The media should leapfrog cheap lyricism

Why can't such media influence happen in China? This is actually a very interesting question. One angle of thinking can be "the meaning of in-depth reporting."

New media is indeed flourishing. In theory, it is easier for people to learn new news, and more unreasonable things should stop appearing. However, the news of sexual assault has been exposed again and again, and then forgotten.

Imagine if everyone at Spotlight learned that 20 priests in Boston had sexually assaulted a little boy on the afternoon, and they posted the news on Twitter indignantly, what would happen in the end? It is conceivable that the anger is hard to commit, condemned, marched, and maybe a few priests will step down.

But then?

Parents in other regions would not even let their children pay attention to the clergy. For them, the sacred is still sacred, there is no doubt about it. Nothing in the system has been touched. Fundamentally, nothing has changed.

On the one hand, the professional quality of an excellent professional media lies in not spreading cheap lyric that lacks consideration, but in thoroughly revealing the root of the problem, how a system forms a chain of crimes. The target of pressure from the masses is ultimately focused on those who can fundamentally end the status quo.

This is "enlightening the wisdom of the people, removing the old and adding the new."

    Only the expression of coldness and restraint has the shocking effect of "listening to thunder in a silent place".

    3.5. It may be that the expectation was too high. I feel that the conflicts between the systems have not been filmed. Compared with the movies of the same type, it is not outstanding.

And the cardinal, um... you know, the cardinal, he might not be perfect. But we can't throw out all the good he's doing over a few bad apples. Now, you know, I'm bringing this up to you because I know this is Baron's idea. His agenda. I gotta tell you, I mean, honest to God, I mean, he doesn't care about this city the way we do. I mean, how could he?
