大家都说媒体不停地给淳朴(Donald Trump)较劲、作对、揭短,甚至攻击、造谣、诽谤、诬陷,你的死敌一切可能出手的,媒体都做了。
媒体不停地给淳朴较劲、作对、揭短,甚至攻击,都是真的,大家讨厌淳朴,也是真的(就我所知大家私下猜测的,美国传媒界10人9个讨厌淳朴,包括狐狸台的),造谣、诽谤、诬陷嘛,还不至于。不过这是个片面的看法。媒体也不停地给克林顿(Hillary Clinton)较劲、作对、揭短,甚至攻击,比起淳朴是有过之无不及,前一个月淳朴痛改前非,每次出场都老老实实念稿子,这一来,媒体没八卦说了,大家一拥而上给克林顿挖垃圾,克林顿也不是贤惠的那种,丑闻一大堆,啥都不顺眼,啥都有嫌疑,你一推导,原来她这么阴险恶毒,这么黑。
举个例子,《合作社》前一段时间费了老大劲给克林顿基金会揭短:
左媒不满,攻击:
《合作社》不服,接着辩护:
左媒还是有意见:
这一来,克林顿民意大跌,淳朴尽管也没涨,一比,把克林顿比下去了。这一来,民主党乱了阵脚,觉得天掉下来了。
克林顿的品德确实鲜为人道,一言一行看起来光明磊落,仔细推敲莫不暗怀鬼胎,得了病还要隐瞒,还要撑着,置美国人民于何地?就凭身材,淳朴那魁梧、那红光,世上莫不视为天神,没有他咱美国咋地回复昔日的伟大?
克林顿基金会机关之多,大家数落能过一辈子,可以之处数不胜数,就是没找到什么确凿的证据说克林顿违法了,卖国了,只能说克林顿的体制多可怕,机关城府多深,这么多邪恶的东西就是找不到证据,不过这反而证明她有罪。
最新例子:
The Fragrance Foundation, a trade group for the perfume industry, paid former President Bill Clinton $260,000 to give a speech in January 2014 that lasted less than an hour.
In the months after the talk, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation organized and partially funded an effort to get hundreds of farmers in Haiti to plant thousands of lime trees, a project designed to help both the impoverished farmers and the perfume and beverage industries, which had been hurt by a spike in lime prices caused by drought and crop blight.
The Clinton Foundation’s partner on the project was one of the world’s largest fragrance and flavoring suppliers, Firmenich International SA, along with the Swiss company’s U.S. charity. The Firmenich Charitable Foundation put up about $250,000 for the Haiti lime-tree project. Some of it went to a unit of the Clinton Foundation in Haiti and some to a charity recruited for the project that works with the Clinton Foundation in Haiti, records and interviews show.
......
The timing of Bill Clinton’s speech income, from a perfume trade group in which a large member would later benefit from a Clinton Foundation project in Haiti, represents the kind of overlapping of private and charitable interests that has become a political liability for his wife as she runs for office.
克林顿举止诡秘,行径藏巧,公私难鉴,是非能力挽狂澜之人,对此,我在
为什么不能投克林顿的票?一文里不是说大批,而是痛骂了。
但可见媒体对克林顿一点儿也没闲着,相反真正揭淳朴短的,就属《华盛顿邮报》。《华邮》跟淳朴过不去是少有的,淳朴怀疑那是《华邮》老板杰夫·贝佐斯(Jeff Bezos,硅谷激进派)跟他过不去,要知道贝佐斯比淳朴有钱多了不是点点,而是一大截,比有钱,淳朴是比不过的,估计也不敢说“比你行”。贝佐斯有钱往下砸,《华邮》也就财大气粗。
唯独《华邮》不是等闲之辈,水平能力高人一截,报道实打实,完全建立在事实上,克林顿淳朴想逃也逃不掉,淳粉嘛自然几个谣言就兴高采烈,完全满足,越想越恨,痛恨喜奶奶新仇旧恨重上心头,斗志更加旺盛,《华邮》 此等左媒,说的自然是污蔑,不足以信。
前几天《华邮》刻苦地通过一份一分细读淳朴慈善会的报告挖掘到淳朴的猫腻:
不过淳朴应付媒体的招数自然不像个学徒(毕竟他是[飞黄腾达](The Apprentice)一剧的老大),有一套法子。
In typical Washington Post fashion, they’ve gotten their facts wrong. It is the Clinton Foundation that is set up to make sure the Clintons personally enrich themselves by selling access and trading political favors. The Trump Foundation has no paid board, no management fees, no rent or overhead, and no family members on its payroll.
There was not, and could not be, any intent or motive for the Trump Foundation to make improper payments. All contributions are reported to the IRS, and all Foundation donations are publicly disclosed. Mr. Trump is generous both with his money and with his time. He has provided millions of dollars to fund his Foundation and a multitude of other charitable causes.
