American Scandal King

Chapter 281 I Don’t Want the Pulitzer Prize
In the following days, Ian lived in Baghdad for a few days.

He also wants to do some exclusive interviews in Baghdad itself, which of course will not target the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by American soldiers, but will praise the US military.

For example, under the leadership of the Americans, Iraqi women were liberated. They no longer needed to wear headscarves, could study, work, and gained freedom... This part is actually true, and it is one of the few good things the Americans have done. Unfortunately, the Middle Eastern people do not appreciate it.

The complexity of the world lies in the fact that good and evil never exist in isolation.

The Iraq War is the biggest example.

It is true that Americans are invaders, it is true that Saddam is a tyrant, it is true that Americans massacred innocent people, but it is also true that they brought women's liberation to Iraq. Good and evil coexist, and then people report selectively.

What the public can see is always just what those in power want you to see.

Ian Carr led his team and did a good thing for the United States for the first time, promoting the justice of Americans. But to be honest, it has no value, after all, this is shared news.

The real hot topic is the days when Ian Carr traveled with Saddam. Every day, various secret inside stories were released.

On May 5, Carr Media and News Corporation released footage of a standoff between Uday and Saddam.

On May 5, the two major groups released content showing Saddam directing the confrontation from the presidential residence.

News does not follow a timeline, but constantly mobilizes public emotions as needed.

Today you see their brutality, tomorrow you see their foolishness and arrogance, the day after that, you see Saddam fleeing in panic, and a few days later, you see Saddam ordering the massacre of a village...

Every day, the news from Ian Carr stimulates the public's nerves, like a war blockbuster, presenting the real Saddam to the world.

People therefore despised, blamed and cursed Saddam, and were even more amazed at what Ian Carr did.

………………

"Although I've known for a long time that he's a lunatic, I still have to say he really is a lunatic."

"Ian Carr, a man born for news!"

"With him, the world is no longer lonely."

"I can't imagine how Saddam could allow Ian Carr to accompany him and interview him for so long. He's an American!"

"That's the charm of Ian Carr, he always convinces people."

"How did he convince himself?"

“It wasn’t in the news, but he did it anyway.”

"He is indeed a charming man. No wonder Scarlett and Britney are so obsessed with him."

"Fuck! Are you talking about Britney Spears? How come I didn't know this?"

"This is from CNN."

"The news from those guys can't be trusted!"

“But Ian Carr’s charm is believable!”

"Fuck! Ian Carl, I love you so much! Come on, fuck me, I'm willing to cooperate with you all the way..."

As expected, the comments went off topic, and Megan Fox became a familiar face again and again. The same went for girls like Ekaterina and Natasha.

In addition, there are comments from major media outlets.

FOX, CBS, Sky, LANN, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Los Angeles Herald, and USA Today all praise Ian, not to mention him. Even South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, Russia's Rossiyskaya Gazeta, and Japan's NHK all praise Ian, with the exception of TV Tokyo, which continues to broadcast the anime.

The New York Daily News commented:
"I only knew that a reporter could chase animals on the African savannah for years, but I never imagined that a reporter could track down a tyrant and conduct an accompanying interview. Ian Carr's greatness amazed all his colleagues."

It's rare that you aren't jealous this time.

Sing Tao Daily published a commentary:
“In the past, every time Ian Karl went on an adventure, there would be a girl accompanying him, but this time there was none.”

Yes, but they're all Iraqi girls, not worth cultivating. Why are you bringing this up? Has Sing Tao Daily also started to decline?

The Hingkollen Zeitung published a commentary:
"Saddam was captured because of Ian Carr. Ian Carr broke his promise to be a recorder and participated in a war. That's not a journalist's responsibility." Didn't I just lay off the staff? Why are you so sarcastic? Oh, and the new boss wasn't laying off staff, but because the newspaper wasn't making any money. Isn't that due to your management incompetence? Pah, you loser!

CNN News Network angrily denounced:

"Ian Carr prevented our reporters from filming the scene of Saddam's capture. This is news monopoly and interview hegemony!"

Don't be so petty, we are competitors. Stopping you is called successful defense!

ABC TV Network angrily denounced:

“Ian Carr has been monopolizing the news, which is unethical!”

The media's discussion of ethics is even more ridiculous than the US military's discussion of ethics! And can news be monopolized? Shameless, bah!

NBC said:
"The key to the problem lies in what exactly did Ian Carr promise Saddam that made Saddam agree to his accompanying interview, which ultimately led to his betrayal. Ian Carr may have betrayed the United States!"

Bah, so you think you can think independently? Even if I promised him that I was willing to assassinate George W. Bush, as long as I didn't do it, what can you do to me?

The CW said:
"Ian Carr is an excellent journalist, but I think he should focus more on running the business instead of always doing it himself. He constantly overshadows his own journalists. He cultivated the butterfly, but then competed for the glory that belonged to it. This is not what a business owner should do."

Openly criticize and secretly praise.

Murdoch is in contact with acquiring CW, so CW will not offend Ian Carr, but considering their current independence, they will not praise Ian too much to avoid conflicts with mainstream peers. Therefore, from a business management perspective, it is recommended that Ian consider operations more and take fewer risks.

It’s okay, he can talk.

But this in itself also shows that the hostility towards Ian from major media outlets is becoming increasingly serious.

They were really afraid of Ian Carr.

Maybe I should buy ABC, NBC, etc.?
Forget it, let’s sort out the funding issue first and then take it step by step.

Ian thought about it, and then called Gannett Group and suggested that they acquire the Huffington Post and the Wall Street Journal. He then called Murdoch and suggested that he acquire ABC and NBC.

The bosses on both sides were speechless after hearing this suggestion.

Do you really want to dominate the American media?
Although we want to, it's not easy.

Murdoch is now focusing on negotiating with CW, and NBC and ABC are basically out of the question, but Huffington Post still has a chance.

Forget about the Wall Street Journal, the chances are slim, and key economic reporting is certainly not Ian’s strong point…Financial reporting is not easy to create a plot!
As for China, the Southern and non-Southern factions finally reached a consensus and highly praised Ian Carl.

But if we talk about disgusting things, the southern ones are the most disgusting.

“What brings a reporter to the battlefield?”

“What makes a businessman walk with a tiger?”

"What makes Ian Carl Abyss walk?"

"It's a journalist's professional ethics, it's the uniquely American spirit of freedom, it's the great sentiment of a business owner, and it's the great sense of responsibility of being a human being."

"Ian Carr has a great sense of mission for the world. He is not afraid of hardships or life and death. His transcendent spirit is worth learning from for everyone..."

"This is the Time Magazine Person of the Year, the demeanor a future Pulitzer Prize winner should possess!"

In his office, Ian Carr looked at the Southern Department report and smiled slightly: "I like your evaluation, but this year's Pulitzer Prize belongs to Vincent."

Pulitzer is having a headache.

Ian Carr, you are the most suitable Pulitzer Prize winner. If you give up your reputation like this, people will say that we have shady dealings!

But Ian didn't care.

He hadn't promised Vincent a Pulitzer Prize, but Vincent did everything he could!
He truly reports with his life, and he has the right and the right to receive this award!
And my giving up the honor will only make my butterflies trust me more and risk their lives for me!

I don't want glory!

I just want money, power... life!
