Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 283

As the editor-in-chief Barnabas Guffe expected, Rita Skeeter did not come back that day, so he decisively published the news of 'Ministry of Magic, Violent Law Enforcement', and the next day the Daily Prophet Unsurprisingly, the newspapers were sold out again, earning a lot of money.

I have to say that the subject matter chosen by the editor-in-chief is really exciting, especially the direct, simple and rude content of the roll call makes people want to see what happened.

Isn't this the kind of article that ordinary wizards like to read the most?

They naturally don't have much favor with the Ministry of Magic, especially when they see the extremely conflicting vocabulary of violent law enforcement.

Public opinion was completely one-sided, with Howler letters to the Ministry of Magic almost filling a room.

"Those who caught me, I will make you pay the price."

Barnabas Guffe said bitterly, he seemed to have seen that the Ministry of Magic finally gave in and let Rita Skeeter back, and the Daily Prophet's reputation could be improved again.

But soon he stopped laughing

First, the editor-in-chief Xenophilius Lovegood, who was a naysayer, stood up and publicly questioned the authenticity and validity of the content of the Daily Prophet, and then severely criticized reporter Rita Skeeter. After all, when can you not come out and sing a different tune?

Moreover, although the sales of their newspapers are good and there are enough wizards to buy, most wizards will not take the content in it seriously, and only regard it as a novel to pass the boring time in their spare time. a joy.

In terms of credibility, their Daily Prophet is stronger.

After all, the Quibbler once published that Fudge had an army of goblins in the dark, but no wizard with a normal IQ would think that Fudge had this ability.

There are many more articles like this.

Not to mention that adult wizards don't take the anti-tune content seriously, even young wizards think the anti-tune content is extremely outrageous.

"do not worry about it."

The editor-in-chief Barnabas Guffe was still calm at this time, and the operation of singing voices was a normal phenomenon. The grievances between the two newspapers could be traced back to a hundred years ago.

"Well, the Daily Prophet isn't some kind of third-rate newspaper. I can fertilize my garden with stuff from those shitty papers."

He is quite jealous of the sales of the naysayers. It is said that today's sales are 130% of their Daily Prophet.

However, chit-chatting was just the beginning, and it belonged to the first shot against the Daily Prophet, followed by Mr. Jerry of "Dragonlance Chronicles" publicly condemning the Daily Prophet and reporter Rita Skeeter in his new book, saying that they Spreading false news and distorting the facts caused him a lot of trouble. Once the news came out, it caused a huge repercussions.

Perhaps the credibility of the naysayer is not as good as the Daily Prophet, but the mysterious writer Mr. Jerry, who has been the best-selling novel for two consecutive years, has a lot of influence. When he opened his mouth, those fanatical fans started sending crazy letters to the Daily Prophet. It also gave them a taste of the treatment of the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Barnabas, what shall we do now?"

"Howler letters are everywhere! Everywhere! It's about to explode!"

The staff of the Daily Prophet looked at the pile of roaring letters that filled the entire office, constantly expanding, and might explode at any time, with despair on their faces.

"We can't get out!"

The important thing is to block the way out, who knows if the roaring letter of the explosion will be affected when passing by.

"Why panic? It's just a mere yelling letter, and it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Editor-in-Chief Barnabas Guffy's face was so gloomy that ink dripped out. When did the Daily Prophet receive such treatment?

"I'm going to find someone."

The Daily Prophet is a newspaper recognized by the Ministry of Magic, so there are naturally people who know it in the Ministry of Magic.

As for the operation of the Daily Prophet against Fudge and certain officials of the Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic had more than one voice.

It's a pity that before the editor-in-chief of Barnabas Guffe can shake people here, the situation there has undergone new changes. The Witch and Poison Publishing House, which has been in the limelight recently, published a separate book before the launch of the new generation of wizard card series. I published a magic character card about Rita Skeeter, whose skill characteristics are false propaganda and distorted facts, and a separate magic card from the Daily Prophet. It directly filled up the ridicule value, and once again exploded public opinion .

At this time, the Ministry of Magic, which was supposed to stand up and stop the situation from deteriorating, remained strangely silent, as if it didn't know about it at all. And those brainless readers of the Daily Prophet began to split among themselves. Many of them are fans of "Dragonlance Chronicle" and readers of the Daily Prophet, but basically they all have a common hobby, that is, the wizard card .

After this trouble, the public opinion in the wizarding world is no longer one-sided, and has begun to waver. After all, the Daily Prophet is a century-old newspaper with a certain fan base and credibility.

The result of this is that the matter became more and more troublesome, and later attracted the attention of wizards from basically the whole of Europe, and more and more people who eat melons began to join the discussion.

Everyone is curious how this will turn out.

"Sorry, Mr. Barnabas, I really can't do anything about it, why don't you try your luck elsewhere?"

Editor-in-Chief Barnabas Guffy walked out of a house a little depressed. This is the seventh official of the Ministry of Magic he has released. He has been rejected by the Ministry of Magic several times in a row. All the replies are like copy and paste. Unite.

When the Daily Prophet was in full swing, any official who saw him was not polite, even Minister Fudge had to receive them politely.

Closed door?

If you dare to ignore him today, Barnabas Guffey, tomorrow he will lose your official position, and you will be kicked out of office.

What the hell is going on now?

Editor-in-Chief Barnabas Guffy didn't know what happened, but now the unified template answers from the officials of the Ministry of Magic made him feel like he was in a huge vortex.

However, the situation has developed to such a point that the Daily Prophet is already on the verge of riding a tiger, leaving him with nothing more than two choices, admit his mistake or fight to the end.

Admitting a mistake means that the Daily Prophet is wrong. Once false propaganda is carried out, the public will no longer believe the content of the Daily Prophet. Not only will the sales plummet, but the support rate will also plummet.

For the future of the Prophet Daily, it is absolutely impossible to admit mistakes. Not only can they not admit mistakes, but they must bite the bullet and win this public opinion war.

It doesn't matter what the facts are, and it doesn't matter which side is just. The important thing is to win, and victory is justice.

But at this critical moment, the situation changed again
