American Fortune Life

? Regardless of whether this cartoon is intended to express the meaning of satirizing the White House economic stimulus package as "very bad", even chimpanzees can come up with similar solutions.

It is still really racist. This cartoon of killing a chimpanzee will occupy the focus of media and public attention in the United States for a period of time to come.

The convoy of Andy Smith and Ivana, who were already preparing to leave New York and flew to California, had just pulled out of the gate of the Long Island Manor, when they were surrounded by paparazzi and reporters squatting on both sides, blocking the convoy's way.

"Bang bang—"

Andy and Ivana, who were sitting in the car, had long been accustomed to the constantly being slapped on the car window and the camera lens sticking to the car window. They clasped their fingers and glanced sideways at the car window, then looked at each other and chatted with a smile. Take the case of Cliff House Liberty City.

Andy and Ivana understand how crazy these paparazzi reporters are. After all, there are too many things that can be hyped up in this cartoon of the New York Post. They all want to get the level of Andy and Ivana Some people's few words about the matter are used as the main news to increase the sales of the newspaper.

However, in the face of this politically incorrect incident, there is actually nothing to say. It is nothing more than a condemnation of the cartoon that "causes infinite associations". However, the "sequelae caused by the chimpanzee cartoon" has not yet begun to ferment. It is not something a smart person should do to 'far-fetched' label comics as racial discrimination, before things are generally clear. You can express your position on politically correct matters, but you must not rush to express it.

Politically correct, Andy really feels a lot about this.

With the entry of Ao Guanhai into the White House, Americans rejoiced. Although the term "nigger" with strong racial discrimination can only be used by black buddies themselves, "black" has long been a taboo word and can only be used " "African-Americans", but they still feel discriminated against because of the color of their skin, until Guanhai enters the White House, which also represents the victory of political correctness.

On topics involving race, gender and other differences between the strong and the weak, you either remain silent, or you can only speak from the standpoint of the weak, otherwise you will be suspected of discrimination. Qian rules.

In the United States, in any formal speech, the President of the United States must put his or her, his or hers and other rather sloppy word expressions on his lips. Even the talk shows that are often very poisonous in the United States, whether they are politicians or celebrities, are extremely sarcasm, but once racial discrimination, sexual discrimination, sexual discrimination, sex discrimination, etc. are involved, the consequences will be unimaginable.

I don’t know when political correctness became a moral standard,

Let everyone be cautious in words and deeds, and at the same time, it also makes some people hate "political correctness".

Of course, although political correctness is a bit overkill, it has caused some people's backlash, but without "political correctness", the world will be even worse!

When Andy and Ivana boarded their own Boeing 747, pierced the sky, and flew to California, the "New York Post" newspaper office was already full of protesters. Some people have publicly called for a boycott of the "New York Post" and The NAACP, a business that advertises in this media, held a press conference to demand the resignation of the editor-in-chief and threatened that if the New York Post "does not take disciplinary action," they will unite with all civil rights organizations across the United States. Boycott this newspaper.

Andy watched the whole process of the incident on the TV of the plane, and couldn't help but smiled at Ivana: "I don't know, just learned that Murdoch, who lost 6.4 billion US dollars last year, is feeling right now."

Ivana closed the magazine in her hand, raised the corner of her mouth, gave her man a charming look, and said, "Recently, the American newspaper industry has frequently gone bankrupt, and the outside world frequently buys newspapers for you, but they are more doubtful than supportive. After all, the few newspapers under you It’s also a loss.”

"Compared to News Corporation's newspaper department losing 3 billion US dollars, I am very happy that the newspapers under my umbrella have lost tens of millions in total. Besides, if this money is lost, it will be lost. Their role is not to spend money. Tens of millions can do it, a little money is all it takes, it’s just a loss, just keep them, and the right to speak is the most important thing.” Andy said indifferently, for the power of the media in his hands, he It is very important. Not only is he not afraid of losing money, he will continue to expand his media power.

"Recently, the "San Francisco Chronicle" and "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" are looking for buyers due to serious losses. Didn't Amanda tell you?" Ivana looked at Andy with a half-smile on her face, softly asked aloud.

Andy nodded without changing his face, then shook his head and said: "I know that the two newspapers are looking for buyers, but it's not Amanda who told me, it was Benneck, the CEO of the Hearst Group Called me to ask if I was interested in buying.

The "San Francisco Chronicle" is the largest newspaper in northern California. It has been in business for 144 years and has always been a part of the daily life of residents in the Bay Area. However, last year it suffered a huge loss of 50 million US dollars, and it is still bleeding. The loss so far this year is even higher than the same period last year. for serious.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer also continued to lose money, and Benneker told me that if it couldn't find a buyer, it planned to shut down.

To be honest, I am very interested in the "San Francisco Chronicle". After all, it is the only large-scale daily in the San Francisco area with a huge influence. With the addition of the "Los Angeles Daily", the direction of public opinion and the right to speak in the entire California can be further improved. controlled and influenced. "

Facing Andy, who was serious about her career, Ivana's cautiousness was directly crushed, and she became very interested in what Andy said. To be honest, she hoped that her man would become more and more mature than anyone else. The stronger it is, the economic power and social influence can evolve into power, and to a certain extent, it can replace political power.

"However, you also have to consider issues such as the sharp drop in advertising revenue and subscribers under the financial tsunami, and the impact of new media. To be honest, newspapers in big cities are facing a long-term dire environment. Economic recovery is one aspect, but we must also find ways to improve it. Business model." Ivana frowned and analyzed.

"Well, I want to turn the "San Francisco Chronicle" into an electronic version and reduce the number of paper publications. In the face of Silicon Valley, the paper media has indeed not adapted to the environment and rhythm there." Andy had thought about this before. Although all newspapers are launching electronic versions, they are currently running two lines in parallel. Most of them are paper publishing, and the electronic version is also free. He plans to use the "San Francisco Chronicle" as an experiment to start a paid electronic version of the newspaper Although the route is very risky, but with the influence of Silicon Valley, the chance of success will be very high.

Near noon, the Boeing 747—Vip Sky Palace landed smoothly on the runway of San Diego International Airport. Ivana, who had already taken off her winter clothes and put on her spring clothes, walked out of the cabin holding Andy's arm, feeling the bright sunshine, her face Showing a charming sweet smile.

"Let's go, honey, let's go home." Andy put his arms around Ivana's waist and carefully helped her down the gangway.
