Chapter 169
Not long after, under the promotion of a person who is interested, an article in a third-rate tabloid that was once suppressed by the Ministry of Magic's use of its powers was once again published on the Prophet Daily after a series of twists and turns.
This is why people completely noticed what serious method Fauci, the Minister of Magic, who worked hard, did. What is most infuriating is that among the patient group who were forced to move out of the hospital, there were actually heroes who were personally identified by the Ministry of Magic - Frank Longbotton and Alice Longbotton.
They were all heroes who had made great efforts in the war against the Death Eaters, but were knocked down by the enemy's last madness in the darkness before dawn. Voldemort's two fanatical admirers used the Heart Spell to torture the two Aurors to the point of going crazy. Now they could not remember their families at all, and their work could only be placed in the St. Mungo Hospital for rest.
However, such a person was treated as a cunning rabbit and a dead dog. This undoubtedly aroused the anger of the masses. After confirming with St. Mungo Hospital, the letter complaining to the Ministry of Magic instantly flooded the Ministry of Magic's contact office.
The staff who handled the letter described the scene in this way - I originally thought that today was just one of the countless days, and another day of drinking tea and chatting, but when I opened the office window, I was shocked by the sea of owls outside. The letters came like a tide, almost every letter was sent by different people, and almost every letter was criticism and abuse.
Minister Fuji's face was dark and red at the time, and he immediately sent someone to throw the letters into the trash can.
He couldn't understand why it was obviously a great thing, but now it became like this.
“I need to meet Ritaskit.”
In the British magic world, the Minister of Magic is the local emperor. No matter how unpopular he is, as long as he is still the Minister, the Magic Parliament's supreme authorization for him will still exist.
So two hours after Fudge finished saying this, he met Rita Skit, a special correspondent of the Prophet Daily.
This editor-in-chief of Prophet Daily is second only to that of Prophet Daily. She has made many of the best-selling news in the newspaper. That's right, it's made.
Rita Skit is a person who likes to add fuel to the news based on his one-sided views without any investigation and evidence collection.
According to our current name, it should be called paparazzi, or some unscrupulous self-media people in the new era. They dare to say anything for traffic. This time, the reason why their Prophet Daily chose to fight against two sides is also based on this reason, because they only pursue higher traffic.
Rita Skit herself was obsessed with the power to ‘judgment’ others. Based on this, she gained influence in the magic world far beyond ordinary wizards. At some point, she often compared herself to Dumbledore and called herself Dumbledore in the press. Of course, the actual situation was naturally far behind.
When Foggy saw Rita, he began to complain to her. He didn't look like a minister of the Magic Department who held the power, but instead looked like an old man next door who complained about the world. He treated Rita Skit very well.
This attitude greatly benefited Rita Skit, and his self-esteem and vanity were unprecedentedly satisfied. Who is the person in front of him? Connelly Forge, the most powerful figure in the entire magic world, holds the power closest to the truth in the magic world - the Ministry of Magic.
However, even if it is such a person, he has to be polite to himself. How can this not make her proud?
Rita Skit couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable favor for Fudge.
"You look at your reports, which has had a huge impact on my work and has also caused great trouble to all of our Ministry of Magic staff. If you want, we can take you to see the staff at our reception desk and ask her how she handles such a huge amount of work.
To be honest, I must protest and criticize my false reports on the negative impact of the Ministry of Magic.”
Rita Skit asked with his head tilted, "So are you planning to interfere with the freedom of the press? I must solemnly warn you that freedom of the press and independence of the press are our pride as journalists and will not tolerate any blasphemy or infringement. Your actions have violated the relevant provisions of the Witcher Law. We have the right to report you to the Parliament."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I absolutely agree and support your cause. After all, its justice cannot be violated. But please allow me to say it, but I must also stand up and speak for our hard-working staff of the Ministry of Magic. This is also my duty as Minister of the Ministry of Magic.
My personal honor and disgrace are insignificant, but I must protect the reputation of my subordinates. I think you must agree with this."
Rita Skitter smiled and nodded, "Yes, so do you have anything to say?"
