Washington gave America freedom, Lincoln gave civil liberties. As the rights of humanity and democracy gradually descended upon citizens, the world began to change, and so did the political parties. Freedom is the platform of the U.S. Constitution. Anyone who violates the Constitution is treason. In this film, traitors and accomplices cover the sky and stifle disputes on the spot. He kept saying that he would endanger the country, but in fact it was because of the president's irreversible wrong decision. It can be said that he put his own selfishness above the country. What is the difference between this kind of behavior and dictators, terrorists, and gang members?
Journalism is a sacred profession. It should not be said to advocate absolute controversy, but it is the right and duty of journalists to record the state of society. Because of journalists, people understand that there is still "justice" and "truth" in this world.
However, with the proliferation of social power, most of the journalists today have already lost their professional ethics, and those who refuse to bury their conscience and have lofty beliefs are deeply excluded and lead a miserable life. Some of them even become missing persons. .
I was once fortunate enough to be a reporter for an official media somewhere in China. At first, my dream was to become an honorable front-line reporter, but in reality, I spent two whole years wasting my time creating fake officials and using resources to grab business interests. In such a matter, his behavior can be said to be no different from unscrupulous businessmen. In the past two years, I gradually lost confidence in the profession of a journalist, lost my passion, lost my ideals, lost my ambitions, and finally left. Later, I experienced some nationally sensitive incidents. Although I did not suffer a serious prison sentence, the summons, interrogation, and law enforcement agencies made me lose even the last sincere patriotism. However, compared to my courage, there is a colleague who is unbearable to be a media lackey but insists on his ideals. Continuing his ideals in the southwest, northwest, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Nepal is an idol I have always been in awe of.
Prototype events of the film:
The prototype took place in the United States in 2005. The identity of the agent of the former ambassador to Iraq was exposed, Bush's decision to go to war over Iraqi weapons of mass destruction was questioned, and Miller, a female reporter for the New York Times, was accused of refusing to reveal the source. Sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court. At the end of September 2005, Miller was released after three months in prison because of the source's willingness to reveal his identity. The source is Lewis Libby, an aide to Vice President Cheney.
Miller's case caused great repercussions in the United States. The United States has been arguing over citing anonymous sources. The press believes that the identity of the source should be kept secret when communicating certain special information, but such a right has never been recognized by federal law. Journalists jailed for protecting their sources are common in the United States, but Miller's case has been rare in recent years.