The Post’s reporting is peppered with inaccuracies and omissions from a biased reporter who is clearly intent on distracting attention away from the corrupt Clinton Foundation, a vehicle for the Clintons to peddle influence at the expense of the American people. Mr. Trump personally and the Trump Foundation, however, are staying focused on their charitable giving to veterans, the police, children and other deserving recipients.”
在这之前,《华邮》举了另外一个例子,淳朴玩弄诡计给佛罗里达检察官(AG)巧妙捐一笔钱,好让她不起诉淳朴大学(Trump University)的不归行径:
这是简单的违法,但因为是违法,得政府起诉、定罪,未定罪之前,淳朴自然抵赖。有一点,如果克林顿那么坏,淳朴此行径至少也属不齿之类。
这些事件,其它媒体也报道,但及其肤浅,不愿意花时间。从来没见过媒体(电视到各大报纸,和无数的独立网站)押下那么多资源(人力物力金钱),而且人才济济,大家脑子快,精明,能言善辩;除了记者,专家参谋数不胜数,背后的技术、调研及写作班子更是阵容鼎盛;庞大的信息网,先进的数据、模型,综合分析、联播;广播模式更是夸张,声乐图像无不旨在达到吸引观众读者最大效果。然而也从来没见过媒体那么浮躁,那么显浅,那么夸张,那么极端,总的,那么无能。为什么?
第一是世界变了。不论左媒右媒,皆乃金媒,背后还是金钱。举例说,能不买广告吗?结果电视媒体几十年来的潜规则“大家发表意见不呢能够超过40秒钟”成了显规则,几十秒能说清楚啥事儿呢?这点也不能怪电视台,观众不愿意花时间,要花几分钟听,烦,看看微信、脸谱社交就知道了。不是说大家都无能、没脑子、不会思考,我说的多了,能人到处都是,只是大家一是不愿意思考,而是拒绝思考;大家想听的想看的,是跟自己一致的东西。
第二,媒体以为自己厉害,淳朴看来像是油腔滑调,有时还支吾其词,其实淳朴把大家耍了。
就是说,淳朴真的技高一筹,也难怪他游刃有余,令号八方。淳朴不是大放几句厥词,媒体以为钓到新的大鱼,一扑而上,其实被淳朴转移视线,让大家把重要的都忘了。这是另外一个媒体无能的反应。再一个例子淳朴机会转媒体条规空子,一是找几个绣花枕头(如Matt Lauer,老中叫这“文科生”),脑子真的不好使,照着稿子念,听了答案也不知道啥意思,自然让人逃之夭夭,二是知道电视台有时间限制,胡诌一把,把时间混过去,再精明的主持也没招了(例子:Hellerman vs Conway)。
结果《华邮》费尽力气挖出来丑闻,大家也说,但几句就了事了。
《华邮》唯一能做的,就是大骂了:
淳阵一定是幸灾乐祸,暗自嘲笑左媒无能。
不过《华邮》的还不是重磅炸弹,真的,大家还忙着追踪鸡毛蒜皮,没工夫。
《新闻周刊》记者Kurt Eichenwald花了无数精力要搞清楚淳企(Trump Corporation)到底是什么机构。淳企是淳朴生钱的唯一、主要机器,也是淳朴号称其业绩的基础。Eichenwald说的,有大家都知道,却置若罔闻的东西,如淳企其实是个皮包公司,啥也不生产,说”带来了成千上万“职位,言过其实。但那只是个幌子。
淳帮老大全家福
淳企跟世界各国各种权贵富豪的瓜葛,真是千丝万缕,可以说淳企之所以赚钱,离开这些,这些国家里,被美国列为腐败的极多:
“he’s been basically selling his name out to people who will pay him, without, apparently, a lot of due diligence into who these people are. I mean, a great example is, he has a deal right now with a fellow in Azerbaijan whose father is a major government official who has been identified by American intelligence as money laundering for the Iranian military”
Eichenwald倒不是指控淳朴违法犯罪了,但是淳企的黑,克林顿基金会成了小菜一碟,如果淳朴当选,他无法切断国家和个人的金钱关系:
Trump’s too smart a businessman not to know that he’s lying on this one.
You know, you start off, he’s had three explanations. One is that he’s going to put the company in a blind trust. A blind trust is something where you take a portfolio of investments, give it to an independent person, who then handles your trading and your transactions, and you never know what’s in it.
Well, Trump is saying: I will put this one company in a blind trust.
He knows what’s in it. It’s that one company. There’s nobody independent managing it. It’s his children. When he says he will sever all ties to it, you can’t have a company where you’re getting financial benefits, your children are getting financial benefits, and your children are running the company and say, I have severed my ties on it.
大家在乎吗?自然不,都忙着抓鬼(Pokémon GO)去了,哪有时间?Eichenwald的文章很长,哪有功夫?晚上回来重温对克林顿的恨,新的一天又有精神了。
Eichenwald一文见报几天了,媒体自然也没人提,对我来说意料之中。
昨晚美国公共电视台(PBS)是第一个主流媒体将此见报:
How Trump’s foreign dealings could pose conflicts of interest
媒体真的会给淳朴动真格吗?难以置信。
