Chapter 489 Public Opinion Orientation
"Bang!"
In the editorial department of the Empire Times, Ryan personally brought several members of the personal guard to come to the door.
When he met Norton reporters, he slapped the latest issue of the Empire Times on the table.
Norton read the contents of the newspaper and said with a wry smile, "I had guessed that someone from the Provisional Government would come to you, but I didn't expect that Mr. Reinhardt would come in person."
Ryan said seriously with his hands folded and his chest, "Then you should know what I am going to do? Solve this, otherwise the promised rights to report freely in the Empire Times will be cancelled, so consider it yourself."
In this issue of the Empire Times, there is a sharp report on the ruling aristocrats in this ruling period, which focuses on His Majesty Yukent's family who was under house arrest in Carrel's departure from the palace.
This report added fuel to the fire and revealed the chaos in the early stages of the imperial capital occupation, and at the same time compared and satirized the luxurious dining of the territorial troops in various places with the "good" habits of the regular troops, which soon caused a huge response among the people.
The people of the imperial capital who had experienced that turmoil personally knew that the content of the report was a product of exaggeration, but the people in other regions were incited. Recently, the anti-noble atmosphere in the entire empire is gradually rising.
Norton pointed to the name of the report with a headache and said, "In fact, Santers, the editor-in-chief who decided to use this report and the reporter who wrote this false report have been dismissed by the newspaper chairman."
"After an investigation by the newspaper, these two people were members of the reformists. They were unwilling to let the aristocrats completely suppress the reformists now, so they took the risk of publishing this report in an attempt to arouse the indignation of the people."
Ryan snorted coldly, obviously not very satisfied with Norton's answer. "Just dismissal? Their fake news caused such a big uproar. You wouldn't think that just dismissal can redeem their sins, do you?"
"this……"
Norton said with a look of embarrassment, "In fact, both of them have escaped now, and they are said to have hid in..."
“The underground waterway…right?”
Ryan smiled and snapped his fingers. The short-term personal guard he formed immediately walked in from outside the door, a man in a messy dress.
One of them was about 50 years old, and his black head had already shown signs of grayness. At this time, he was looking at Ryan, who was sitting in the main seat with horror. He obviously had a certain prediction for his future.
The other person was much more energetic, and the red-headed young man was still struggling hard in the hands of the guards.
"Let me go! You group of noble lackeys, in the name of my grandfather, must expose your hypocritical faces!"
Ryan nodded slightly when he saw the inquiring eyes of the personal guard.
"Click!"
As the guards twisted hard, the reporter named Santers suddenly screamed like a pig.
"Hand! My hands ahhhh!"
Ryan looked at the guy's ugly posture of tears falling to the ground with disgust, turned to Norton, who looked a little pale, and said, "We will take these two people away. If the authority of the Empire Times is damaged in the future, please bear more, but..."
Ryan chuckled softly, "After all, it was the newspaper's lack of internal scrutiny that led to this serious public opinion deception. I hope you can learn from it in the future. I don't want to say the same thing again, do you understand?"
Norton sighed sadly, "Yes...I understand."
...
Next, Ryan doesn't need to personally ask about the handling of these two reformist media people.
After investigation by the personal guard, the young man named Santers, who was a little hotel on Arut Street, was acquired by the nobles since then.
This man joined the reformists very early and became the most radical part of the overthrow of nobles.
Coincidentally, when Kiddian was attacked by the editor, he and the editor-in-chief were behind the scenes.
This guy made G's reputation bad with a pen, but the protection of the reformists at that time did not allow him to receive the punishment he deserved.
Just when the empire was in unprecedented indignation for the nobles due to previous reports, the next day's supplementary Imperial Times immediately poured a basin of cold water on some people who were passionate about their blood.
Santers and the editor-in-chief accepted bribes from reform officials and fabricated news one by one.
Under the report of Norton, a neutral journalist, all the facts of the two using the reformists to protect themselves and hide their superiors and subordinates were exposed.
The young men who were clamoring to join the regular army yesterday to eliminate the nobles were suddenly silent. Amid the sound of their elders catching their ears, they were taken home to farm again.
This news fraud incident undoubtedly brought a certain blow to the credibility of the Empire Times. Other private newspapers with slightly inferior sales took the opportunity to rise and used this incident to criticize the Empire Times.
The reformists, who had been portrayed as a hero in the hearts of civilians, were also hit hard because of the truth being exposed this time.
Many people who have been learning the facts through newspapers have truly learned the inside story of the reformists. The heroes in their minds have such a dirty side.
Ryan's advisory group took the opportunity to win over some civil free media, allowing them to report many cases that had actually happened to the reformists before, including the son of the infamous president of the Imperial Capital Bank.
...
Time returned to that day, Carrel left the palace, Mayor Regniz put down the Empire Times in his hand, and said to Elyche and Elphin on the side with a wry smile, "It's not good... This half-true and half-false report will undoubtedly anger the nobles, and it will inevitably bring revenge from them."
"The image that the reformists strive to create... will gradually collapse in the hearts of the people."
As the mayor of the imperial capital, Carl Regniz knew very well that some scum who used the banner of reformists to do whatever they wanted. When he learned about the existence of such people, he would usually quietly exclude them from the power class.
But with the support of Prime Minister Osborne, the president of the Imperial Capital Bank sat so steadily that even the mayor of the Imperial Capital could not directly take him down, which made the second generation ancestor domineering in the Imperial Capital for so long.
This typical case will inevitably become the biggest black spot of the reformists, and will be supplemented by other similar cases...
As a child of a noble, Elysee had no good feelings for such reports that he wanted to discredit the image of a noble.
She frowned gently and said, "Hisser Regniz, this report is indeed too much. The imperial capital did not say so chaoticly in the newspapers at the beginning. It is also appropriate for the nobles to rectify such false reports?"
Elphin took a sip of the black tea, "Yes~ After all, the one who is in charge of the imperial capital now is Mirtilu's brother. I don't think Reinhardt will let the imperial capital go in chaos."
Regniz let go of the newspaper and sighed softly, "I'm afraid that the nobles will take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire..."
"Haha~ It seems that Uncle Regniz still sees everything very clearly even if he is away from the center of rights."
"Bang!"
The gate of the side palace of Ligong was opened, and a handsome noble man wearing a purple one-piece dress and a sea blue cloak came in.
The dazzling golden short looks particularly dazzling under the noon sunlight, and the warm smile on his face brings closer to the alienation brought by his noble temperament.
Ryan smiled and bowed and said, "Three, I haven't seen you for a long time. Today there will be special guests to visit you."
Then Ryan turned to the side and said to the person behind him, "Please come in, please try to keep quiet in front of Princess Elphin."
However, Ryan's reminder did not work at all. A young man with short green glasses rushed in immediately after obtaining permission, and another black man followed closely behind him.
"Father!"
