Since the establishment of the "American Journalists Association", it is no longer an easy task to set up a newspaper in the United States.

Of course, difficulties always vary from person to person. If there is party support from the Democratic Party behind it, it is still very easy to set up a newspaper.

The Echo was established in this context.

"If we follow normal channels, we will not be able to force the Echo to stop publishing in a short period of time. If we are too hasty, it will also have an impact on our reputation." Sammy Larkin was still relatively careful in this matter.

After the presidential election at the end of this year, the Senate will conduct a new round of re-elections. By then, Sammy Lakin will enter politics. At this critical moment, Sammy Lakin dare not let his reputation be damaged at all.

Unlike the "Gunpowder Association", although the "Reporter Association" has certain binding force on the newspaper, it cannot determine the life and death of the newspaper. After all, the "Reporter Association" does not control the market share, so Sami Larkin also feels difficult in the face of the "Echo" with the support of the Democratic Party.

"Even if it cannot be stopped, it cannot be made unscrupulous. It is best to try to squeeze out his market share. It is best to make him unable to sell a newspaper." Li Mu just called Samuel Tilden, and it is not convenient to do anything now.

"The problem is that the newspapers of Echo are not sold at all, but are given away. They don't care whether they have any income or not. Anyway, the Democratic Party provides them with a steady stream of funds." Sammy Lakin shook his head and smiled bitterly. Faced with such a freak, Sammy Lakin was helpless.

This cannot be blamed on Li Mu for not understanding the facts. Although Li Mu created Times, he still lacks understanding of the media industry in this era. In Li Mu's concept, the way for newspapers to make profits should be advertising revenue. Unexpectedly, the media industry in this era does not play according to the rules. "Echo" is backed by big investors like the Democratic Party, so he naturally doesn't care whether the newspaper itself makes money.

In fact, in the current media industry, apart from Time Magazine and Urban Beauty, there are indeed few newspapers that can take their own profits and losses. Most newspaper owners are playing tricks. They also have other businesses while running newspapers. Running a newspaper is more about promoting their own products, and it has almost nothing to do with the business methods of the media industry itself.

This is what the Echo newspaper is. It is a newspaper that has just been established this year. On the premise that Time Magazine almost monopolizes the market, if the Echo newspaper still has to spend money to buy it, they probably won’t even sell a thousand copies in each issue. Therefore, the Echo newspaper simply gave it for free. In order to fight against Li Mu’s public opinion offensive, the Democratic Party has also invested a lot.

"If you can make money on sales, then make money on printing. Does Echo have its own printing machine? If not, then find a way to make them unable to print a newspaper." Li Mu wanted to just cut off the firewood from the pot.

"They have their own printing press..." Sami Lakin's answer made Li Mu almost mad.

"They always need a printer to print newspapers, right?" Li Mu's patience was about to run out.

Nowadays, the printing presses are still in the mimeographing stage. If you want to print a newspaper, you must first write down the content you want to print on the oil paper before you can start printing.

Moreover, considering the characteristics of mimeographing, all fonts in newspapers must be written in the opposite direction, so stereotypes require certain skills and not everyone can play with them.

"Their printing is also Democrats..." It seems that Sammy Larkin has also done a lot of work and knows very well about the relevant situation.

"..." Li Mu didn't want to speak anymore, and he would curse others if he spoke again.

Sammy Larkin, who is about to enter politics, is also a figure. Li Mu's attitude towards him can no longer be to sway him. He still has to save some of his face.

Mason noticed that Li Mu's expression was unpleasant and finally found a chance to show off: "Let me go, I'll find some people to burn the newspaper..."

This is a good way to be quick and neat, but this idea is too nonsense when Li Mu and Samuel Tilden are already on the phone.

After thinking about it, Li Mu still picked up the phone and dialed it to Bresta.

"The Echo...is there this newspaper?" Bresta saw that he didn't like to study. He probably didn't have the habit of reading newspapers every day. Fortunately, Bresta's reaction was fast enough and he immediately came to his senses: "Don't let him publish it, right? It's okay."

It seems that the real police still need to come forward.

The next morning, as usual, Kenneth Communes arrived at the newspaper on time at 8 o'clock in the morning and prepared to start the day's work.

In the past, Kenneth Communes came to work in a rented carriage, but today it was different. Kenneth Communes came in a sedan, and there were three big men in black suits who came to work with Kenneth Communes. This was the temporary escort of Samuel Tilden last night.

It was the first time that Kenneth Communes came to work in a car for the first time in his life. He felt a little proud and satisfied, but at the same time he also felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. He was using the products of the Junma Group, but doing things for the Junma Group. It was impossible to be more unrestrained than this.

The headquarter of the newspaper "Echo" is a two-story building with a backyard. The two buildings in front are offices and the printing factory in the backyard. This is where Kenneth Communes's efforts have been done this year.

What made Kenneth Communes feel bad was that there was a large circle of people surrounding the headquarters of the Echo, and it seemed that something happened.

Three guards were squeezing into the crowd, and found a police officer directing two policemen to seal the gate of the Echo headquarters.

"What are you doing?" Kenneth Communs suddenly burst into anger.

It is not easy to make a fortune among national parties. Since the founding of Echo, Kenneth Communes has felt that his position within the Party has risen sharply. Perhaps it will not take long to make it possible for Communes to have the opportunity to enter the Democratic National Committee. Therefore, for Kenneth Communes now, the Echo is the ladder for Kenneth Communes to reach the sky.

But now someone wants to remove this ladder. It is conceivable how angry Kenneth Communes is.

