Of course, the reporter who was knocked unconscious was also born and raised in New York.
However, the reporters who received bribes have betrayed their own humanity and cannot be considered "human beings" at all.
This reporter also became the first cannon fodder in this incident and soon disappeared from people's sight.
The TV station he worked for announced on the same day that it had fired the temporary employee.
Moreover, when the TV station was broadcasting the interview conflict, the host solemnly stated that the issues in that interview were the personal behavior of the reporter and had nothing to do with the attitude of the TV station.
At the same time, the TV station re-interviewed Mr. Bernard and his son who was confirmed to be out of danger after the operation.
During this interview, the TV station not only donated $5,000 in charitable donations to Bernard's son, but also reviewed with him the rescue of the father and son.
During the broadcast, several hosts gave unanimous praise to Batman, which helped to get rid of the title of "a cesspool of maggots" from their company.
This nickname, of course, comes from Bernard's scolding.
The grief-stricken and angry Batman fans can't wait to give this title to those TV stations that dare to go against the tide at this time.
After the last time, this group of die-hard fans, who had experienced the siege from the entire Internet and traditional media, refused to allow anyone to slander Batman.
Die-hard fans firmly believe that these people are false accusers instigated by the authorities, and that "maggots in the cesspool" is the most suitable name for these people.
On the other hand, the media these people work in is naturally a cesspool full of maggots. The two complement each other and become extremely bad.
The five major television networks don't care much about this title, but the current situation across the United States is a little wrong.
Many grassroots people are extremely disgusted by the government's launch of peaceful weapons.
After all, the only city in the United States that is more important than Manhattan is probably DC.
If they can easily order the bombing of Manhattan this time, then next time the authorities will definitely not mind involving their own city.
Media people are very sensitive and know that whoever comes forward first at this time will definitely become the target of public anger.
Cursing is not the point. The point is that the angry American people have a glorious tradition of rioting.
When there are too many people, it is easy to cause a riot.
When the riots broke out, it was not uncommon for several TV station buildings to be set on fire.
No TV station wants to be the headline of someone else's news report like this.
This is just the impact of Batman's "departure" on the media.
In fact, the flat land outside the gate of the General Electric Building has also changed a lot now.
Originally, there was a circular fountain in front of the building, and in the middle of the fountain was a statue of the founder of Rock Company.
The GE Building and more than a dozen surrounding buildings together constitute the Rock Center complex, with the GE Building being the core part of this complex.
Rockwell & Company built a fountain in Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable. Its main purpose was to erect a statue of the founder for people to admire.
But after the invasion of the Chitauri army, only two calves and a base were left of the statue, and it was blown dozens of meters away.
The fountain did not escape the fate of being destroyed. Not only was the water supply system destroyed, but the entire fountain was turned into a shallow pit.
This is the key point of the New York battle.
All disasters begin and end here.
The space gate was opened here, and countless Chitauri troops emerged from here and began to kill New Yorkers indiscriminately.
The space gate was closed here again, and at the last moment, Batman rushed into the encirclement of the Chitauri army with peaceful weapons.
It represents many deaths, but also the luck of the survivors.
It witnessed the birth of tragedy and also witnessed the "departure" of the first hero.
So this place became a very normal yet somewhat strange place—a place for memorial services.
Wreaths, notes, small items, and white candles filled the shallow pit and even spread beyond it.
Just one day later, the municipal government delivered a white metal frame for people to place wreaths and other memorial items.
Because there were so many of these things, even with the metal racks, they had to be hauled away by large trucks every day until they were filled with all kinds of things again the next day.
At the same time, a cross-shaped staircase was laid in the shallow pit to facilitate people to light more white candles without having to climb up and down using their hands and feet.
Since the evening of the day the war ended, people have been coming here in an endless stream and candles have been lit all night long.
More people with different performances.
Some of them cried loudly, some sobbed quietly, and some shed tears silently.
Others who cursed loudly, said nothing, danced with joy, and banged their heads on the ground also appeared frequently.
They may come here to pay tribute to their relatives or loved ones, or to their close friends.
Many people were still injured, but looked distraught. They stood far away in front of the shallow pit for a moment, then turned and left.
Tony frowned as he stood on the circular platform, looking at the candlelight in the shallow pit below.
After a while, he summoned a keyboard and typed a line of words: "Do you know how I feel when I look at your portrait and the white candles around it?"
This sentence soon appeared in the comment section of a hot news on a forum.
A moment later, a reply appeared below it: "It's definitely not as weird as I feel looking at them."
Tony moved his lips, wanting to complain about something, but in the end he felt he had nothing to say.
In fact, most of the people there were not there for Batman. What they were really mourning were their deceased relatives and friends.
Batman’s “posthumous portrait” may just be hanging there as a symbolic symbol.
After all, he is not a relative or friend of those people. Many people will sigh and feel sad for him, but they are far from being heartbroken.
After a moment of silence, Tony finally replied, "Are you sure we have to be so cautious that we can't even talk on the phone?"
Luke on the other side replied again in seconds: "It's much easier to monitor you than to monitor me, so this is the safest way for now."
Tony muttered to himself: "This guy is still so suspicious!"
Thinking about the current situation, he had to admit that it would be better to be cautious.
Batman's "departure" greatly reduced the public pressure faced by the two teams.
Again, a superhero who saved millions of people died and no one can blame him for that.
With this layer of protection, any action against the two teams will be difficult.
In a sense, Batman did "sacrifice".
He had to use "sacrifice" to protect the safety of the two teams to the greatest extent, because they were Batman's weaknesses.
Without Batman, these weaknesses lose much of their meaning.
Forcing them would not bring Batman back to life, let alone let him take the blame.
Tony's mind turned, and he continued to ask: "You, are you really not going to show up anymore?"
Luke on the other side looked at this, a smile flashed in his eyes: "My friend once said: They think there is flesh and blood under the mask, but it is actually a belief."
Tony was stunned for a moment, pondering the meaning of this statement.
Then Luke sent the second half of the sentence: "And faith cannot be killed by bullets."
