The media industry in the United States is very developed. The concept of "press freedom" has been written into the U.S. Constitution. Today, press freedom has become a distinctive symbol of the democratic system. As a major democratic political right of citizens, in modern democratic systems
was generally confirmed.
but--
Yes, according to someone’s habits, there will definitely be a but at this time.
But the freedom of the press in the United States, like free trade in the United States, is also nonsense. Under the banner of "freedom", there are all kinds of "fake news" behind it.
It should be made clear here that "freedom" does not mean "objective neutrality." The American media is politically inclined, so the "freedom" here has lost its meaning.
Unlike The Times, which only states facts and lets readers make their own judgments about right and wrong, American news is mixed with a lot of private information and deliberately guides public opinion. The American media will frantically output things that are good for the United States, and things that are not good for the United States.
, the American media turned a blind eye.
This may also be part of "freedom", people have the freedom to report or not to report.
Even when reporting, people still have the freedom to choose their angle.
There is no discussion here about whether this form is good or not. It is an obvious fact that under the background of “press freedom”, capital can also freely penetrate into the media.
Roque has always attached great importance to the guidance of public opinion. The Times also has an American version. Many media in the United States also have southern African capital looming behind them. The reason why public opinion propaganda is a position means that if you don’t occupy it, the enemy will.
“Mr. President, are you trying to keep foreign goods out of the country to protect the interests of American companies at the expense of the interests of the American people?”
“Mr. President, do the federal government’s tariff barriers violate the free trade you have always advocated?”
“Mr. President, does the fact that the federal government does not lower tariffs mean that you have lost confidence in American companies?”
As soon as Coolidge appeared at the press conference, a lot of questions came to Coolidge that he could not answer. Now Coolidge was not only taciturn, he was simply autistic.
“Gentlemen, let’s come one by one—” White House Chief of Staff Thomas O’Neill maintained order, and the first person to call was Jimmy, the reporter of “Science Monitor”.
The full name of "Science Monitor" is "Christian Science Monitor". It was founded in November 1908 in Boston, Massachusetts by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Scientific Christianity. Although "Christian Science Monitor" has "Christ" in its name,
However, the "Christian Science Monitor" is not a purely religious newspaper, but a general newspaper oriented to the "secular".
Coolidge served as the governor of Massachusetts before becoming the president of the United States. The Science Monitor is a newspaper from Massachusetts. Thomas hoped that Jimmy would get off to a good start and not ask too sharp questions.
It's a pity that Jimmy disappointed Thomas. The first thing he said was: "Mr. President, if the federal government does not lower tariffs, does it mean that you have lost confidence in American companies?"
Oh, Massachusetts is not only home to Harvard and MIT, it is also the industrial center of the United States. The famous Springfield rifle is produced at the Springfield Arsenal in Massachusetts.
"No, I have full confidence in American enterprises. It has been 138 years since the founding of the United States. We have created an unparalleled economic miracle and become the largest industrial country in the world. Without the contributions of American enterprises, there would be no America today. The government will not lower its
Tariffs are not about losing confidence in American companies, but to protect the American people from the harm of cheap and inferior goods." Coolidge could not care about the friendship with southern Africa at this time, and wanted to get over the immediate issue first.
“So what if it’s not cheap and low-quality, but high-quality and low-priced?” Jimmy asked. This was big news, and it was rare for Coolidge to say so many words at once.
Coolidge was nicknamed "Silent Cal" (Cal means Calvin), and many people tried their best to make Coolidge talk more.
At a banquet, the poetess Dorothy Parker sat next to Coolidge. Parker said: "Your Excellency, I made a bet with others: I will definitely make you say more than two words."
Coolidge said: “You lose!”
When it was later reported that Coolidge had died, Parker asked: "How did you know that he was dead?"
The implication is: He doesn’t speak even when he is alive.
Silent Carr was not a fiction. Coolidge was indeed precious with his words. After answering Jimmy's first question, he turned a deaf ear to Jimmy's second question.
The first question was a bad start. Since no familiar person would give him face, Thomas chose an unfamiliar face next.
As a result, Thomas was even more desperate when the second reporter spoke.
"Your Excellency, I am a reporter from the Times of the United States. What I want to ask is whether you are under some pressure and are afraid to let go of tariff barriers. Does this mean that American companies are already at a disadvantage when competing with foreign companies?
Unfavorable situation?” The Times reporter changed the topic without changing the topic, and the topic still pointed directly at tariffs.
