Chapter 1548: Perfunctory (1/2)
When Pablo stepped out of the door of the newspaper, he finally released a statement overnight, directly hanging on the website and headline, and also on the social account.
The statement reads:
We have noticed controversy on the Internet about what our reporter Pablo has posted on social platforms recently. After investigation and verification, Pablo's interviewee, Meyers, did not tell the truth in front of the camera because of the maintenance of the home team, and Pablo posted the content on Facebook without rigorous verification.
Although Facebook is Pablo's private platform, this newspaper also reprints part of it because of its trust in its professional behavior. Here, our newspaper sincerely apologizes to the public for the bad impact it caused. We deeply regret the approach of Mr. Meyers. This newspaper has always followed the principle of truthfulness of the news and strongly condemned dishonesty.
Mr. Pablo has resigned and approved because of serious mistakes in his work. We wish Mr. Pablo all the best in his future career path!
Finally, thanks again for the supervision of public opinion, this newspaper will strengthen the content review in the future to prevent similar mistakes from occurring again.
The time to hang out this apology statement was about four in the morning local time in Barcelona. There were not many people who saw it for the first time. Xia Ruofei also went to the bedroom to rest after reading the news.
Xia Ruofei saw this statement only after waking up the next morning.
In fact, in the reports of major sports media in Europe, it has been criticized indecently, especially in the Madrid region, and it is even more sarcastic. But anyway, it can be regarded as a way of reluctantly justifying. As to whether others believe it or not, it is not important anymore, and it won't be credit bankruptcy.
This news broke late last night. In addition to the media industry, which has a person to monitor public opinion, in fact, many people only wake up in the morning to see the news. From this perspective, although the statement was released a few hours later, it was time-sensitive. Not too far behind.
Just in the face of the overwhelming coverage of sports media throughout Europe, the statement seemed so pale and weak, more and more people saw the news after getting up in the morning and participated in the discussion.
One of the most unpleasant is naturally the Barcelona fans. When Pablo posted the video interviewing Meyers, the Barcelona fans really raised their eyebrows and exhaled, but when they turned around, they found that it was true. Fake news, whether it was deliberately made by Pablo or Meyers lied. In short, the content of this interview video is fake, which is beyond doubt, and the most important thing is that Ruby was in a press conference All the accusations are true, for Barcelona fans, this is really too bad.
Therefore, the storm of public opinion is still blowing, and it is getting worse.
However, Xia Ruofei was very upset when he saw this statement.
Every effort was made to clarify the relationship. This Xia Ruofei was not unexpected, and anyone would do it instead.
What Xia Ruofei couldn't accept was that in the statement, there was no apology like the Spaniards and Ruby himself, and it was nothing to mention that they mocked Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei. You know, the fake video of Pablo in the past two days was reprinted for the first time, and I also wrote a review article, which was extremely ridiculous to the Spaniards, and the words were bitter and mean. Now things are reversed But they pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Although the apology was also expressed in the statement, it was only an understatement, and the object of apology was actually ”the public”, which is simply a little bit of sincerity.
Xia Ruofei looked at the comments of the official Facebook Internet users calmly, Barcelona fans must be in an awkward silence at this time, while other neutral fans have commented, and many people said that this statement is simply a continuation of lies. And the apology lacks the most basic sincerity. The Spaniards should be the one who should be most apologyed, but they said nothing, the kind of arrogant and rude expression made people sick.
Seeing the following comments from netizens, the overall direction is to blame, Xia Ruofei's mood is slightly better.
At this moment, his cell phone on the night table rang.
Xia Ruofei didn't get up, reached out his hand, and ingested the phone over the air.
This is Zhou Leiyun's phone call. After Xia Ruofei answered, he said lightly, ”Zhou, get up so early!”
Zhou Leiyun said, ”General Manager Xia, have you seen the statement issued?”
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, ”I'm watching! This group of grandchildren is really not sincere! Don't say shirk responsibility, apologize and play word games.”
Zhou Leiyun also scolded: ”The pro-Barça media have this virtue, they just look down on our Spanish club in their hearts!”
”What are you going to do?” Xia Ruofei asked with interest.
”They don't want to get confused!” Zhou Leiyun said, ”Now the public opinion is almost one-sided, and they are all supporting us! Are there still big doubts about whether they deliberately fake? Xia, I want the club to hold a news right away. At the press conference, we severely condemned and strongly demanded that they apologize to the club, otherwise we reserve the right to sue because they have already caused a great negative impact on the club's reputation! ”
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”Now we are on the side of the victim and the side of justice, there is nothing wrong with doing this, and absolutely no one can blame us.”
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei spoke again and said, ”However, I still recommend not to be hasty. Still, that sentence will let public opinion fly for a while!”
Zhou Leiyun hesitated slightly and asked in puzzlement: ”General Manager Xia, it is now clear that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, they do not recognize the production of fake news. As for the flaws in the so-called audit checkpoints, how the public sprayed them, they did not respond. This public opinion will always pass. At that time, we will come out again to hold a press conference. Will there be no current heat? ”
”Public opinion naturally passes. No one can maintain a high degree of attention at any time.” Xia Ruofei said with a smile. ”But in my opinion, this time the public opinion has not yet reached its peak.”
”Oh?” Zhou Leiyun asked with interest, ”Xia always thinks that there will be new developments in the future?”
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, ”Sure! Now that such a perfunctory statement is thrown out, it is considered that they gave the public an account of Pablo's dismissal and distressed, and if he is smart, he should not jump out at this time to recruit It's dark, but the Barcelona club can't pretend to be dead? They can pretend that they haven't seen the news drama, but the core of this matter is the water jet incident at the Camp Nou! Now we have thrown evidence, already It's a real hammer! Can they pretend that nothing happened? Isn't that detrimental to the image of the universe team? Therefore, Barcelona must be out of crisis public relations! ”
”Make sense” Zhou Leiyun thoughtfully.
