Chapter 228: The Perpetrator
Thus, those reporters who maliciously posted the news and stirred people up had to be found!
No matter what, they had to justify themselves! Otherwise, they could step down on their own!
Thus, a group of more serious online users who wanted to uncover the truth, as well as those who refused to admit they were wrong no matter what, dug up previous reports like they were digging up coal.
Very quickly, the reporters who maliciously stirred up the audience by deliberately reporting that Cai Da had a criminal record, and that Lu Jingfan had gotten a murderer acquitted, were revealed.
Almost all the major news agencies and even online media in South City were not spared!
Then, #evilmedia# became a trending topic.
[If I hadn’t seen the news about his family, would I be so sure that Cai Da was the murderer, even cursing him?]
[It’s all because of these unscrupulous media outlets. They only write fake news every day to attract attention. If Lawyer Lu hadn’t stood firm, someone might have died because of this injustice. Everyone thinks they’re very righteous!]
[If you ask me, no one is wrong. It’s because their malicious reports fired people up. The ones who should be dealt with the most are these unscrupulous media outlets! I remember that the media once used to just be a way to let everyone know the truth and keep in touch with the world. When did it start to deal in tricks and malicious incitement?]
[…]
Perhaps they were sincerely criticizing and questioning this moronic society, or perhaps they just wanted to absolve themselves and tell others that they weren’t wrong, that they had just been stirred up by malicious intent. The media outlets were bombarded by online users, and their popularity sank. It could be said that their impact on society was…
Despicable!
So much so that the higher-ups personally came forward to name and criticize them. They also said that from now on, as long as the media maliciously exaggerated statements without verification, or even used past mistakes to maliciously incite the audience, the offenders would be directly banned!
Thus, all the media outlets cowered.
In order to get rid of the dirt on themselves, everyone started to look for the perpetrator, the very first person to learn the news and release it.
Very quickly, this person was found!
He was a reporter who was popular in South City’s news circles — Yu Xian.
Yu Xian was famous for being bold in his reporting. He also had the illustrious title of “number one” in the news industry. Like what his name meant, he dared to be the first.
He had been about to be promoted, but now, unfortunately —
“I’m very sorry, Ah Xian. I’m informing you now that you’re dismissed!”
The boss had a troubled expression on his face. Everyone knew how much Yu Xian had contributed to the news agency all these years.
Yu Xian himself knew that he was being treated as the scapegoat. Now that the matter had blown up, he wouldn’t just be unable to work in the circle in the future; even if he looked for work outside the industry, nobody who wanted to keep their own face would be willing to hire him.
Yu Xian recalled the information that had unexpectedly appeared on his desk that day.
He had once thought that this was a pie that would bring his career to a higher level. Now, it seemed to be poison, which destroyed him at the peak of his career!
…
Sure enough, Qi Yan’s face turned green for the umpteenth time when she saw this plot twist.
D*mn it, d*mn it!
Liu Yumin was clearly dead, but Lu An revived her. Was she a demon? How was Liu Yumin still alive?!
Qi Yan gritted her teeth and her nails dug into her palms. Little did she know that something even more “exciting” awaited her!