"Are you Mr. Kenneth Communes?" The police officer raised his head and rolled his eyes impatiently when he looked at Kenneth Communes.

"Yes, I am, do you know what you are doing? Please stop your behavior immediately, otherwise I will complain to your director..." Kenneth Communes barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and he was still very rude to say it.

"What are we doing and don't need you to point fingers? As long as you know what you are doing..." The officer reached out and took out a seizure order from his chest pocket, swung past Kenneth Communes, and then said in an extremely impatient tone: "Please go to the police station with us, we need something to help investigate."

Go to the police station!

Kenneth Communes then remembered that the director of the New York City Police Department, Bresta, said that he had a close relationship with Li Mu, so the New York City Police Department was similar to that of Li Mu's own home. If he arrived at the police department, he still didn't know what was going to happen.

"What did I do? You can't wrongly a good person. If I can't get a reasonable explanation, then you can just wait for my lawyer's letter." With the support of the Democratic Party behind it, Kenneth Communes was naturally very tough.

Of course, lawyers are just talking, better than nothing. After all, this is New York, and Kenneth Communes' lawyers do not have much advantage in front of the New York police.

As for the lawyers in New York, don’t think about this. In New York, if Kenneth Communes’s prosecution was the New York City Police Department, there is probably no lawyer willing to serve Kenneth Communes.

No matter how much money you give...

"Sorry, I can't tell you now. You'll know when you arrive at the police station." After saying that, the police officer waved his hand, and the two policemen who had already sealed it came up and were about to arrest people.

"Wait..." The leading guard finally spoke, and at the same time made a gesture to another guard beside him, and the guard immediately turned around and left.

The police officer didn't care about the guard's small movements, and his eyes were still staring at Kenneth Conmuns.

"I'll introduce myself. My name is August Craigie. I'm currently serving in the state police. What reason do you want to take Mr. Kenneth Communes away?" August Craigie's expression was arrogant.

It turned out to be a state policeman, no wonder he had the confidence to come forward.

"Oh, state police... shouldn't you wear cowboy hats and horse boots? Why do you think the state police paid you a low salary and want to find a part-time job? Then you also need to find a reliable master. As for why we took Mr. Kenneth Communes away, I'm sorry I have nothing to say." The police officer was tough and did not save any face because August was a fellow traveler.

The state police and the city police are actually stirring spoons in the same bucket. In theory, even if they don’t like each other, they should be somewhat sympathetic. It is rare to have such tit-for-tat situations like now.

It is understandable that after all, the governor of New York is a Democrat and has now become a presidential candidate, while the mayor of New York City is a Republican, recognized as the first horse under Ulysses Grant. In this way, the relationship between the two sides can be imagined, and it is already very embarrassing to improperly catch up.

"Very good..." August was not angry, and smiled slightly and returned it to him with his own way: "I'm sorry, we also need Mr. Kenneth Communes to assist in the investigation."

After August finished speaking, he exchanged glances with another companion, turned around and took Kenneth Communes away.

Although August was not sure why the New York City Police Department took Kenneth Communes away, subconsciously, August felt that he could not just hand over Kenneth Communes to the New York City Police Department.

"Wait, wait, if you have something to do, if you need Mr. Kenneth Communes to assist in the investigation, you can apply to the city police department, but now you have to hand over Kenneth Communes to me. This is my territory, not yours, please understand this." The police officer was still tough. As he spoke, his hand had already held the copper whistle hanging around his neck. It seemed that as long as August wanted to take Kenneth Communes away, the police officer would blow the sirens.

The state police and the municipal police actually perform their own responsibilities and complement each other. Although the content of the responsibility is similar, the division of labor is slightly different.

The situation in New York State is special. In addition to the capital location, other states will also have some small cities and settlements. If joint operations are to be taken, state police will need to coordinate in the center.

The main body of New York State is New York City. If in a general sense, New York City is the New York City Police Department, and outside New York City is the state police territory.

The problem is that if New York State deducts New York City, there is almost no need for state police to exist, so over the years, New York State's state police have been a little unable to raise their heads in front of New York City police.

"Sorry, please don't interfere with our work." August insisted on taking Kenneth Communes away. At this time, August's colleagues had already driven the car. As long as Kenneth Communes could get Kenneth Communes into the car, August naturally had a way to take Kenneth Communes away.

"Don't move, raise your hands immediately, otherwise we will deal with it as a refusal to arrest." Three New York City policemen took out their guns and pulled the hammer unscrupulously. As long as the trigger is pulled, August and his group will immediately turn into hornet's nests.

August probably didn't expect that these New York police officers were so merciless in their work, and they openly pulled out guns on the street, which was the rhythm of being in a hurry.

The surrounding melon-eating crowd had a relish, but after three New York City policemen drew their guns, the melon-eating crowd immediately dispersed.

American police have no such thing as a household registration in the inner working class. As long as they are policemen, they are all criminal policemen. If they are resisting arrest, they really dare to shoot.

"Bastard, what do you want to do? Are you trying to provoke internal strife? I really hope that your damn pig brain knows what you are doing..." Although the Augustan did not dare to move, it did not prevent him from mocking him.

The state policeman is also a human being and feels frustrated when facing the gun. So after hearing the sound of the hammer being moved away, August's body was stiff, but he still raised his hand over his shoulder with a slow and steady movement, so that the three New York policemen could see clearly that there were no weapons in their hands.

"I'm thinking, and I don't need to report to you. If you have any opinions on how we work, then you are welcome to ask in person in front of our director. Now please give us Kenneth Communes." The New York police were also fearless. Even if the state police were looking for trouble, it would be no wonder that the three of them were on their heads.
