At this time, the entire corridor was divided into two parts with Hugo as the center. In front was a sea of ​​people formed by nearly a hundred reporters, and behind was the backing of radio staff and band members. Hugo, standing in the center, seemed like a lighthouse in the stormy waves, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

The teammates who stood behind Hugo's Glory to death, Henry and Samora, and the radio staff all looked at Hugo in front of him with a shock. At this moment, Hugo seemed to be the only person who grasped the truth. What he needed to face was opposition and resistance from the whole world. But even so, Hugo did not retreat at all and still tried his best to argue. At this moment, Hugo's figure was so tall and so firm.

This reminds everyone of the situation facing Glory to death. Their music is in confronting the entire society and the entire trend. They are the few people who have mastered the truth. Hugo implemented this tenacious and firm belief in every corner of the band. So Neil and Fujin took the lead and stood firmly behind Hugo. They did not have such excellent eloquence to help Hugo, but they were able to become Hugo's most solid backing.

Then Pedro and Alfonso walked forward and looked at the reporters in front of them with angry eyes, as if this was a battle without a way out. The reporters with bright eyes were the opponents who tried to swallow them alive. Even if they were bare-handed, they would never retreat!

Henry was standing beside Hugo. His lazy eyes kept looking at the reporters in front of him, quietly observing the expressions of these reporters, but a sensation broke out in his heart. This was the first time he was completely impressed by Hugo and completely. Samora stood behind Hugo with some trepidation. He didn't know the complicated things in the circle, but he kept a close reminder: Hugo was right! He looked at Hugo's stubborn back, and an indelible light appeared in his eyes.

The reporters standing in front looked at Hugo thoughtfully. Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts. Some people were thinking about how to use Hugo's words today to make a fuss. Now Hugo stands in the opposite direction of all news media. Unlike any previous incident, all news media need to unite, then Hugo will face a wave of media revenge that was a catastrophic disaster; some people were thinking about the reason why Hugo firmly supported Michael Jackson because Hugo knew the truth or for other reasons, which is worth exploring; some people were thinking about how to concoct the opposition between Hugo and Anthony, and Hugo's support for Michael.

Of course, more people are meditating on Hugo's words.

This is not the 21st century where fake news is overwhelming. After entering the Internet era, people's definition of media has undergone earth-shaking changes. The "uncrowned king" is no longer popular in the 21st century. Journalists have become the lowest-level job. The emergence of social networks such as blogs and Weibo has made everyone a source of news and everyone can become a reporter. Therefore, in the Internet era, fake news is simply a matter of repeated bans. Interests are the eternal goal of news.

But now, the "uncrowned king" is the supreme glory for journalists. How many journalists have fought for their whole life to win the Pulitzer Prize, and how many journalists have done everything to dig out the truth. The profession of "Reporter" is sacred and inviolable for many people.

Simply put, today's journalists still have conscience, shame, and ambition. Interests are important, but the truth is equally important.

So, at this time, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought when facing Hugo's wake.

But obviously, Hugo's words were not over yet, and his endless anger was completely vented with words, "Look at the actions you have done over the past few months. You are repeating the tragedy of the Rodney King incident. You just heard the turbulence and didn't seek verification at all, just reported according to your own ideas. What is your idea? Michael is guilty! It's not because of the evidence, nor because of how convincing the witness Jordan Chandler is, but because you want to see such a situation, you want to see the fall of a superstar like Michael, because it can sell more sales in your newspapers!"

"Your actions remind me of the dark years in medieval Europe. In order to consolidate its doctrine and belief, Christianity randomly judged ordinary women as witches, and then conducted judgments and burned them with fire. Do you remember the judgment of witches? Look at your past actions, Michael Jackson is the witch you mentioned. You judged him as a pagan just to protect your own interests, and then stripped him of all his rights as a normal person and watched him fall into hell alive. This is ridiculous. In the late 20th century, you can see the ridiculous facts of witch judgment again. Don't you feel shame?"

Witch judgment, also known as witch hunting, was one of the ways in which medieval Christians persecuted so-called pagans. Most of the victims were women, and the main purpose was to maintain the authority of the pope and eliminate heresy. Most of the "witches" executed were innocent women.

