媒體真的給淳樸動真格了嗎?

(2016-09-22 08:34:53) 下一個
大家都說媒體不停地給淳樸(Donald Trump)較勁、作對、揭短,甚至攻擊、造謠、誹謗、誣陷,你的死敵一切可能出手的,媒體都做了。
 
媒體不停地給淳樸較勁、作對、揭短,甚至攻擊,都是真的,大家討厭淳樸,也是真的(就我所知大家私下猜測的,美國傳媒界10人9個討厭淳樸,包括狐狸台的),造謠、誹謗、誣陷嘛,還不至於。不過這是個片麵的看法。媒體也不停地給克林頓(Hillary Clinton)較勁、作對、揭短,甚至攻擊,比起淳樸是有過之無不及,前一個月淳樸痛改前非,每次出場都老老實實念稿子,這一來,媒體沒八卦說了,大家一擁而上給克林頓挖垃圾,克林頓也不是賢惠的那種,醜聞一大堆,啥都不順眼,啥都有嫌疑,你一推導,原來她這麽陰險惡毒,這麽黑。
舉個例子,《合作社》前一段時間費了老大勁給克林頓基金會揭短:
 
左媒不滿,攻擊:
 
《合作社》不服,接著辯護:
 
左媒還是有意見:
這一來,克林頓民意大跌,淳樸盡管也沒漲,一比,把克林頓比下去了。這一來,民主黨亂了陣腳,覺得天掉下來了。
 
克林頓的品德確實鮮為人道,一言一行看起來光明磊落,仔細推敲莫不暗懷鬼胎,得了病還要隱瞞,還要撐著,置美國人民於何地?就憑身材,淳樸那魁梧、那紅光,世上莫不視為天神,沒有他咱美國咋地回複昔日的偉大?
 
克林頓基金會機關之多,大家數落能過一輩子,可以之處數不勝數,就是沒找到什麽確鑿的證據說克林頓違法了,賣國了,隻能說克林頓的體製多可怕,機關城府多深,這麽多邪惡的東西就是找不到證據,不過這反而證明她有罪。
 
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.
 
克林頓舉止詭秘,行徑藏巧,公私難鑒,是非能力挽狂瀾之人,對此,我在為什麽不能投克林頓的票?一文裏不是說大批,而是痛罵了。
 
但可見媒體對克林頓一點兒也沒閑著,相反真正揭淳樸短的,就屬《華盛頓郵報》。《華郵》跟淳樸過不去是少有的,淳樸懷疑那是《華郵》老板傑夫·貝佐斯(Jeff Bezos,矽穀激進派)跟他過不去,要知道貝佐斯比淳樸有錢多了不是點點,而是一大截,比有錢,淳樸是比不過的,估計也不敢說“比你行”。貝佐斯有錢往下砸,《華郵》也就財大氣粗。
 
唯獨《華郵》不是等閑之輩,水平能力高人一截,報道實打實,完全建立在事實上,克林頓淳樸想逃也逃不掉,淳粉嘛自然幾個謠言就興高采烈,完全滿足,越想越恨,痛恨喜奶奶新仇舊恨重上心頭,鬥誌更加旺盛,《華郵》 此等左媒,說的自然是汙蔑,不足以信。
 
 
前幾天《華郵》刻苦地通過一份一分細讀淳樸慈善會的報告挖掘到淳樸的貓膩:
 
 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/r/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2016/09/11/National-Politics/Images/trumpfoundationchart.gif
 
 
不過淳樸應付媒體的招數自然不像個學徒(畢竟他是[飛黃騰達](The Apprentice)一劇的老大),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.”
 
“克林頓基金會那麽黑你們不去計較,反而來跟咱糾纏,咋多清白,你居心叵測,完全是惡語中傷”。(《華郵》列舉了對克林頓基金會的揭露抨擊,表達自己的公正,淳樸班子自然充耳不聞:A porous ethical wall between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department。)
 
在這之前,《華郵》舉了另外一個例子,淳樸玩弄詭計給佛羅裏達檢察官(AG)巧妙捐一筆錢,好讓她不起訴淳樸大學(Trump University)的不歸行徑:
 
