Of course, the reporter who was knocked out was also born and raised in New York.
However, a reporter who had received a bribe had betrayed his humanity and couldn't be considered a "person" at all.
This reporter also became the first cannon fodder of this incident and soon disappeared from people's sight.
The TV station he worked for announced that they had fired the temporary employee.
When the TV station broadcast the conflict, the host solemnly stated that the problems in the interview were the reporter's personal behavior and had nothing to do with the TV station's attitude.
At the same time, the TV station re-interviewed Mr. Bernard and his son, who was confirmed to be out of danger after the operation.
In this interview, the TV station not only donated 5,000 dollars to Bernard's son for charity, but also reviewed the rescue of the father and son with him.
In the broadcast, the hosts all had good things to say about Batman, which was why they were able to get rid of the title of "maggot's cesspool" from their own company.
This nickname, of course, came from Bernard's angry rebuke.
In their grief and anger, Batman's hardcore fans couldn't wait to give this title to the TV stations that dared to go against the tide.
After last time, this group of hardcore fans, who had been besieged by the entire internet and traditional media, refused to let anyone slander Batman.
The hardcore fans firmly believed that these people were all falsely accused by the government, and that maggots in the cesspool was the most suitable name for these people.
On the other hand, the media that these people were in was naturally a cesspool for maggots. The two complemented each other, which was why they were so bad.
The five major TV networks didn't really care about this title, but the current situation in America was a bit wrong.
Many people at the bottom of the social ladder were extremely disgusted with the government's launching of peaceful weapons.
After all, the only place in America more important than Manhattan was probably Washington DC.
If they could casually order Manhattan to be bombed this time, the government wouldn't mind implicating their city next time.
People in the media were very sensitive. They knew that the first to come out at a time like this would definitely become the target of the public's anger.
Cursing was not the main point. The main point was that the American people who were angry had a glorious tradition of rioting.
When there were too many people, it was easy to cause a riot.
When a riot broke out, it wouldn't be unusual for a few TV stations to be set on fire.
No TV station wanted to be the headline of someone else's news.
And this was just the impact of Batman's "departure" on the media.
In fact, the flat ground outside the entrance of the Odd Electronics building had changed drastically.
It was originally a circular fountain in front of the building. In the middle of the fountain, there was originally a statue of the founder of Locke Corporation.
The Odd Electrical Appliance Building and a dozen other buildings around it formed the Locke Centre complex. The Odd Electrical Appliance Building was the core of the complex.
The main purpose of building a fountain in Manhattan, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, was to erect a statue of the founder for the world to admire.
However, after the invasion of the Chitauri army, the statue was only left with two calves and a pedestal. It was even blown dozens of meters away.
The fountain also did not escape the fate of being destroyed. The water supply system was destroyed, and the entire fountain was smashed into a shallow pit.
This was the key to the battle of New York.
That was how all disasters started and ended.
The Dimensional Door was opened here, and countless Chitauri troops appeared from here and began to kill the people of New York.
The spatial door was closed here, and at the last moment, Batman charged into the encirclement of the Chitauri army with peaceful weapons.
It represented many deaths, and also represented the luck of the survivors.
It witnessed the birth of the tragedy and the "departure" of the first hero.
Therefore, it became a very normal but a little strange place — the place of worship.
Wreaths, notes, trinkets, and white candles filled the shallow pit and even spread out of it.
Just a day later, the municipal office shipped a white metal rack for people to place wreaths and other memorial items.
There were so many of them that even with the metal rack, it had to be transported by a large truck every day until it was filled with all sorts of things the next day.
At the same time, a cross-shaped staircase was laid in the shallow pit, making it convenient for people to light more white candles inside instead of climbing up and down with their hands and feet.
Since the evening of the end of the battle, there had been an endless stream of people coming here, and the candles were lit all night long.
Most of them were people with different expressions.
Some of them were wailing, some were sobbing, and some were crying silently.
There were also those who were cursing, those who were silent, those who were dancing, and those who were hitting their heads on the ground.
They might be here for their loved ones, or for their friends or close friends.
Many of them were still injured, but they looked lost. They stood far away in front of the shallow pit for a moment, then turned around and left.
Tony frowned as he stood on the circular platform and looked at the candlelight in the shallow pit below.
After a while, he summoned a keyboard and typed a line of words. "Do you know how I feel when I look at your portrait and the white candles around it?"
This sentence quickly appeared in the popular news comments section on a certain forum.
A moment later, there was a reply below it: "It's definitely not as strange as the feeling I have when I look at them."
Tony's lips moved. He wanted to complain, but in the end, he felt that there was nothing he could say.
In fact, most of the people there weren't there for Batman. They were really mourning their dead relatives and friends.
Perhaps Batman's "posthumous photo" was only hung there as a symbolic symbol.
After all, he wasn't a relative or friend of those people. Many people would sigh and feel sad for him, but they wouldn't be devastated.
After a moment of silence, Tony finally replied, "Are you sure we have to be so careful that we can't even talk directly?"
"It's much easier to monitor you than it is to monitor me, so this is the safest way for now."
Tony murmured to himself, "This guy is still so paranoid!"
Thinking about the current situation, he had to admit that it was better to be cautious.
Batman's "departure" greatly reduced the pressure that the two teams faced from the public.
It was still the same thing. A superhero who had saved millions of people had died, and no one could blame him for it.
With this layer of protection, it would be very difficult to target the two teams.
In a sense, Batman had indeed "sacrificed."
He had to "sacrifice" himself to protect the safety of the two teams to the greatest extent, because they were Batman's weaknesses.
Without Batman, these weaknesses lost most of their meaning.
Forcing them wouldn't resurrect Batman, much less make him take the blame.
Tony's mind raced as he asked, "Are you really not going to show up again?"
A smile flashed in Luke's eyes. "My friend once said this: They think it's flesh and blood under the mask, but it's actually a belief."
Tony was stunned as he pondered what that meant.
Luke then sent the second half of the sentence: "And faith can't be killed by bullets."
