2. The investigator from the middle and rear sections threatened the reporter that if she dared to appear in court as a victim, then she would hear a wonderful "story of a reporter who endangered national security and killed a little girl's mother in order to win an award". This is really funny. Just saying that national security is always greater than freedom of speech, plus the little girl's mother will only weaken the logic of "prosecutors will definitely win". Because rachel's side can also play a better story card, the death of the little girl's mother can be attributed to cia's guilt, plus her own life, her own son, the freedom of speech and the future of the entire national media developing. . Just relying on the story alone may not necessarily win the prosecutor, not to mention Rachel's lawyer, the old man, should also be a super gold lawyer.
3. It was said in the middle that a cia agent stole the report for rachel to read. But according to the later hints in the film, I don't think there is such a person or such a thing at all. .
If it was the deputy chief of staff who told the reporter the news and showed her the report. . All I can say is that as a political worker, his anger lasts really long.
4. I'm not a supporter of the government, but I really don't think rachel should be excited to disclose this thing from the beginning.
Indeed, out of the reporter's instinct, when I heard such a big news, I must have wanted to quickly confirm it and then expose it.
But the question is, even if she finds out that this is the truth, has she investigated it, is it the whole truth? Partially true is the best lie many times.
She is simply incapable of investigating the complete truth. So, is she qualified to disclose some of the truth she accidentally learned to the people of the country?
The two cia agents said that she was not the only one who was sent to investigate the matter, but was the only one who came to this conclusion. So the president looked at multiple reports and chose the conclusion he felt was right. However, the female reporter only read one report, and with her zero experience in intelligence work, she chose to believe the report and spared no effort to expose it to the public. She was unaware of the existence of other reports, yet this ignorance led the nation in the wrong direction.
Government officials had all the information and came to a conclusion. The reporter classmate read a stolen report and felt that the conclusion was wrong. So she immediately forgot about all other possibilities, and decided that the president had deliberately distorted the facts, so she fearlessly sacrificed the personal safety of her neighbors, her family life, her own family happiness and national security, and decided to disclose it. If there is only one possibility of "the president lying," the costs may be worth it. But considering all other possibilities, the weighted benefits are probably far less than these costs.
Don't say "bring as much truth as possible (even if only part of the truth) to the people, and let the people choose and judge". Since time immemorial, people have made choices and judgments. . The intelligence distribution curve has always been a Gaussian distribution, not to mention that "three people become a tiger" is not a Chinese characteristic.
The so-called "meat eaters contempt", I'm not sure. But I'm sure, "the people" are contemptible. "Most people" are always stupid. The majority is always gullible.
So I don't support this "exposing one is one" mentality at all.
The eyes of the masses may be sharp, but the mind is definitely not.
If you really want to bring the truth to the masses, please be patient to investigate the whole truth. If you can't, shut your mouth and swallow the little truth you hear.
ps, the reporter's behavior is that, knowing that no one has leaked the secret except the person who turned himself in, he refuses to tell the government, causing everyone in the government to doubt each other and to spend infinite time and energy investigating another mutineer. Belongs to "people who know the truth but don't tell the reserve to know it".
But the funny thing is that just before that, she heard another "partial truth" and excitedly told it to most people who don't deserve to know it. .