 
這是簡單的違法,但因為是違法,得政府起訴、定罪,未定罪之前,淳樸自然抵賴。有一點,如果克林頓那麽壞,淳樸此行徑至少也屬不齒之類。
 
這些事件,其它媒體也報道,但及其膚淺,不願意花時間。從來沒見過媒體(電視到各大報紙,和無數的獨立網站)押下那麽多資源(人力物力金錢),而且人才濟濟,大家腦子快,精明,能言善辯;除了記者,專家參謀數不勝數,背後的技術、調研及寫作班子更是陣容鼎盛;龐大的信息網,先進的數據、模型,綜合分析、聯播;廣播模式更是誇張,聲樂圖像無不旨在達到吸引觀眾讀者最大效果。然而也從來沒見過媒體那麽浮躁,那麽顯淺,那麽誇張,那麽極端,總的,那麽無能。為什麽?
 
第一是世界變了。不論左媒右媒,皆乃金媒,背後還是金錢。舉例說,能不買廣告嗎?結果電視媒體幾十年來的潛規則“大家發表意見不呢能夠超過40秒鍾”成了顯規則,幾十秒能說清楚啥事兒呢?這點也不能怪電視台,觀眾不願意花時間,要花幾分鍾聽,煩,看看微信、臉譜社交就知道了。不是說大家都無能、沒腦子、不會思考,我說的多了,能人到處都是,隻是大家一是不願意思考,而是拒絕思考;大家想聽的想看的,是跟自己一致的東西。
 
第二,媒體以為自己厲害,淳樸看來像是油腔滑調,有時還支吾其詞,其實淳樸把大家耍了。
 
就是說,淳樸真的技高一籌,也難怪他遊刃有餘,令號八方。淳樸不是大放幾句厥詞,媒體以為釣到新的大魚,一撲而上,其實被淳樸轉移視線,讓大家把重要的都忘了。這是另外一個媒體無能的反應。再一個例子淳樸機會轉媒體條規空子,一是找幾個繡花枕頭(如Matt Lauer,老中叫這“文科生”),腦子真的不好使,照著稿子念,聽了答案也不知道啥意思,自然讓人逃之夭夭,二是知道電視台有時間限製,胡謅一把,把時間混過去,再精明的主持也沒招了(例子:Hellerman vs Conway)。
 
結果《華郵》費盡力氣挖出來醜聞,大家也說,但幾句就了事了。
 
《華郵》唯一能做的,就是大罵了:
 
 
淳陣一定是幸災樂禍,暗自嘲笑左媒無能。
 
不過《華郵》的還不是重磅炸彈,真的,大家還忙著追蹤雞毛蒜皮,沒工夫。
 
 
《新聞周刊》記者Kurt Eichenwald花了無數精力要搞清楚淳企(Trump Corporation)到底是什麽機構。淳企是淳樸生錢的唯一、主要機器,也是淳樸號稱其業績的基礎。Eichenwald說的,有大家都知道,卻置若罔聞的東西,如淳企其實是個皮包公司,啥也不生產,說”帶來了成千上萬“職位,言過其實。但那隻是個幌子。

淳幫老大全家福
 
淳企跟世界各國各種權貴富豪的瓜葛,真是千絲萬縷,可以說淳企之所以賺錢,離開這些,這些國家裏,被美國列為腐敗的極多:
 
“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倒不是指控淳樸違法犯罪了,但是淳企的黑,克林頓基金會成了小菜一碟,如果淳樸當選,他無法切斷國家和個人的金錢關係:
 
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.
 
不說別的,淳樸說自己拯救國家的宏圖大略整個謊言。淳樸對自己的背景一向簡單拒絕公開,連體檢、稅表都不交出來,其實即使交了稅表也未必有淳企任何信息,淳樸再三拒絕,莫非有難言之隱(譬如,《紐約客》Does Donald Trump Pay Any Income Taxes at All?)?
 
大家在乎嗎?自然不,都忙著抓鬼(Pokémon GO)去了,哪有時間?Eichenwald的文章很長,哪有功夫?晚上回來重溫對克林頓的恨,新的一天又有精神了。
 
Eichenwald一文見報幾天了,媒體自然也沒人提,對我來說意料之中。
 
昨晚美國公共電視台(PBS)是第一個主流媒體將此見報:
 
How Trump’s foreign dealings could pose conflicts of interest
 
媒體真的會給淳樸動真格嗎?難以置信。
