James, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, is an old reporter. He can't even remember how many years he has been in the news industry.
He only remembers that when he was very young, he was already a newsboy on the streets of New York. When James was a newsboy, newspapers were the authoritative mouthpiece of the world.
Whether it was the workers paving pipelines on the side of Fifth Avenue or the elites dressed up in the Empire State Building. They were used to buying a newspaper every day and reading the content that was useful to them.
The smell of ink carried by those newspapers penetrated into the bone marrow, branded into James's soul and began to grow up with him.
Those flying and jumping words, those playful and angry brushstrokes. Those who dare to face authority and scold the US government's current power holders are a bunch of idiots.
There are also comments on current politics and social concern. Even if the latest movie is good or not, it's up to the media to decide.
There are many similar examples, all of which were decided by the newspaper media in those days.
In that era, reporters were crowned the uncrowned king. Because they are the most authoritative mouthpiece, they have the most important right to speak in the world.
If Hollywood movies want a good reputation, they have to look for them. If a company needs a good reputation, it needs to look for them.
If it's an election year, politicians are bound to visit influential editorialists in the authoritative media. He asked them to put in a few good words for him so that he could get more votes.
The authority of reporters and the media has been rooted in the deepest part of James's soul since his childhood and has become an unshakable belief. Therefore, at that time, he made up his mind to become an outstanding reporter one day.
To be the uncrowned king of the world!
This road was a bit hard. It took him decades to found the daily bugle. The Daily Bugle became the largest print media organization in New York, even surpassing the New York Daily News.
The news empire, under James's constant efforts, is constantly expanding its territory. They are involved in both the website media and the television field.
James, who was a newspaper boy, has now become the head of a news empire and an upper-class figure in society.
But the longer he carried the honor of being the uncrowned king, the more James felt that the title was beginning to lose its appeal to him.
Yes, the uncrowned king is still uncrowned. The real crown had to be placed on his head. That was what he wanted. And because of this sudden idea, James set his sights on politics.
The real power in this world was to step into politics, enter the parliament, and even enter the White House. Only then could one truly be called the King of the World!
If he wanted to enter politics, he needed a suitable opportunity. After a lot of mediation, Williams finally got the qualification to be the mayor of New York City.
He was determined to win this year's New York election! The mayor of New York City would be his first step into politics. His goal was not only that, he wanted to go to a higher place.
However, that was all in the future. Right now, the most important thing was to take the first step steadily. The mayor of New York City was even more important than the governor of many states.
If he wanted to win the fierce election in this place, he would need to spend some effort. For example, what James was doing now was using the Spider-man's name to build his reputation before the election.
The inspiration for this incident was brought to him by Captain America's lawsuit against the military.
When his informant in the police station inquired about a controversial case involving Spiderman, he found out that Spiderman was involved in the case. James's keen intuition immediately associated it with an article that could be manipulated.
Therefore, he quickly asked someone to contact the lawyer named Lucar. He wanted him to defend Mark McMahon. He put the matter on the legal agenda and continued to expand the matter.
He wanted to use the fame of the Spider-man as a stepping stone for himself.
James knew that some Spider-man fans would question him if he did this. But it didn't matter, did it? Because not all New Yorkers were fans of the Spider-man.
Politics was like this. When you were ready to please some people, you always needed to abandon others. James calculated well. Everything went well, including what had happened before.
Before the election officially began, he gained a lot of attention and the support of a considerable part of the public by constantly slandering and slandering the Spider-man.
This made him feel a little proud.
As for what would happen to the Spider-man? What does it have to do with him? James doesn't like the Spider-man, never! He likes war heroes like Captain America, not Spider-man, who causes trouble in the city every day!
As usual, at nine o 'clock, James walked briskly to the building of The Daily Bugle.
He was wondering what editorial he needed to write today to continue canvassing for his mayoral election. He didn't notice that the employees around him looked at him strangely.
Until he got to his office door, his assistant, a young man in his early twenties who just graduated from college, stopped him. "Chief, what's going to happen to the website now?"
The assistant looked scratching his head. He seemed to have something on his mind.
James, on the other hand, was confused. "Website? What website?
"Of course it's the website of The Daily Bugle. Don't you know?" Damn it! The assistant felt that he had said something. It turned out that James didn't know about the website. It seemed that no one had informed him at all because no one had touched him.
