Chapter 818 Controlling Public Opinion

"Then why didn't you come here earlier? This way my child wouldn't have died!" The old lady had no intention of stopping and continued to use the crutch in her hand to beat Clark. Although it didn't hurt, it was very insulting to Clark. powerful.

Clark snatched the crutch from the old lady's hand and broke it easily.

"I have to say, old lady, you gave me a whole new understanding of human nature." Clark was very careful when snatching the crutches, at least he just made the old lady sit on the ground.

After breaking his crutch, Clark flew away, leaving the old lady screaming.

It is a pity that this incident also attracted the attention of the media. The old lady later accepted interviews from the media and began to denounce Superman on TV media for his inaction that caused her child to be killed by the robbers.

There is no doubt that this incident has set off a new storm. There are many people who support Superman, but there are also many who criticize Superman. Some people think that this incident is essentially a case of robbers killing people, and that the robbers should be severely punished by the law.

Others feel that since Superman is a superhero, he should successfully rescue him, because many of Superman's activities are not legal activities - Superman may visit dozens of countries in one day, and there is no doubt that Superman never enters or exits through customs. .

At the same time, many arrest activities will cause some property losses to some extent. Everyone has already acquiesced in these losses. After all, even police rescues will still cause property losses.

But things are different now. Just point all the fingers at Superman.

For a time, Superman's reputation in the news media quickly became polarized. Some people felt that Superman should not suffer unjust injustice, but others felt that Superman's heroic actions were illegal, and he should naturally pay for the losses.

Clark removed the disguise on his face in frustration. He could only say that he was lucky that he listened to Su Xiuyu's suggestion and did not use his true face. Otherwise, with the huge news explosion, someone might be able to find out his identity.

In fact, the Umbrella Company is fully capable of blocking all Clark's identity data, but Clark does not want to do this. In most cases, Clark hopes that he is just an ordinary person.

Rather than a superpower.

"After dinner, Clark, do you plan to stay at the door until the end of time?" Su Xiuyu could sense Clark outside the door even without relying on vision.

Fortunately, after hesitating for a while, Clark walked in anyway.

The dinner was cooked by Diana herself, but the three people at the table ate in silence.

"Did Dad see the news?" Clark finally couldn't help but ask.

"See, are you talking about that old lady?"

"Ah."

"Feel aggrieved?"

"Yes." Of course Clark felt aggrieved. After all, she was kind enough to save people, and the murderer had nothing to do with her. Why would she blame herself for her son's death?

"I have already said that not everyone will be reasonable. Her son died, and she could not blame the kidnappers because the kidnappers were inhumane. She also could not blame the police, because if she hit the police with a cane, she would be punished. Police arrested."

"Only if she hits you with a cane, there is a high probability that you will have to endure it. You can't kill the old lady directly for such a trivial matter, and your conscience will not allow it. You are a good person, and you are not a law enforcement officer. The organization is easy to bully, so the old lady attacked you when she was sad and angry. "

"This is human nature - bullying the weak and fearing the strong. As for other news in the media, it is more normal. The media are all guys who are afraid of chaos in the world. As long as your news has traffic, it will be fine. As for whether you were wronged or whether you were slandered , these issues are not important.”

"You are an unknown superhero. Maybe others call you Superman, but in fact you do not have any law enforcement power. Those law enforcers think you are weak and can be bullied. Because you hide your head and show your tail."

"Just eat well at home, and you don't have to worry too much. No matter what the media says, you are still you. You are Clark, my and Diana's child, and you are not an ordinary person. Even if you want to, tomorrow This old lady will appear in court as the defendant."

"No need, she's just an old lady..." Clark looked a little embarrassed. After all, at his age, he was so aggrieved that he still needed enlightenment from his parents.

"Whether being a hero is your hobby or your career, you have to think clearly. Diana and I will not interfere with your choice, and you have plenty of time to think about it. Just figure out your own inner thoughts. Like this You will encounter things again in the future, even often, but if you have a clear conscience, what is there to worry about? "

"Okay, let's eat." Su Xiuyu didn't continue to educate Clark. After all, Clark was 30 years old now, so he didn't have to continue educating him about everything.

"At least Diana and I will always support you, so you don't have to think about it so much."

Clark felt very at ease during this dinner. At this time of inner turmoil, Clark knew that at least his parents were standing behind him.

The next day, Watt Company began PR for Clark. Of course, the PR content had no special technical content - many large media companies themselves were companies under the umbrella company. As soon as the umbrella company began to fail, both online media and traditional media began to promote Clark's hero. Deeds.

For a time, Clark's positive news directly suppressed the negative news, and the reputation of "Superman" was quickly reversed. In fact, Su Xiuyu had already anticipated this when he first adopted Clark.

Most ordinary people live in an information cocoon, and the information they can see and receive is limited. Human public opinion is easily manipulated, and even human beings' own concepts are very susceptible to changes and impacts from various ideological concepts.

When traditional media and online media were launched together, many people's opinions were drowned in the praise.

In particular, people who had been saved began to express their gratitude to "Superman" for saving him. After all, Clark was able to successfully save huge sudden disasters most of the time.

Clark is not stupid. After seeing the change in the direction of the media, he also knew that it was his parents who took action, otherwise public opinion would not have changed so quickly.

But this is a manifestation of fatherly and motherly love. Even if Clark knows that public opinion has been manipulated, he will not blame his parents.
