I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

In the seven-second video, Yu Wen never mentioned "contemporary journalists" or "all journalists" from beginning to end.

However, not many people are actually willing to click on the full interview.

Most people only saw the deliberately enlarged title and the clearly stated sentence in the image.

A few minutes later, a second self-media outlet reposted the content.

The title was also changed on a whim.

[Yu Huashi angrily denounces the news industry: They're all a bunch of rumor-mongering dogs feeding shit to AI models]

A dozen minutes later, the third account shortened the video again, leaving only the last half sentence of Yu Wen.

Yu Huashi verbally abused all reporters.

By the fourth repost, even the "insults" had been replaced with "declaration of war".

Yu Huashi declares war on the news industry

Different versions of the video quickly spread across the StarNet.

Someone rewrote the subtitles, changing "those who draw conclusions first and then look for materials" to "contemporary journalists";

Someone placed Yu Wen's picture among a row of press cards;

Some accounts even used a generated model to create an accompanying image.

In the footage, a group of people wearing press passes are seen lying on the ground, stuffing a blurry black object into a news model.

A line of small text was also added below the image.

[News production scene.]

In less than an hour, "the rumor-monger who feeds poop to models" surged to the top of the StarNet trending topics list.

The topic summary model automatically generates a description based on the content with the highest dissemination volume.

In a recent interview, Yu Huashi referred to contemporary journalists as "rumor-mongering dogs that feed excrement to models," sparking widespread controversy.

This summary appears on the personal information pages of tens of millions of people.

As for who edited the initial seven seconds, not many people care anymore.

Many people didn't even click on the topic.

A quick glance at the summary was enough to know what Yu Huashi "said".

The comment section quickly exploded.

Holy crap, this person really doesn't care about their mouth anymore.

[It's so dirty, but strangely fitting, what's going on?]

[Predicted trending word of the year: Feeding a model poop.]

[No, he really insulted all the reporters?]

[It's already on the trending list, how can you wrongly accuse him?]

[The author of "Running for Governor" has just finished writing a sequel.]

[Teacher Yu's attacks cover the entire industry today.]

Some people quickly realized something was wrong.

Wait a minute, what about the question? What about that long paragraph at the beginning?

[He clearly said that the account was used to draw conclusions first and then gather materials. Who raised their hand to claim it on behalf of all the reporters?]

[Just after saying "What you see is what others want you to see," they immediately gave you a live demonstration.]

[Seven seconds to know the truth, ten seconds to choose sides—that's internet efficiency.]

Before the thirty-four witnesses had even left the room, twelve media outlets were already lining up to publish their stories in the novel.

The questioning did not cool down the topic.

The debate quickly shifted from "what exactly did Yu Wen say" to "whether Yu Wen was qualified to say that."

Several news commentators subsequently published lengthy articles.

One of them admitted that Yu Wen's original words were indeed clearly limited and not directed at the entire news industry.

But the article takes a sharp turn in the next paragraph.

Even if Yu Huashi was only targeting "a few accounts," such vulgar language would still incite hostility towards the news industry among the audience.

Another media outlet focused its attention on Yu Wen's identity.

From "To Live" to "The Old Man and the Sea," the news media provided Yu Huashi with a great deal of coverage and exposure. Now, however, he uses vulgar language to insult journalists.

The comments below the article are more direct than the main text.

[They exploit the traffic for personal gain and then turn their backs on us; what a classic example of an ingrate.]

[Has he become a public mentor just because he's written a few books?]

Don't give me that "some" excuse; if you're going to criticize, don't play games with scope.

[The fans are starting to defend the incident frame by frame again; they should tone down their fandom mentality.]

[He's talking about people spreading rumors, why are you all so drawn to it?]

[I'm in a panic! I'm in a panic!]

By the afternoon, the accounts that had first forwarded and edited the video had stopped discussing the original words.

They started asking another question.

Should Yu Huashi apologize to journalists?

A poll appeared quickly below the topic.

Support for the apology rose rapidly, while opponents were equally vocal.

[An apology is recommended, as his statement was indeed incomplete.]

Yes, the account names should be read aloud one by one to avoid accidental penalties.

This generation of netizens is really sarcastic.

Stop being sarcastic; insulting someone is insulting someone.

[He called them "rumor-mongers," why are you professionally empathizing with him?]

Don't ask, just assume it applies to you.

The cross-regional public news channel quickly released the full clip.

There was no editing, no summary.

From the time Zhou Hailan asked the question to the time Yu Wen gave the answer, it took a total of two minutes and seventeen seconds.

The channel also included a verification code for the original file below the video, allowing anyone to confirm that the content had not been modified.

However, the full clip spread much faster than the seven-second video.

Someone forwarded it to the bottom of the trending list, and the reply they received was:

[I've already seen it, it doesn't stop him from swearing.]

[We've already called them "rumor-mongers," so what's there to defend?]

The key point is the attitude, not the context.

[Two minutes and seventeen seconds? Anyone have time to watch this? I'd like to save some data.]

A few seconds later, an automatic summary appeared in the reply area.

Yu Huashi believes that some news accounts rely on models to mass-produce false information and use insulting language to criticize it.

Someone casually shared this summary.

In the next round of transmission, "part" disappeared again.

[Yu Huashi admits to using insulting language to attack news accounts.]

Later on, even "news accounts" became "a group of journalists".

By evening, the matter had little to do with the original video.

Those who are willing to read the full interview already know the cause and effect.

Those who didn't want to watch started repeatedly emphasizing one sentence:

Regardless of what he said before, did he swear?

That evening, twelve media accounts jointly released an open letter.

The open letter acknowledges that some video titles on the internet "may contain inaccuracies in their wording."

However, they believe that this does not cover up the fact that Yu Wen used insulting language in public interviews.

The open letter concluded by stating:

Journalists can accept supervision and criticism, but they should not be degraded as "rumor-mongering dogs that feed feces to models."

We demand that Mr. Yu Huashi retract his remarks and issue a public apology to the journalists who were hurt.

Less than ten minutes after the open letter was released, the new topic became a trending topic.

[Yu Huashi, apologize!!!]
