Chapter 855 (1/2)

ABC executives couldn't believe their eyes when they got the ratings data. It reached a staggering 35%, that is, more than one-third of the people watched the interview wherever ABC can cover.

What figure is this? It is the same in the United States and the Super Bowl finals, and the ratings are higher than those in the finals of any other sports academy event. Even the inauguration of the president did not have such high ratings.

In the non-U.S. areas that ABC Radio and television can cover, it is even higher than any TV program. It seems that people also pay attention to current affairs and politics, but they have not found that point to attract the public before.

The popularity of the program made ABC executives very happy and strengthened their faith. To create an ace program in current affairs and politics, let Alice be the host.

Alice's fate changed because of an interview. To a large extent, we should thank Bao Shoufu for virtually changing the career planning of a beautiful host.

The success of the ABC talk show annoyed the other two families. At this time, the other two executives are being criticized by the board of directors, and still dare not refute that.

For the first time in the history of American media companies, NBC and CBS board of directors cast a vote of no confidence in their CEO. Not only that; The programs of ABC Radio and television company also affect the senior management of the United States. President Reagan has just finished watching the program. As the head of state of a great power, it is not easy to watch a program completely.

Turning off the TV, Reagan said to William Joseph Casey, ”what does Turner want to do and who allows him to be on this TV program.”

William Joseph Casey; The 11th director of the CIA; He is also the current director. It is generally believed that his six years at the CIA is the second peak after Alan Dulles.

However, William Joseph Casey was also hoodwinked at this time, and the CIA was mainly responsible for espionage in foreign countries. Admiral Turner is not only a admiral, but also a former director of the CIA. If you dare to send someone to watch him, it will undoubtedly break the rules.

William Joseph Casey didn't have the courage. After all, he also had a time to retire. Stay on the front line and see each other in the future. He can monitor his predecessor today and will his successor monitor him when he retires tomorrow.

Seeing William Casey's wronged face, Reagan didn't say much. After all, even he has no right to send someone to monitor the admiral, the former director of the CIA. That will inevitably lead to contradictions between the two parties, and no one can afford the anger of the other party.

Reagan smiled and said, ”I don't mean to blame you. Admiral Turner's identity is too unforgettable. This time, I didn't say anything that would affect the national strategy. I can't guarantee that it won't happen next time. We should still persuade him that he is a senior general of the Navy, not a commentator. ”

As for Fleming, Reagan didn't say much. After all, he had already agreed to introduce some information about China to the public. As for the means of publicity, that is the following.

William Casey: ”Admiral Turner has no specific position now, and it's not a good way to warn his predecessor. Does your excellency find him something to do so that he doesn't have so much free time to participate in TV programs? ”

As for warning ABC Radio and television, William Casey also thought about it. But he immediately cut off this idea. If he dares to do so, it is estimated that ABC TV will report it tomorrow. Then the only thing waiting for him is to resign on the grounds that it violates the U.S. Constitution and undermines the public's right to know.

Reagan felt that what William Casey said was very reasonable, and the warning would be counterproductive. He might as well arrange a specific job for general Turner. With a formal job, there is no time to appear on the TV screen.

But general Turner's position is not easy to arrange. After all, the old boy served as the commander-in-chief of NATO's European Union Army in South Africa. The official position given is too small, or the official position is definitely not done by idle people in space.

Reagan: ”director Casey, what position do you think is more appropriate for Admiral Turner.”

William Casey was at a loss when he heard Reagan finish. What does the president mean? He's just an intelligence leader. Only have the right to make suggestions. At most, there are some decisions in the newspaper. Now, when it comes to the placement of a general, William Casey is afraid to give any specific suggestions.