"Of course, that's what I'm asking you to come today.
I must declare to you that our Ministry of Magic is a complex and sophisticated machine. Our mission is to maintain peace and stability in the entire magic world. Even as the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, I have countless subordinates, and I still have endless things to do every day. I need a professional team to successfully maintain the operation of the entire Ministry of Magic.
I was injured due to some reasons and did not choose to rest. Instead, I worked while sick. It was because the Ministry of Magic was busy during this period, and I didn’t want to cause inconvenience to everyone due to personal reasons.
In fact, we have repeatedly confirmed to St. Mungo Hospital that moving our temporary institutions will not affect the normal operation of the hospital, and St. Mungo Magic Hospital also guaranteed me and my subordinates this way.
The problem is that our behavior has indeed caused a very bad impact. We must express our deep apology to the entire magic world. We solved the problem for everyone, but we accidentally caused such a big trouble. I am really sorry. If you want to punish me, please blame me alone."
Rita Skit wrote Fauge's words on the manuscript paper using an automatic shorthand feather note, while pretending to wipe his tears, saying, "You are really great."
"Where is there, if there is another real great man in our time, I think there will be only one, that is, our strongest white wizard, Albus Dumbledore. As for me, I am just a humble and lucky public servant, who carefully uses his power to benefit everyone."
"Oh, it's really a wonderful speech, but your speech seems to have completely ignored your responsibility."
"No, no, no, we will never evade responsibility. On the contrary, we have to take responsibility. I have decided to allocate funds to St. Mungo Hospital to build more wards, and to invite the Longbottoms back to the hospital, of course, so are the other patients.
And in order to praise the unparalleled supervision role of the media for our Ministry of Magic, we also intend to allocate another funding as our independent funding for news. I think the Prophet Daily, the media that contributes the most, should be able to obtain 80% of it."
"Such a rough payment? You are truly threatening our freedom as journalists! But every newspaper has it?" asked Rita Skitter.
"Every family!" Fuji focused his attention.
"This is much more reasonable, so can I ask how much allowance can I get for the impurities of "Singing the Spoken"?"
"Ten Garon."
Rita Skitter could no longer restrain the smile on his face and said, "Please allow me to express my most sincere respect to you on behalf of all the journalists. You are a good minister who is diligent, hardworking, dedicated and willing to admit mistakes and can correct them."
"Hahahaha, I think I can accept this title without any guilt..."
The new interview of "Prophet Daily" has indeed attracted widespread attention from everyone, and they all said that it is worthy of being you.
In fact, everyone is a man of the entire British magic press. Although the Prophet Daily sells the most, everyone knows that at most three of the ten words can be believed.
As for the rest of the newspapers, most of them are even more outrageous than the "Prophet Daily", such as "Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the Singing the S
For example, in one episode of "Singing the Contradictory" believed that the Ministry of Magic's Mysterious Affairs Department was specially used to allocate poisons to Minister of Magic Fauci to eliminate political enemies. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is simply impossible.
For example, the far-right "Witcher Battle" is even more unreliable. Its daily update is to blow the pure blood concept, belittle the mixed-race wizards, mock the muggles and squins who can't do anything, which makes people hate them, but the sales are pretty good, making the newspaper prosperous.
So in the wizarding world, everyone knows that newspapers are just for fun, unless there is a special issue of the contributor who writes some special names, such as Dumbledore or some people with a high reputation in the wizarding world.
This time, the back and forth jumps of the "Prophet Daily" made people realize what it means to be a fence-bearing.
As for "Singing the Contradictory", he has been targeted because he can't stand every Minister of Magic. After receiving the allowance from ten Jin Jialong this time, he was completely angry and attacked the Ministry of Magic with all his firepower.
"Is it a reward or a humiliation from the Ministry of Magic?"
The article tells the story of the Ministry of Magic distributing independent news allowances to the entire British magic circle, and posted the allocation ratio of the allowance in the article, questioning the Ministry of Magic whether they are enhancing the independence of the media or controlling the media.
But this time, "Singing the Contradictory" has no teammates because they are all counting money...
