American Gossip King

Chapter 32 Good News Requires a Turning Point

After letting Lloyd leave, Ian closed the door and began reading the various opinions.

Two major news stories in recent days have elicited different reactions both domestically and internationally.

The US is more concerned about the Danny Koskerri dismemberment case, since such violent incidents usually only appear in movies and are rare in reality. What surprised colleagues even more was how the Herald obtained such high-definition, full-view photos.

Are the Los Angeles Police Department working for the Herald?

Internationally, there is more attention on Lilimarta, especially in the east.

Ian enjoys reading Southern-style whitewashing articles; it gives him a special kind of pleasure.

As expected, the magazines in the east all published comments on this.

"No one can escape the eyes of the uncrowned king, and Ian Carl faithfully fulfills his duty as a journalist."

"Some people say that installing surveillance cameras in other people's homes is illegal. I want to say that this is precisely the right of journalists. Only in this way can we pierce through the deep darkness and let the sunlight in."

"When all the dark corners are cleaned, the house will naturally become clean."

"Disclosing real sex photos is not about entertaining people with sex, but about truthfully reproducing the original appearance of things; it is an art."

"Nude models can be art, and so can photography! It's more realistic, closer to the original appearance, and besides, there's censorship."

"This is America."

"In America, there are no classes; there is only equality and freedom above all else in front of the media!"

Ian burst out laughing.

He liked these guys' comments; every word they said now would later condemn them to shame.

In fact, reflection is not a bad thing. The unique spirit of reflection among Chinese people makes them pay attention to self-examination, makes them improve themselves, makes them unwilling to fall behind, and makes them strive to be the best.

Without reflection, there is no self-improvement!

However, excessive self-reflection, ignoring objective reality, and always believing that everything others do is good, inevitably leads to problems and creates the existence of some pro-American and pro-Japanese elements.

Also normal.

The initial step in this process is for everyone to learn to reflect and recognize the strengths of others. Then, this understanding is widely promoted, forming a market with similar values. Next, in order to cater to this market, it becomes even more extreme, ultimately turning what were originally good habits into a distorted perception.

Many good things gradually go awry under these circumstances—from creating a market to catering to it, from a healthy market to a distorted market.

Just like feminism, animal rights, environmental protection, and so on.

Extremes can turn all good things into toxic waste.

But if we only look at commercial needs, then Southern Media Group didn't actually do anything wrong—the current trend of "rethinking" is very profitable!

Who doesn't talk nonsense for money?

"It's all for profit!" Li Yi Ian Carl murmured.

Then he picked up the IOU from Garrick from the table, rolled it in a cigar, and slowly began to smoke.

The IOU burned to ash in the cigar, and the debt from the past dissipated like blue smoke as Ian grew up.

A new chapter in life begins here!

........................

Los Angeles Police Department.

In the office lobby, the burly Black Chief of Police, Utrecht Balton, roared furiously, "Look at the mess you've made! Only six hours have passed since the incident! Six hours, and the whole world knows about it! What does this mean?"

His roaring voice almost shook the office hall.

One policeman replied in a very idiotic way, "No, the whole world knows that, boss."

"Shut up!" Betton yelled, waving his fist. "The mayor called me personally. This is a huge deal; he demanded it be dealt with as soon as possible. Countless people are watching this place. If we can't solve this case, it'll be a problem for everyone. Bellman!"

A middle-aged white police officer stepped forward: "Hey, boss."

He had deep-set eyes and a piercing gaze, and he looked a bit like Wade Williams, the police officer Mahone from Prison Break 2.

At that moment, Betton pointed at Officer Bellman and said, "You're in charge of this case!"

"Understood, boss." Officer Bellman shrugged, then said, "Catherine, Bot, you two come with me."

The blonde policewoman and a young white police officer followed Bellman out of the police station.

The first 48 hours of the case are the most crucial, and Bellman, Catherine, and others worked on them until midnight before going home to rest.

The next morning, Bellman arrived at the police station and sat down in his seat.

The blonde policewoman handed Bellman a cup of coffee: "Here you go."

"Thank you, Catherine, you're always so thoughtful." Behrman rubbed his still sleepy eyes, noticed a newspaper next to him, and picked it up.

Catherine said, "You'd better put down your coffee before you watch the news."

"What?" Bellman was taken aback.

He put down his coffee and looked at the news, the contents of which astonished him.

The next moment, Bellman slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What the hell is this Los Angeles Herald? How do they know about this?"

………………

The Los Angeles Herald's president's office.

The latest novel is first published here!

The sun shines brightly outside the window, and the green plants on the desk sway gently.

Ian Carl sat in his large chair, happily reading the newspaper.

Newspaper headline: "Danny Koskerri's death accompanied by missing drugs, suspected to be a gang feud over drugs."

Good news stories always need to know how to create a twist.

Just like with Kate Beckinsale, they first declared her a suspect, and then tried to clear her name.

A good routine is never too repetitive.

So the previous report was about Danny Koskerri dying in an evil ritual, and the next one is about missing drugs, suspected to be a drug dispute.

By providing two answers and letting the public discuss and debate them, more people will become interested and buy the newspaper... Expired newspapers can also be sold!

This is what news should be.

Besides, the case could also be attributed to a gang shootout, which would help the police close the case, right?

I'm just that kind-hearted!

Just then, an editor knocked on the door: "The police want to see you."

"Let her in," Ian said casually.

The editor stared at him in astonishment.

He noticed that Ian had said "she".

How did he know she was a policewoman?

A moment later, blonde policewoman Catherine appeared in front of Ian.

She looked at Ian and said, "I have something to ask you, Ian Carl."

Ian waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."

Catherine sat down opposite him.

Her long, golden waves swung naturally to either side, and she looked at Ian with sparkling sky-blue eyes: "How did you know that a shipment of drugs was lost after Danny Koskerry died?"

Ian shrugged. "It wasn't me who knew; it was my reporter who got the information. As for how he found out... well, officer, we're all in the same boat. Do I need to explain?"

As he spoke, he gazed intently at the beautiful woman before him.

Under the penetrating light, she had nowhere to hide in Ian's eyes.

She has a beautiful S-shaped figure with excellent proportions. The key is that she works out, and her long, slender legs with a touch of muscle exude a healthy and sunny aura.

She's not as beautiful as Kate, but not far off; the key is that she has great lines and a fantastic figure.

Those long legs are so strong, it must feel amazing to be squeezed by them!

As Ian continued watching, a rush of blood to his head surged.

She even cuts hair!

I like this!

He immediately put his hands in his pockets to conceal his instinctive reaction, and shook his head to hide his inner excitement.
