Chapter 1647: Without political correctness, the world
Regardless of whether the comic is intended to ridicule the White House economic stimulus package as "bad", even chimpanzees can come up with a similar approach.
It still has a taste of racism. This cartoon of the chimpanzee shooting will occupy the national media hot spot and the focus of the people in the future.
The team of Andy Smith and Ivana, who had been leaving New York and flew to California, had just left the gate of Long Island Manor. They were surrounded by paparazzi and reporters on both sides, blocking the team's way.
"Bang--"
The constantly beaten window of the car, the camera lens clinging to the window, Andy and Ivana sitting in the compartment have long been accustomed to it. After looking at the window with ten fingers, they looked at each other and smiled. The situation of Cliff Villa Liberty City.
Andy and Ivana are so crazy about these reporter paparazzi, they also understand it very much. After all, this New York Post comic book can be hyped too much, and they both want to get a level such as Andy and Ivana. People's words on the matter are used as the main news to increase the sales of newspapers.
However, in the face of such politically incorrect incidents, there is actually nothing to say. It is nothing more than a condemnation of the comic that "causes infinite association", but the "sequelae caused by the chimpanzee comics" have not yet begun to ferment. Really It is necessary to 'fetch a companion' to put comics on racism, and before things are generally clear, it is not a matter for smart people to do. The situation is reversed and the face is not absent. Therefore, this involves Politically correct things can be stated, but they must not be rushed.
Politically correct, Andy is really impressed by this.
As Okuanhai entered the White House, Americans rejoiced. Although the term "black ghost" with strong racial discrimination can only be used by black buddies, 'black' has long been a taboo word, and only " "African Americans", but they still feel that they have been discriminated because of their skin color until Guanhai's entry into the White House, which also represents a politically correct victory.
On topics that involve race, gender, and other differences between the strong and the weak, you must either remain silent or speak from the standpoint of the weak, otherwise you are suspected of discrimination, which has become the mainstream of European and American society. qian rules.
In the United States, in any formal occasion, the president of the United States must hang his or her, his or her rather ambiguous word expression in his mouth. Even the talk shows that are often very poisonous in the United States, whether it is politicians or celebrities, are extremely diligent, but once it involves racial discrimination, zj, tx love, xing do not discriminate, etc., the consequences are unthinkable.
I do not know when political correctness has become a moral yardstick, so that everyone is cautious, and at the same time, it makes some people loath to "political correctness".
Of course, although political correctness is a bit overkill and has caused some people to rebound, but without "political correctness", the world will be even worse!
When Andy and Ivana boarded their Boeing 747, crossed the sky, and flew to California, the New York Post newspaper was already crowded with protesters, and some have publicly called for a boycott of the New York Post and For the merchants who advertised on this media, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a press conference to ask the editor-in-chief to resign, and threatened that if the "New York Post" "does not take disciplinary action", they will join all civil rights organizations in the United States. Boycott this newspaper.
Andy watched the whole process of the fermentation of the event on the aircraft TV, and couldn't help laughing at Ivana: "I don't know. I just learned about Murdoch's miserable $ 6.4 billion last year. What was his mood at this time?"
Ivana closed the magazine in her mouth, raised her mouth, and charmingly glared her own man, saying: "Recently the U.S. newspaper industry has been frequently bankrupted, and the outside world has frequently bought newspapers for you, but you also question more than support. After all, those newspapers you own It's also losing money. "
“Compared to News Corp ’s newspaper department ’s loss of $ 3 billion, those newspapers I have lost a total of tens of millions have made me very happy. Besides, this money is lost, and it ’s not a cost. It can be done for tens of millions, only a little money, it is enough to lose, just to support them, the right to speak is the most important. "Andy said indifferently, holding media power in his hand, he It is very important. Not only is he not afraid of losing money, he will continue to expand the power of the media.
"Recently, the" San Francisco Chronicle "and" Seattle Post "were looking for buyers because of heavy losses. Didn't Amanda tell you? Ivana looked at Andy with a smile on her face, soft Cried.
Andy first nodded and then shook his head and said, "I know what the two newspapers were looking for buyers, but it wasn't Amanda who told me, but Benneck, the chief executive of Hirst Group. I was contacted by phone and asked if I had any purchase intentions.
The San Francisco Chronicle is the largest newspaper in northern California. It has been in business for 144 years and has been a part of the daily life of the residents of the Bay Area. However, it suffered a huge loss of $ 50 million last year and is still bleeding. The loss so far this year is even greater than the same period last year. For serious.
The Seattle Post also continued to lose money, and Benneck told me that if no buyers could be found, it would suspend publication.
To be honest, I am very interested in the "San Francisco Chronicle". After all, it is the only large daily newspaper in the San Francisco area with huge influence. With the "Los Angeles Daily", then the public opinion orientation and the right to speak in California can be further Get under control and influence. "
Facing a serious talk about Andy's career, Ivana's careful machine was crushed directly, and she was extremely interested in what Andy said. To be honest, she hopes that his man will be more and more than anyone else. The stronger it is, the economic and social influence can evolve into power, and to a certain extent, it can replace political power.
"However, you also need to consider the problems of sharply reduced advertising revenue and subscribers under the financial tsunami, and the impact of new media. To be honest, newspapers in big cities are facing a long-term terrible environment. Economic recovery is one aspect, but there are ways to improve Business model. "Ivana slightly frowned and analyzed.
"Well, I want to turn the San Francisco Chronicle into an electronic version and reduce the number of paper publications. In the face of Silicon Valley, paper media has indeed not adapted to the environment and rhythm there." Andy had thought about this before, and his company Although all newspapers are launching electronic editions, they are currently running on two lines in parallel. Most of them are mainly paper publications. The electronic editions are also free. He plans to use the San Francisco Chronicle as an experiment and take a paid electronic edition newspaper. Although the risk of this route is great, it has the influence of Silicon Valley and the chance of success will be great.
Near 12 noon, the Boeing 747-vip aerial palace landed smoothly on the runway of San Diego International Airport. She had taken off her winter clothes and changed to spring clothes. Ivana took Andy's arm out of the cabin and felt the bright sunshine. There was a charming sweet smile on it.
"Let's go, dear, let's go home." Andy stretched out his arms around Ivana's waist, carefully holding her down the ramp.
