Chapter 1206 1206 The Truth Is Revealed
The media has gone crazy. At this time, there are more than 200 reporters guarding Chandler's house in New Jersey. Since "News 60" broke the truth about the Michael Jackson incident, reporters from all over North America have begun to criticize the incident. Running wild in New Jersey, everyone hopes to interview the Chandler family as soon as possible.
Although it is said that CBS TV exclusively broke the tape, as many conspiracy theories say: the authenticity of the recording needs to be further verified, and the official statement of the Chandler family is also very important. Before the parties really admit it, everything is still unknown. It's as if even if the perpetrator is arrested during the crime, before the court pronounces the sentence, he can only say "criminal suspect". Conviction requires a final confession.
Therefore, all the reporters rushed over frantically, hoping to interview the Chandler family. Whether they deny it or admit it, the first-hand information is the most important!
After waiting all night, they finally ushered in hope, the door was opened, and a thin figure came out. The reporters were almost like a 100-meter sprint, and everyone rushed up like a tide. In an instant, the entire villa was like a tide of sardines, which made patients with intensive phobia shudder.
Jordan stumbled and pushed open the door. The sun at eight o'clock in the morning was not dazzling, and even a little too gentle. The faint warmth spread on the skin and relieved the stiff muscles little by little.
Jordan's eyes were a little hard to open. He kept looking directly at the sun and was reluctant to move away, because he needed the guidance of this light, and the darkness behind him was so terrifying that it seemed to devour him at any time. But Jordan's ears could clearly hear the surrounding noise, the reporter's sharp shouts came in a mess, all the voices intertwined, he could only vaguely hear a few scattered words, and the others turned into A "wow" sound challenged the limit of the eardrum.
What was even more frightening was that the sound of smashing heavy objects around him still did not stop. Although Jordan's body did not feel pain, the walls on his left and right sides were howling, which made Jordan's legs go weak in fear, as if the next It's like losing all strength in seconds.
The pressure finally completely overwhelmed Jordan.
From the day he began to lie, Jordan was under pressure all the time, under the pressure of his lies being exposed, under the pressure of witnessing Michael walk down the altar, under the pressure of media attention, under the pressure of his father's threats... Only God remembers, he was only thirteen years old at the time.
Now, all the pressure has been concentrated to a moment, and Jordan can't bear it anymore. He wants to get rid of it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lied, I lied, it was my father who asked me to lie, I lied!" Jordan covered his cheeks in pain, tears gushing frantically from his fingers, His voice seemed to be drowned out by the noise of the reporters, no one could hear his cries, but he could only do so, constantly muttering and repeating his review... repenting.
The reporters gradually quieted down. Instead of sympathizing with Jordan being fifteen years old, they heard Jordan's voice. A reporter broke free and placed the megaphone at Jordan's feet. Then Jordan's voice spread clearly. He came out, "Michael didn't molest me. He didn't violate me. It's all a lie, everything is a lie..."
In addition to 200 reporters and hundreds of fans, there were also live broadcast cars of CBS TV, Fox TV, and NBC TV. Except for ABC TV, which has been criticized for its news attention and response speed, all other TV stations were present. The incident was reported for a while.
Among them, Fox TV, the most astute, immediately interrupted the program that was being broadcast, and broadcasted Jordan's confession live with the title of "Breaking News". Although it lost to CBS in terms of exclusives, yesterday's CBS exclusives attracted a total of 15 million viewers, setting a record high in the ratings of American news TV programs, and making many competitors jealous; but today The smart decision of Fox TV allowed them to grab the viewing of 13 million viewers on the spot, no less.
"Jordan, what's going on?" Someone in the group of reporters broke the silence and shouted loudly, and the others immediately glared at the source of the sound, but the commotion only lasted for less than half a second, and everyone turned the Attention turned to Jordan again, eager to know the truth.
"I don't know, don't ask me, don't ask me," Jordan said bitterly. "Everything doesn't exist, everything is fake, Michael was so nice to me, he never assaulted me or tried to do This matter, everything is a lie, my dad forced me to lie, he forced me to lie so that he could blackmail Michael and let our family live a happy life, he forced me, he forced me all …”
There was an uproar. Or to be more precise, the audience was quiet and everyone was shocked. As Hugo said when he accused the media of a "witch trial", in the absence of any evidence, people came to a conclusion because of Jordan's one-sided remarks. Although Jordan was a minor, his testimony was highly valued. People should not ignore the adults standing behind minors.
