Chapter 907

Soon,

The Democratic Party began to launch a counterattack against the Republican Party.

"The Washington Beacon" took the lead, publishing a long report on the front page, detailing the many practical things Umbrella Properties had done for residents on the West Coast over the years.

At the end of the article, it sharply criticized the Republican Party for its own selfish interests, using unscrupulous means to smear such an enterprise that is enthusiastic about public welfare and concerned about people's livelihood, which is contrary to fairness and morality.

"American Freedom News Channel" launched a special program during prime time, and the host pointed out righteously: "This public opinion attack on Umbrella Properties led by the Republican Party is completely a carefully planned political conspiracy."

"They disregard the truth, wantonly fabricate lies, and attempt to suppress Umbrella Properties through smearing to achieve their ulterior political goals."

The program also invited many residents from West Coast communities as guests, who appeared to tell their own real experiences of their lives being improved with the help of Umbrella Properties.

A few days later,

"The New York Innovation News" published an in-depth commentary article, not only emphasizing the good deeds of Umbrella Properties again, but also digging deep into the interest chain behind the Republican Party, implying that there might be the shadow of some large financial groups behind this smear campaign, who attempted to monopolize the relevant industry by bringing down Umbrella Properties.

One television station after another kept making efforts, launching multiple tracking report programs.

They sent multiple groups of reporters deep into all parts of the West Coast, interviewed more people who benefited from Umbrella Properties, and collected a large amount of detailed first-hand information.

"We have always supported Umbrella Properties~~" some students and teachers faced interviews, firm and incomparable.

"Umbrella Properties saved us from ending up on the street, it's a good company..." an old white man shouted loudly.

One interview lens after another, one face after another, one simple and honest face after another that couldn't be acted out.

Made many television viewers surprised.

The program host angrily accused in the report: "In order to strike at Umbrella Properties, the Republican Party did not hesitate to reverse black and white, portraying such an enterprise that benefits society as a demon. Their actions are a public trampling on the public's right to know and a serious desecration of fairness and justice."

In the days that followed, the media offensive of the Democratic camp further escalated.

"The Boston Truth News" published an investigative report with a full page, with the eye-catching title "The Truth Behind the Republican Smear Campaign: Political Manipulation and Interest Transfer."

CNN (Cable News Network) launched a special program called "Uncovering the True Face of the Republican Party," which was broadcast every day for a week.

On the program, political experts, legal scholars, and other people from all walks of life were invited to analyze the smear behavior of the Republican Party from different angles.

Under the continuous counterattack of the Democratic Party, the wind of public opinion turned over instantly.

Many Americans, especially the crowds covered by Umbrella Properties, Happiness Properties, and Family Properties on the West Coast and East Coast, were very angry.

At this time,

White House,

Mr. President, got the polling results again.

"Public disgust for the Republican Party is 67%..."

"Presidential approval rating is 15%..."

Bush felt his eyes go dark.

Finished!

Died so fast!

15%, don't even think about being re-elected next term.

Don't talk about re-election, I don't even know if the Republican Party can take over.

He had only been president for 5 months!

Vomiting blood!

Thinking about this period of time, the Democratic Party kept splashing dirty water on him... well, it wasn't dirty water, he really did it.

"No, I can't sit and wait for death!"

Bush slapped the table abruptly and said to the secretary:

"Immediately, right now, arrange a press conference!"

An hour later, the spotlights in the White House press briefing room suddenly lit up.

All media in the United States, as well as reporters stationed in the US from all over the world, ran to the White House.

Bush faced the camera, he showed a solemn face:

"Dear media friends, and viewers across the United States..."

"Regarding the recent saying of 'the Republican Party targeting Umbrella Properties,' it is a complete misunderstanding."

"Umbrella Properties company is an excellent company, it is really doing good things for people's livelihood. Such an enterprise that serves the people with heart, I have always liked it very much, and praise it!"

Bush tried to make his tone sound sincere: "I guarantee to every citizen on the West Coast that the Republican Party has never targeted Umbrella Properties, but instead appreciates their investment in people's livelihood..."

Soon,

His news was reported on major television stations across the country.

In front of the lens, he was sincere, talking eloquently, talking about his trust and praise for Umbrella Properties, and talking about his innocence.

However,

Bush's press conference was too early!

At this time, the Democratic Party had gotten another good thing!

Last month, the Democratic Party leader ordered people to investigate the matter of Bush ordering the smearing of Umbrella Properties, to see if they could find any command documents or something.

In May, they really found it.

A confidential document signed and approved by Bush to send a large number of undercover agents to Umbrella Properties.

The party leader took a look,

Slapped the table.

Righteous anger!

"Simply too evil!"

"Actually doing such a shameless thing!"

"This is a desecration of the people!"

"Our Democratic Party absolutely cannot sit idly by!"

"And, Mr. President actually has the face to say he didn't target Umbrella Properties!"

"Simply a despicable villain!"

Thus, a righteous order went down.

That night, CNN reported this news.

Host Philip faced more than 20 million viewers across the United States and kicked the truth directly:

"This morning, President Bush was still claiming to the camera on the White House lawn that 'the Republican Party has never targeted Umbrella Properties,' and even praised it as an 'excellent enterprise that serves the people with heart'..."

"But!"

"We have a confidential document in our hands that will completely shatter this carefully woven lie..."

The blue background wall of the CNN news studio lit up with a clear image of the document scan,

"In February of this year, President Bush personally signed and approved a secret directive—Umbrella Properties Parasite Plan... the president's signature in the lower right corner of the document..."

"This forms a glaring contrast with the President's statement this morning of 'appreciating its investment in people's livelihood'."

"It is very clear that the whole incident was entirely a malicious act by the President's team against Umbrella Properties..."

There is a question here: Is CNN breaking the law?

According to the draft of the "News Media Protection Act" once deliberated by the Senate, if the media can prove that "the information is directly related to the public's right to know" and "has exhausted legal acquisition channels," it can defend against judicial accountability.
