873 verbal and written criticism
Everything Renly says is true; everything Entertainment Weekly says is false.
There is no so-called concert incident, no so-called Seattle incident, no so-called Natalie Portman incident, no so-called "Fast and Furious" incident, and no so-called "Hypegate" incident. All of it. , is just a fabrication made by "Entertainment Weekly" for its own selfishness, to entertain people to death, and to put profits first..
Not only that, but hidden behind these events is a more real and vivid "Renly Hall"”.
Silently persist in volunteer work, silently invest in music creation, silently strive for performance breakthroughs, and always be down-to-earth on the road of artists, moving forward with determination; "One person's concert" is not for hype or publicity, but for publicity. It's for a promise, a heartbreaking and even more regrettable promise.
However, it is such an artist who stands at the forefront of the storm, burdened with infamy, and has become the object of criticism. In the contemporary society where entertainment is played to death, it is so ironic, so absurd, so ridiculous, but so... Reality.
Standing at the intersection of time at this moment, looking back at every bit of the past week, all words disappeared in an instant. I was dumbfounded, ashamed, and at a loss..
Silence, after the truth came out, everyone fell into silence. It was because of shock, shame, and embarrassment. All the words were stuck in the throat, unable to happen, and unable to feel ashamed..
For the media, this is a shame, an insult even more humiliating than the witch trials; for netizens, this is a shock, and the arrogant face gradually begins to fall apart, revealing the fragility and insignificance hidden behind it..
This was not a slap, just an understatement of a back and an outline, but it was more ferocious and sharp than slaps and fists. It grabbed everyone's throats violently and neatly, and the burning in the stomach was under moral torture. , burning. What’s even more ridiculous is: do they have a moral bottom line?？
Can they act without conscience and pretend that nothing happened? Can they ignore it and continue to condemn Renly Hall? Can they become temporarily deaf and suddenly not care about "hypegate" at all, as if they have never been involved in it?？
Things took a 180-degree turn, and the light and shadow of reality and hypocrisy intertwined, reflecting the ins and outs of the "Hypegate" incident. The real malicious speculators gained both fame and fortune, while the real victims were in dire straits. This is not a magical reality. But the real society.
welcome to the 21st century！
After a long silence, a long period of depression, shame and embarrassment spread quietly. After coming to their senses, the media and netizens finally woke up. They had to respond, they had to fight back, so the overwhelming comments were like a flood. , coming in a surge.
curse, accuse, criticize, ridicule, rebuke.
All the spearheads, all the arrows, all the attacks were directed at "Entertainment Weekly", swamping them with lightning speed, leaving not even a trace of space to fight back..
The vanguard who bore the brunt was the "Rolling Stones"”.
This comprehensive magazine, which held high the banner of "anti-Renly", immediately issued a righteous statement, strongly condemning "Entertainment Weekly"'s ugly behavior of fabricating news and creating chaos, and considered it an insult to the entire journalism industry. , but also caused an indelible negative impact on the entire society..
At the end of the statement, "Rolling Stone" expressed its apology in brief words for publishing erroneous news without verification, and sincerely apologized to readers. However, the entire apology chapter only had three sentences, which was an understatement and a write-off. , completely ignoring their own responsibilities and faults, but firmly placing the blame on the head of "Entertainment Weekly".
However, now all the fingers are pointed at the culprit. The "Rolling Stones" with their wit and courage successfully handled the crisis and shifted the focus. Then, "Entertainment Weekly" fell into a situation where thousands of people criticized it and everyone betrayed them; more importantly, Even if "Entertainment Weekly" wants to drag "Rolling Stone" into the water, they are already overwhelmed and have too much to take care of themselves..
How brilliant and successful the harvest was at the beginning, but how bleak and terrible the current situation is..

The powerful momentum far exceeded the level of criticism directed at him a few days ago. It seemed that all the media couldn’t wait to join in Renly Hall’s criticism and questioning. In order to show their innocence, they all expressed strong condemnation..

Now, in order to highlight their professional ethics and get rid of previous negative reports, the media had to respond immediately to avoid getting burned, so, " "Entertainment Weekly" and Cornell became the best targets to deflect anger..
From entertainment media to social media, and further to political/political media, relevant reports have been carried out and relevant discussions have been launched..
“The ups and downs, ups and downs of "Hypegate" have truly put the media culture of entertainment to death and profit first on the table..
Although in the past ten years, the "Uncrowned King" has gradually stepped down from the altar, and his status, momentum and influence are no longer what they used to be. Relevant experts and related fields continue to discuss the social roots of this phenomenon; however, there has never been any Can really attract attention, but also fails to really attract attention.
This time, relying on the popularity of "Hypegate" and the momentum of the awards season, social scholars, media experts, and public figures have all stepped forward to express their positions, make remarks, and reiterate their opinions, hoping to attract more attention..
As a result, "Entertainment Weekly" and Cornell have become typical cases of negative teaching materials, triggering endless discussions with great vigor and power, and nailing them to the pillar of shame. It is foreseeable that this time the news The incident is likely to continue with "Entertainment Weekly" for a long time, and it will be impossible to get rid of it for life..
Such a trend, such a development, has indeed escaped control and gradually moved towards an unknown situation that no one can predict; only time and only history can see the impact of this incident..
Among them, the "New York Times" once again stole the limelight. Bradley Adams wrote an editorial titled, "Cornell McGregor: Another Stephen Glass"）！”
1998In 2016, a news fraud case occurred in the United States that shocked the entire North America and even the world..
Before the age of twenty-five, Stephen Glass worked at the popular New Republic magazine and wrote for other top media outlets, including the New York Times, making him a well-known journalist throughout New York..
But when he was twenty-five years old, because of an outrageous news report, people discovered that Stephen was suspected of falsification and completely fabricated the entire news out of thin air. Overnight, Stephen fell to the bottom..
After investigation, a total of more than 40 news reports were found. Stephen only fabricated, forged, recreated, and reprocessed a large number of reports into reports based on a small number of facts. Even a large number of names of people, places, and facts in the articles were It doesn't exist at all. This is not just fake news, it is completely fabricated news..
After the fraud case was revealed, it quickly became the most sensational case of the year, and Stephen completely left the journalism industry; at the same time, this also became the beginning of an era of entertainment to death - because Stephen's press releases, entertainment gimmicks, and hot topics were all The biggest bargaining chip for success. Later, this incident was filmed and made into a movie by Hollywood in 2003, "To hide the truth"”.
Now, Bradley puts Cornell McGregor and Stephen Glass together to discuss. Fourteen years later, entertaining oneself to death has become a social culture that deeply affects all aspects..
The article emphasized that in the culture of entertainment to death, reporters are no longer satisfied with breaking news, secrets and inside stories. They have even begun to fabricate facts, speculate on facts, deduce facts, "tell stories through pictures" or "imagine out of thin air" ", or "making things up", driven by enough interests, news is no longer news, but a novel script - still vulgar and inferior..
This is the case with this news event. The physical sales and online browsing data of "Entertainment Weekly" both hit new highs and achieved unimaginable returns. It was driven by enough profits that Cornell was willing to take risks and concoct a This incident was a fatal blow to the news industry, especially the entertainment industry..
“What’s even more cruel is that in the academy’s public relations during the awards season, rumors and hearsay can often become the key to changing reality. As a result, the slander and slander in Vanity Fair gradually entered the halls of elegance and became the pursuit of success. An effective means of profit and moral decay, disappearing in the glare of the spotlight..”
At the end of the article, Bradley pointed out but wrote meaningfully, triggering countless discussions.
