Third-rate politicians cover up the facts, second-rate politicians selectively announce facts, and first-rate politicians give you clues for you to deduce the facts they want. They give you nine truths, a lie or all the truth. When you accept the truth, they accept their way of thinking along the way, and then make the decision they want along the way they set it up. Stephen Collins is undoubtedly such a top politician. He never takes you away. He just revises the clues at a few key points to let you go where you want you to go.

Politicians will never have principles, positions, beliefs, and only themselves. Truth, justice, and ideals are just a cover for them. As long as it is beneficial to them, they will "talk about finances today, about photography tomorrow, transportation the day after tomorrow, and then suddenly they will recite the Buddha." (Lu Xun's "Jiwaiji Supplements: Two Thoughts on This Spring"

The mission of a reporter is to restore the truth. Observe the truth behind the incident with a keen eye, and then report it neutrally and faithfully to restore the facts. In this way, reporters and politicians are natural enemies, especially when the information between politicians and the masses is completely asymmetrical, and the masses need the truth, if all the truths are available When reported, there is no stage for politicians to play. Therefore, politicians in the far east will shout to reporters: Are you speaking for XX or XXX. A reporter Carl McCaffrey who has always been responsible for reporting facts, he His best friend is indeed the first-class politician Stephen Collins. So Carl deliberately avoided the report about Stephen, but a murder case made him unavoidable.

When Carl peeled off the fog and finally revealed the facts At that time, he asked his assistant Della to press send. The colleagues around him all praised his work, but they really looked away from him. Whoever doesn’t have the privacy that he doesn’t want to expose, you would be willing to have a friend who might expose everything about you. The film finally gave Carl a lonely back. Fortunately, Della was with him. The

film also explored news selling points and gimmicks. Now that more and more attention is paid to speed and gimmicks, the media are looking for the most eye-catching news. Sometimes the authenticity is sacrificed, so more and more chasing news hits the media, and even makes news unfounded.

The exclusive and sharing of news clues. The media pursue exclusive reports to attract audiences, but the public wants to share information, so Della is right Because the clues were not told to the police in time, the informant was lost after his death without adequate protection.

Reporter's ultra vires behavior. In order to dig out exclusive news, journalists are increasingly using illegal and improper methods to explore news.

    Like scripts, like Crow. I downloaded the original British drama and watched an episode. The film version is adapted, and there are things worth learning.
