What is news

This is a mid-range movie, like a steamed dish. Although the ingredients are a little scallion and ginger, the main ingredient is worthy of careful attention.

Don't make too many boring spoilers. For this film, what I am going to focus on is the truth that politicians, media, and the public finally learned, and the relationship between these three. I believe that all viewers who look forward to social progress will also recall these details.

The government and the people are naturally opposed, managers and managed, powerful groups and sand-like individuals. Of course, no matter what kind of government, they consciously confuse this opposition. In ancient times, the emperor kept a group of dog minions, and these dog minions were the "parent officials" of the common people. Until happiness brought sorrow, and the people did not live in life, Zhang San Li and four took the lead, then the chaos and the ruling began, and a new historical cycle began.

In modern times, this fig leaf has gradually become a bikini. The slogan of democracy and freedom has been chanted on the earth for hundreds of years. Many people have truly become or feel the masters of the country. But no matter which country it is in, the nature of the opposition between the government and the people has not changed much.

For the sake of convenience, the government would never want the people to know the whole truth. I, Sam, is going to send troops to Iraq. It is enough for your citizens to know that Saddam is a big bad guy. As for whether he has a nuclear bomb and whether he supports terrorism, I'm sorry. After the fight, I will gradually restore the truth to you (passive and reluctant). Anyway, under the anti-terrorism brand, the government can do many things that are contrary to the constitution, international law, and human justice.

The government has the CIA and Mossad. The truth has always been in the hands of these 007 and their leaders. The way for ordinary people to understand the truth, unless they have a relationship with 007, they can only rely on the public media. Of course, if you are really curious, you can also peep over the wall.

This film is like peeling off layers of foot wraps-forgive me for reminding you of the smelly, in fact, the foot wraps are not necessarily smelly. Just like this film, the process of showing the truth is so difficult. Journalists with conscience, they not only have a press card, but also have the courage and quality of 007, and they have sacrificed their lives to find the truth, and this truth directly points to the government's secretive activities.

As for reporters’ bosses, whether they can publish the truth or not depends on the results of the investor’s consultation-whether they can offend people who cannot be offended, and whether they can make money and credibility through the issuance. Note that it is an investor who makes the final decision. It is really evil capitalism!?

There is also a small new idea in the film, that is, the cooperation between bloggers and traditional newspapermen, and blogger's hunger for the truth, finally contributed to the paper and electronic pages. It can be seen that it is very difficult for personal blogs to have a future without the integration of the media. Why do you believe you without standing on the shoulders of giants?

Of course, the film also took a turn for the better, and it finally realized that the crime was not the government or the politician group, but a scheming senator who used various forces such as sex, lies, killers, and the media to realize personal desires. I don’t know if this film has been reviewed by the U.S. Department of Propaganda. Although a conspirator was found, it did not harm the federal government. If "one cut without cutting", it is enough to explain the main ideology and political consciousness of this Hollywood screenwriter.

Why can't you show the truth happily? That's because the truth is the foundation of truth and the decisive force in this world. There is no government for a thousand years, but only the eternal hearts of the people. It is the unremitting pursuit of truth and truth one after another that has promoted the advancement of science and technology and productivity, promoted philosophy, religion and mysticism, and incubated an increasingly rational and evolving government. Oh, it turns out that governments are the eggs laid by the truth, although they always want to be the bottoms of the truth.

Fortunately, when things come, there are always warriors trying to tear open the fig leaf, shouting that stinky underwear can’t cover the truth, just like this gladiator reporter who almost sacrificed, like a master who challenged the authority of the government from time to time in the old days. , Just like New Youth, Xinhua Daily and other newspapers and magazine publishing houses that dare to publish the truth and tell the truth.

As for the fact that news is a magical thing, when it comes to this, it is time to give a definition-news is the truth that has just been discovered, and you and I are willing to spread it after watching.

    The plot is actually relatively old-fashioned in Hollywood movies, and political games seem to have become the main theme of America style in old American movies. But the final truth at the end is also surprising, at least not in the end. In fact, what I want to say is that from the story itself, there are three stars at most, but because of the shining appearance of Russell Crowe, this gorgeous old man, it becomes five stars.

    Political struggles, journalists, conspiracy theories, just a few points that I like are enough, and the story is told fluently, although the final twist is still poor. And, I made up the story myself into a story about a college roommate falling in love with each other... The newspaper printing process at the end of the credits is great.

  • Cal McAffrey: The newspaper article he types reads: Three Deaths Tied to Gulf War Army Associate New evidence links Rep. Stephen Collins with the suspect in the killings of three people, including Sonia baker, the congressman's political researcher. When confronted by the Washington Globe with information tying him to suspect Robert Bingham, Collins admitted he had directed his former Army associate to follow Baker after learning that she was secretly on the payroll of military contractor PointCorp. Collins, the chairman of the committee investigating PointCorp's government deals, said he authorized Bingham only "to observe" Baker. He said he never intended for her to be harmed. "He just did it," Collins said of Bingham. "He seemed more upset about what she was doing than I was." When police went to arrest Bingham at his Northern Virginia apartment last night, he was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A rifle was next to his body. Investigators said they believe Bingham pushed Baker to her death under a Metro train earlier this week and later shot two witnesses, Deshaun Stagg and Vernon Sando, to silence them.

  • Cal McAffrey: Mornin'...

    Cameron Lynne: So? Where are we, was he nobbing her or not?

    Cal McAffrey: Morning, Cam...

    Cameron Lynne: That's funny about you. Every time your friend runs for re-election or conducts a hearing, you drop his name to me until we give him some coverage... but he finally does something that actually might sell some newspapers, you render mute. It's, it's - incongruous!

    Cal McAffrey: No, it's not... it's inconsistent.

    Cameron Lynne: Pfff, don't be an ass. What do you think? Those are the ideas for our facelift. I know, I know... it's crap! Our new owners have this odd idea that we ought to be turning a profit.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah, well I hear our online site is doing great. I mean, not that I get to notice that sort of thing. I've been here what, uhh... fifteen years? I use a sixteen year old computer... she's been here fifteen minutes and she can launch a Russian satellite with the gear she's got.

    Cameron Lynne: Yeah, she told me you behaved like a pig.

    Cal McAffrey: That's too strong.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, pig-ish.

    Cal McAffrey: I showed her a little snout, uhuh.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, I happen to like miss Della Frye... and yes, I did send her down there to winkle something out of you. She's hungry, she's cheap and she churns up copy every hour.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah, I now... I'm overfed, I'm too expensive and I take way too long.

    Cameron Lynne: Yes, you do.

    Cal McAffrey: I was Stephen Collins' room-mate in college... I don't live with him now.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, that's a shame isn't it.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah... 'cause I could sell some newspapers.
