first.

"So what if it's not cheap and poor quality, but high quality and low price?" Jimmy asked. This is big news, and it's rare for Coolidge to say so many words at once.

Coolidge's nickname was "Silent Cal" (Silent Cal, Cal is Calvin Calvin), and many people tried their best to make Coolidge talk more.

At a banquet, the poetess Dorothy Parker sat next to Coolidge. Parker said: "Your Excellency, I made a bet with others: I will make you say more than two words."

Coolidge said, "You lose!"

When Coolidge was later said to have died, Parker asked, "How did you know he was dead?"

The implication is: anyway, he does not speak when he is alive.

The silent Carl was not a fiction. Coolidge really spared his words. After answering Jimmy's first question, he turned a deaf ear to Jimmy's second question.

The first question got off to a bad start. Since familiar people didn't give face, Thomas chose an unfamiliar face next.

As a result, Thomas was even more desperate when the second reporter spoke.

"Your Excellency, I am a reporter from The Times of the United States. What I would like to ask is whether you have been pressured to let go of tariff barriers. Does this mean that American companies are already at a disadvantage when competing with foreign companies? Unfavorable situation?" The reporter of "The Times" changed the topic instead of changing the topic, and the topic was directly on tariffs.

Strange to say, the Times of America is not an American company, but an American branch of Times News Corporation.

The Times News Group is powerful. In the American newspaper industry, the Times, as a serious news media, adheres to the tenet of "reporting facts independently and objectively" and "reporting developing history" and occupies an important position in the American media industry. status.

In addition to The Times, Times News Group also owns Voice of America, which focuses on broadcasting, and Time Magazine, which was just founded the year before last, playing a pivotal role in the American media industry.

"If there is pressure, then the pressure comes from the responsibility to lead the United States to move forward. As the president of the United States, I must safeguard the interests of American companies, the American people, and the US government. American companies have the courage to pioneer, actively innovate, and have great ideals and tenacity. Indomitable faith, they have extraordinary courage and creativity, and are never afraid of any competition.” Coolidge’s answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters, and seeing that Coolidge had been avoiding the important ones, the reporters raised their hands one after another, as if they had grown up in an eagle’s nest A kitten with a mouth crying for food.

"One last question—" Thomas chose a female reporter this time, hoping she would be gentle.

"Mr. President, my question is once the United States signs the Non-War Pact, will you still support the Mexican government in suppressing the rebels, and will you withdraw troops from Nicaragua and Haiti at the same time?" Thomas never expected, the woman The reporter's question was more pointed.

Since the United States proposed the Monroe Doctrine, the United States has regarded the Americas as its own backyard.

In the 20th century, the United States stepped up its strategy for the Americas.

From 1899 to 1902, the United States occupied Cuba.

In 1903, the United States sent troops to Honduras and instigated Panama to secede from Colombia in the same year.

In 1912, the United States occupied Nicaragua.

In 1915, the United States occupied Haiti.

In 1916, the United States occupied Dominica.

The United States just withdrew its troops from Dominica last year. The reason for the withdrawal was not because of the conscience of the United States, but because it successfully supported the pro-American Horacio Vazquez government in Dominica, so it withdrew its troops from Dominica.

Don't look at the aggressiveness of southern Africa in southern Africa, but compared with the United States, southern Africa is simply an angel who is harmless to humans and animals.

"The signing of the Non-War Pact was to protect the interests of the United States, not to add more restrictions to the United States." Coolidge told the truth that Nicaragua and Haiti were not signatories to the "Affordable Pact".

Similarly, the member states of the Southern African Union, except for Southern Africa, are not signatories to the Non-War Pact.

After only three questions were answered, Coolidge's press conference ended hastily.

Only then did Coolidge know that at the same time as he was holding a press conference, Rock was also holding a press conference at the Rhodesia Hotel.

Compared with the press conference at the White House, the press conference at the Rhodesia Hotel was full of lightheartedness and joy.

Reporters are uncrowned kings. Roque has always treated reporters very well. When the reporters entered the press conference, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Roque had prepared a small gift for each of them. Custom gold pens.

It's not pure gold, it's just a nib inlaid with gold.

This is already an extraordinary generosity. You must know that nearly a hundred reporters participated in Rock's press conference. Even if a gold pen is worth $100, the sum of 100 reporters is not a small number.

Tables and chairs were also prepared at the press conference. Reporters could put their interview books on the table and take notes calmly. Bottled water and a stack of snacks were also carefully prepared on the table, which immediately won more favor for Rock. .

The photojournalists were too busy. Before Roque even showed up, he had murdered a lot of negatives. American journalists had never seen this kind of press conference. They were so generous and thoughtful.

When Roque entered the press conference, the reporters immediately burst into applause.

Yang Smotz gave Wellman, the editor-in-chief of the American "Times" the first opportunity. The treatment was outrageous. No wonder the people who went to the White House were strangers.

"My lord, why did you think of proposing the Non-War Pact?" Wellman reciprocated. This was not a question at all, but made Rock boast.

The American reporters didn't give face, and there were sporadic boos immediately.

This probably means: My ears are washed, you let me listen to this?

"When I was in New York, I met a veteran of the World War. Although he was not my subordinate, but as the commander-in-chief of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, he saluted me with his left arm with only three fingers left. An upright military salute—" Roque started telling stories, and the reporters finally quieted down.

The reporters in 1925 had never seen such a routine of "feelings".

ps: There are many relatives in the family, and the work and rest time have been adjusted, so I get up at four o'clock in the morning. The brothers will not reward such a diligent fish head——