Surprisingly enough, The Times is not an American company, but an American branch of Times News Group.
The Times News Group is powerful. In the U.S. newspaper industry, The Times, as a serious news media, adheres to the purpose of "reporting facts independently and objectively" and "reporting history in development" and occupies an important position in the U.S. media industry.
status.
In addition to "The Times", Times News Group also owns the Voice of America, which focuses on broadcasting, and "Times", which was just founded the year before last, and plays an important role in the American media industry.
"If there is pressure, then the pressure comes from the responsibility of leading the United States to move forward. As the president of the United States, I must safeguard the interests of American companies, the American people, and the U.S. government. American companies have the courage to pioneer, actively innovate, and have great ideals and tenacity.
They have extraordinary courage and creativity, and are never afraid of any competition." Coolidge's answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters. Seeing that Coolidge had been avoiding the important and choosing the easy, the reporters raised their hands one after another, as if they had grown up in an eagle's nest.
A little eagle with its beak waiting to be fed.
“Last question——” Thomas chose a female reporter this time, hoping she would be gentler.
"Mr. President, my question is once the United States signs the Non-War Pact, will you still support the Mexican government in suppressing the rebels, and will you withdraw troops from Nicaragua and Haiti?" Thomas never expected that the woman would
The reporter's questions were more pointed.
Ever since the United States proposed the Monroe Doctrine, the United States has regarded the Americas as its own backyard.
In the 20th century, the United States stepped up its offensive in the Americas.
From 1899 to 1902, the United States occupied Cuba.
In 1903, the United States sent troops to Honduras and in the same year instigated Panama to secede from Colombia.

In 1912, the United States occupied Nicaragua.
In 1915, the United States occupied Haiti.
In 1916, the United States occupied Dominica.
The United States just withdrew its troops from the Dominican Republic last year. The reason for the withdrawal was not because of the conscience of the United States, but because it successfully established the pro-American Horacio Vazquez government in Dominica. That is why it withdrew its troops from the Dominican Republic.
Although Southern Africa behaves aggressively in southern Africa, compared with the United States, Southern Africa is simply an angel that is harmless to humans and animals.
“The Non-War Convention was signed to ensure the interests of the United States, not to add more restrictions to the United States.” Coolidge told the truth, Nicaragua and Haiti were not signatories of the Non-War Convention.
Similarly, the member states of the Southern African Union, with the exception of Southern Africa, are not signatories of the Convention on the Non-War.
After answering only three questions, Coolidge's press conference ended hastily.
It was then that Coolidge learned that at the same time he was holding a press conference, Rock was also holding a press conference at the Rhodesia Hotel.
Compared with the press conference at the White House, the press conference at the Rhodesia Hotel was full of relaxation and joy.
Journalists are the uncrowned kings. Roque has always treated reporters very well. When the reporters entered the press conference, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Roque thoughtfully prepared a small gift for each of them - a gift from Itno.
Custom gold pen.
It's not pure gold, it's just the tip of the pen inlaid with gold.
This is already an extraordinary act of generosity. You must know that nearly a hundred reporters attended Roque's press conference. Even if a gold pen is worth US$100, the sum of 100 reporters is not a small number.
Tables and chairs were also prepared at the press conference. Reporters could place their interview notebooks on the table and take notes calmly. Bottled water and a stack of snacks were also carefully prepared on the table. This immediately won Rock more favor.
.
The photojournalists were so busy that even before Rock showed up, they had already murdered a lot of negatives. American reporters had never seen this kind of press conference before. It was so generous and thoughtful. No wonder the British aristocrat was worthy of the crazy pursuit of the American upper class.
When Roque entered the press conference, the reporters immediately burst into warm applause.
Yang Smuts gave his first opportunity to Weilman, editor-in-chief of the American Times. The treatment was outrageous. No wonder the person who went to the White House was a stranger.
“My lord, why did you think of proposing the Non-War Pact?” Wehrman reciprocated. This was not a question at all, but a way for Rock to boast.
American reporters did not show any respect, and there were sporadic boos immediately.
This probably means: My ears have been washed, and you want me to listen to this?
"When I was in New York, I met a veteran of the World War. Although he was not one of my men, as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, he saluted me with his left arm that only had three fingers left.
Proper military salute—" Roque started telling stories, and the reporters finally fell silent.
Journalists in 1925 had never seen the "feelings" routine.
