Chapter 1919: Not That I'm Too Strong, But That My Opponent Is Too Stupid!

The New York Court officially accepted the Andy Smith Corps of Lawyers to file a lawsuit against the New York Post to fabricate facts and fabricate rumours when the entire United States, and indeed the world, was living in the luxury of the Andy family with a 'sterilize before you hold a child' trap.

The indictment was issued in The New York Post as an offensive xing statement that was inconsistent with the facts and caused reputational damage to Andy Smith and his family, which was extremely damaging, and the Court was requested to hold the New York Post legally responsible and to eliminate the negative effects and compensate for moral damages in the total amount of $1 billion.

As soon as this news and the heavenly price compensation is revealed, the entire United States is silent, and the rest of the media is excited to begin to report on the competition between the two media kings, which is definitely a protracted media war and media feast, while the crowd of gourds are happy to wait for the big gourd to fall.

All sorts of stories, all the more arrogant news, many legal people came forward to say that there was little hope of success for The New York Post, because the questioning at the end of the story was indeed full of malice or for a newborn baby. Unless the New York Post has sufficient evidence to prove that the statements made in the press reports are true. Otherwise, damages would be lost, and the New York Post would probably fail to deliver $1 billion and would only go bankrupt.

In fact, most people who read that article know that the New York Post story, I'm afraid, is very low in real xing, even if some of it is real, but they can't prove it with evidence and witnesses, unless they can prove it with the Andy Smith family's daily living video, which is, without a doubt, impossible.

The United States has long been guilty of defamation, both written and verbal. By the end of the 1980s, due to the emergence of electronic media, offensive language that was publicly and maliciously published (i.e. seen or heard by persons above third parties) did not conform to the facts was one of the criteria for defining the crime of defamation.

This time, freedom of expression may not really serve as a shield for the New York Post. Freedom of opinion means freedom of expression for individuals and the media. Commentators can express their opinions and opinions on a person, a company or an event in all its aspects, including personal preferences, ethical standards and social influences. Freedom of expression does not, however, amount to false accusations against an individual or company by maliciously fabricating facts and fabricating rumours.

Because malicious factual accusations are extremely harmful, such defamation is published in a manner that appears to present the true facts and is very easily misleading to the general public. Thus, United States law defines factual allegations very strictly.

Rupert Murdoch, who first got the news, sniffed at the lawsuit. Since he started working for the media, the lawsuit has long been a routine for him and his news group. Who hasn't had a bar?

For these rich people, it's really not a shame to fight. What? Little hope of winning? Then drag, drag for three years and five years, drag everyone to tired, annoying, add to the uncertainty, maybe one day it will be reconciled, that's all.

Although Andy Smith may not necessarily compromise this time, Murdoch has prepared the Bar for a protracted battle, and the old fox has long predicted other means of striking Andy Smith.

Andy Smith's ability to do harm to him and the news group is nothing more than ‘eavesdropping on scandals' once, but how is it possible to fall twice in the same place after eating an old fox who has already lost money last time?

“You're sure you've cleaned up that thing in England, right?” In the office, Murdoch looked seriously at his son James and asked.

“OK, sweep all the tails. ”

“Well, in the meantime, let the finance team, keep an eye on the financial markets, and I'm worried he'll do an article on the stock market!” Murdoch's eyes shrugged, indifferently saying that, although he was not afraid to touch Andy Smith, there would not be contempt as he had initially done, and now Andy Smith, no one could be underestimated.

Likewise, Andy is not a fool, and naturally he won't be using the 'eavesdropping scandal' in his hands as a killer. The old fox has sent the biggest stabbing reporter to God, and it can be seen how simple and crude the sweep job is.

However, news groups are like a sieve, not just one pus rotten meat is a fatal weakness, and eavesdropping scandals, in Andy's view, is just a turning point in the Murdoch media empire's decades of operation in the UK, not a period of deep crisis.

On 3 August, a senior British police officer investigating the ‘eavesdropping' reported that Sun News, under the Murdoch News Group, had gone deep into the newspaper's deep-rooted operations centre and that newspaper deals had involved police, military, health workers and government officials, and that a British official had made a profit of £80,000 over the past few years.

One stone triggered a thousand waves, the original eavesdropping scandal could not be investigated because of the delay, so it bored the press group up and down the UK a bit and lost interest, and fell back into the 'buy news' scandal, which undoubtedly served to fuel the fire, especially the content exposed by this buy news scandal, is the real investigation content.

And this scandal of real gold and silver spending money to buy news, in the British media, politics, the police have generated a huge response, and once again, the ‘eavesdropping scandal’, which was once again brought to the attention of the public. After all, both incidents involved issues such as media professional conduct, improper police relations and complex political media relations, making it increasingly difficult to calm down.

The storm in the UK was just the beginning of Andy's plan. After all, the United States and the UK were still across the Atlantic, and even though those stories did affect the decline in stock prices of news groups, they did not maximize the benefits of making a profit.

To be perfectly honest, the real duel point where you died, or Wall Street! In America!

So, in New York, USA, on a news interview program on NBC TV, former Fox News Channel executive Dan Cooper faced a shooting that Fox News Channel, a news group, has a dedicated qing newspaper division at its headquarters in New York that monitors its employees and competitors.

“ Most people think that the department may be just a simple research department on Fox News Channel. In practice, however, it is an intelligence agency and the department in charge of 'black’ operations, so obtaining phone records is a small dish for them. ”

Cooper also revealed that he had helped to establish this highly confidential institution. The institution consists of 15 “researchers” with a guard at the door. Those who work there are not allowed to talk to each other.

Faced with the allegations, Fox News soon came forward to formally deny them and accuse Cooper of spreading lies.

However, the American public was also somewhat overwhelmed by the constant outbursts of news, when the most credible New York Observer in the Manhattan region reported using an American investigator as a source that the World News had attempted to purchase private telephone records for the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

As soon as the story came out, American public opinion was loud and the whole of New York was angry.

“ I'm afraid you'll be disappointed that the story is true and that the source of the news is very reliable. ”Andy stood in front of the landing window with a smile in his mouth, his fingers pressed down the shutters, his eyes squinting, some reporters and editors of the Los Angeles Times who responded to the union's protest on the street downstairs, but spoke very seriously, solemnly to the other side of the phone.

“Unforgivable! I can hardly imagine how“ despicable ”the idea of“ someone "trying to locate the phone records or voicemail messages of the victims and missing persons prior to the attacks and eavesdropping on the victims' families' calls after the tragedy. This must be investigated. This is America, not Britain! ”

“There is indeed a need for a statement, after all, that many of our neighbours on Long Island lost their loved ones in that disaster.” Andy stunned Murdoch's eyes because Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee on the other side of the phone, came not only from Long Island, but also because his loved ones were killed in the disaster.

“I will ask the FBI to intervene in a wiretap scandal investigation! Fucking Tuscan villain... ”

Listening to the sloppy curse on the phone, Andy's smile on his face grew brighter and the cold light in his eyes became more fierce.