The truth is so simple, yet so cruel.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" A frantic voice came from behind Jordan, and then he saw Jordan shrinking into a ball in fear, hiding to the side, and then trembling all over his body, clearly seeing the fear in his heart . Later, Jordan's father, Evan, appeared in front of the camera. He held the bottle of whisky in his left hand and waved his right fist, trying to teach Jordan a lesson, but he only gave Jordan two punches and found that something was wrong, which made His movements froze in place.
Evan turned his head slowly, stared stiffly at the surging crowd in front of him, and stayed where he was. The camera recorded all his actions, which indirectly confirmed everyone's speculation. The strength of his left hand loosened a little, and the wine bottle fell to the ground. In the silent scene, only the sound of the wine bottle turning around could be heard.
Pong, pong... clang... The wine bottle finally fell from the top of the stairs, making a crisp sound.
The truth is revealed.
All the arguments, all the controversies, all the doubts, come to an end. Although conspiracy theories still exist, some people always stubbornly believe that the Chandler family was under pressure from Michael Jackson to lie They believed all the facts they wanted to believe, that it was all a conspiracy, and that Michael was the devil behind the scenes; but in fact, most people were still shocked by the truth, according to a random sample survey conducted by Fox five days after the incident broke out. , more than 85 percent believed the truth, and then 11 percent felt that things needed further confirmation.
According to statistics, a total of 68 newspapers reported on the Michael Jackson incident that day, and this number will reach 313 in the next two weeks; a total of 91 magazines have reported on the truth of the matter. Reported, 62 of them covered on the cover; over 300 stations over 74,000 mentions of "Michael Jackson" over three days; NBC, CBS and ABC The three major TV stations, as well as Fox TV station, which rose to fame as a news station at this time, joined forces to convey the truth of the incident to more than 50 million viewers across the United States...
Under tremendous pressure, he came forward to testify that Michael was in love. child. La Toya, the obsessive sister, also accepted an interview with Fox TV. She said that the words she said at the time were completely forced by her husband and agent Jack Gordon, and announced that she officially retracted those attacks on Michael at that time. speech.
La Toya's interview further confirmed everyone's conjecture: Michael is innocent, from start to finish.
More than two-thirds of the U.S. is paying attention, even alarming President Bill Clinton. Clinton was asked this question in a university speech. He said that the Rodney King incident had already sounded the alarm for the government, and the news media, which was the last gate of public opinion monitoring, were now showing loopholes. The pursuit of interests often blinds the eyes, leading to the truth being blinded, and this Michael Jackson incident has made people deeply feel the pressure and persecution he bears as a public figure.
In his speech, Clinton also mentioned that in order to prevent the retrogressive phenomenon of witch trials from appearing in modern civilization, not only the government departments need to be vigilant, but also the news media should shoulder social responsibilities.
Once again, the news media was brought to the forefront, especially the New York Post and the National Enquirer, which had managed to get out of the shadows. The media poured down. And the "witch trial" proposed by Hugo was brought up again. Some people are lamenting the horror of being the uncrowned king. They can play with public opinion and kill people invisibly; some people are lamenting the turn of events. In the end, he finally gave Michael Jackson his innocence; some people were surprised at the wisdom of Hugo at the beginning, and he actually saw the truth of the matter through the fog...
Unintended by Hugo, he was once again the center of attention.
But as everyone expected, Michael Jackson never appeared at all. Even after the grievances were made clear, he still did not appear to clarify the facts, and he always hid in the European castle to adjust; and Hugo even more so, still insisted on the "seven The practice of refusing all interviews since the filming of "Sin" has caused countless media to fail.
In fact, for Hugo, the best gift is that the truth has finally been revealed, from the struggle and struggle during the half-year when the incident broke out, to the anxiety and depression when Michael chose to settle out of court, and then to the silence for nearly two years. It was boring and bitter. Although Hugo couldn't understand Michael's pain, he always had a regret. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't change the trajectory of history, which almost made Hugo question himself. Could Hugo Lancaster change history?"
Two years gave Hugo the confidence that he could! And now the truth of the Michael Jackson incident has been announced to the world 14 years in advance, and it has given Hugo the result, he can indeed!