In medieval Europe, Christian doctrine believed that women should absolutely obey men, so the church belittled and vilified women, especially women with cultural knowledge or life skills such as pharmaceuticals, medicine, reading and writing, were not tolerated by the church. The church accused these women of witches, beheaded them and burned their bodies.

There was once a report interrogating the witch, "If the defendant lives an immoral life, then it certainly proves that she has contact with the devil; and if she is pious and dignified, then she is obviously disguising herself in order to use her piety to divert people's doubts about her devilish interactions and attending the witch club at night.

If she seemed afraid during the interrogation, then she was obviously guilty, and her conscience exposed him; if she believed that she was innocent and kept calm, then she was undoubtedly guilty: because the witches were used to lying shamelessly.

If she defends all the accusations, it proves her guilt; if she is afraid and despair, depressed and silent because of the extremely terrible false accusations made against her, this is already direct evidence of her guilt.

If an unfortunate woman rolls her eyes in pain when she is tortured, it means she is using her eyes to find her devil; and if her eyes are dull and motionless, it means she sees her devil and is looking at him.

If she finds that she can stand up to torture, it means that the devil can hold on to him, and therefore must torture her more severely; if she cannot bear it and dies under punishment, it means that the devil will let her die, making her unable to admit it and not reveal the secret."

In other words, no matter what the person under trial performs or reports, he will be sentenced to be a witch and will be sentenced to death. That is to say, as long as the church believes that the woman is a witch, then the crime is established regardless of whether there is evidence or not.

By the name of hunting witches, about 100,000 people were executed within three centuries, most of whom were women. This was the darkest period in the history of medieval Europe and the history of human civilization. This behavior, known as "witch judgment", was actually a cruel method of Christianity to deliberately persecute women in order to strengthen its rule.

In fact, whether it is the Rodney King incident or the Michael Jackson incident, the media plays the role of upholding justice, but what is hidden under their skin are the Christian faces in the Middle Ages who maintain their authority in order to strengthen their own rule.

The words were shouting "freedom of speech" and "truth is supreme", but the evidence they dug out was to safeguard the existence of their own views, not the real truth. The Rodney-Kim incident turned into a racial incident that was noticed all over the world, but the media still did not realize it and always felt that they were fulfilling their accusations.

The same is true for the Michael Jackson incident. The false evidence was proposed by the media. These evidences cannot be used in court because they have no authenticity and cannot be confirmed. However, the media published it as facts, thus guiding the views and attitudes of ordinary audiences. With the continuous harm of the media's public opinion, Michael Jackson became a "witch". Before the law gave a fair judgment, the media had already reached a conclusion and completed the trial.

"If you are going to uphold justice, if you are going to trial a crime, then please show it true evidence! Instead of just relying on some rumors to speculate there, and then using these false rumors to influence the thoughts of all ordinary people, thereby creating public opinion, and trying to use these public opinion to put pressure on the judiciary. Remember, you are just the news media, not the law! You do not have the right to make judgments!"

Hugo's words are no longer just targeting the "National Inquiry Newspaper", which has almost knocked down all the news media, but he was not afraid at all and still said with confidence. No reporter dared to refute it at the scene.

"Two centuries later, you can still see such a ridiculous thing as witch trial. This is a regression in the whole society! Don't you, the media journalists who claim to be the uncrowned kings feel ashamed? The truth, the truth, the truth, the goal you have been chasing, but now? Where is the truth? Where is the truth?"

Hugo's shocking voice kept echoing in the corridor. After he finished speaking, he calmly glanced at all the media in front of him. When he came into contact with Nicholas, he saw the look of praise in Nicholas's eyes. However, Hugo still did not pause at all. He glanced at all the media and confirmed that no one asked questions. Then he took a step and walked forward.

Was it alas, all the reporters spontaneously gave up a path in the middle. Anthony, who was originally standing next to him, was squeezed by the group of reporters who retreated and fell to the ground in a mess. Nearly one hundred reporters gave up a neat road, just watching Hugo walk forward calmly, then the team members who were glorious to death, and then the radio staff followed.

Papa, Hugo's calm and firm footsteps kept echoing in the corridor, and at the same time, they also echoed in the hearts of all journalists and media.
Chapter completed!