But he didn't know it and ran into it stupidly. Damn it! This old guy will be angry with me later. Is he going to deduct my salary again? My God! I haven't had a full salary for four months!
Last month he found an excuse to deduct my salary because I didn't wear a tie at work. Now that this has happened, my salary this month will not be all deducted by this old bastard! The young assistant thought angrily. He had decided that he would start looking for a job later.
Ah! In a big city like New York, it's really hard to find a job for a second-rate college graduate like himself who didn't graduate from a famous school! The assistant opened the mobile app, hoping to find a position in the same city.
James walked into his office with doubts, turned on his computer and logged on to the website.
At the moment he entered the website, James quickly understood what the assistant had just said about the trouble on the website.
Just last night's brewing, the hero video released by Li Jie has exceeded 50 million views worldwide. Even many people on the other side of the ocean who didn't know the heroes of New York City began to pay attention to them.
And what Li Jie said in the video: the hero's honor should not be a stepping stone for others. Many people were trying to guess the meaning of this sentence.
Then some New Yorkers quickly associated that all heroes have Weibo, but Spider-man did not. And some people who read The Daily Bugle also connected the recent trouble Spider-man got into.
Carr's complaint against Spider-man, accusing him of violently imprisoning Mark McMahon, was turned up by netizens and spread on the Internet.
And the recent criticism of Spider-man by the editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle has also been taken out.
Some things look like nothing at the time, but you can't help thinking about it. Especially many netizens also have professionals.
For example, a retired old lawyer, who is sensitive to the smell of politics. He found out that James had recently become a candidate for mayor of New York City.
With a professional intuition. He subconsciously felt that these things were not so simple. He spent two hours discussing his conjecture.
They thought that this was probably a political show directed by James himself, and the purpose was to warm up his upcoming campaign. He wants to be mayor of New York!
The post spread like wildfire due to the popularity of the video. Political conspiracy theories and political filth are almost instinctively disgusted by most citizens, and at the same time, they have to be sure that such things must exist.
And it was another video that pushed the conspiracy theory to the top. The clerk who was robbed, he posted a video of himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The clerk's head was down, and his tone was lost. "I watched Spider-man's video and I think I was wrong."
"I didn't realize until now that Spider-man is a mortal like us. He will be happy, lost, and hurt. "
"He helped me, and I hurt him!" The convenience store clerk said, suddenly choking. "The robber, Mark McMahon. He did rob my store! He used the excuse of asking for change to force me to open the ATM and snatched the money! "
"He forgot to take the twenty dollars with him. He didn't really want to change it!" The clerk's tone became emotional and generous.
"I'm sorry, Spider-man. I was wrong. It was that guy's lawyer, the man named Carr, who found me. He knew that I needed money for my student loan. He gave me fifty thousand dollars to change my story! "
"For this money, I didn't tell the truth when I recorded my statement. I'm really sorry, really, really sorry. You've done so much for us. I call myself your fan, but I hurt you. "
"After recording this video, I'll go to the police station and turn myself in. I still want to apologize to you, Spider-man. I'm sorry. "
It was a two-minute video, but it caused an uproar on the Internet.
Now, the truth of the whole incident was almost clear. Carr was almost certain to have used illegal means to fight the case, and Mark McMahon's information was also turned up.
Because he often caused trouble when he was drunk and even injured his fellow workers at the docks, he had long been fired and unemployed. And there were several small criminal records before that. This is a complete bastard and a poor man.
There was no way he could afford to hire a big lawyer like Lucar, and it was even more impossible for him to have $50,000 as hush money.
The spearhead of the whole incident was turned to the originator of the political show, James, editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle.
Now the website of The Daily Bugle has completely exploded. Countless comments asking James to apologize to Spider-man are on the page. There are so many that the network administrator has no time to delete them.
James slumped weakly into his leather seat. He muttered in a low voice. "How could this be, how could this be."
And as Li Jie said, the good play has just begun. These things are just spontaneous things done by those who support Spider-man on the Internet.
Li Jie hasn't done it yet. It was just like what his Frank had said that day. He wants to step on the hero's reputation and use Spider-man as a stepping stone to the throne of New York City. Dream on!
You know, politics is always inseparable from capital. New York City has two of the world's top rich people, and both of them have a good relationship with him.
