In the following days, Murdoch continued his criticism of David, suggesting his involvement in the incident, with the cooperation of his own arranged media.

Although many did not believe the scandal exposed about the news corporation was orchestrated by David, the powerful media influence of the group did manage to create some small backlash.

After the press conference ended, the Los Angeles IRS immediately announced that they would hold a press conference, with Director David himself stepping up to speak, which instantly attracted nationwide attention.

Although the Los Angeles IRS did not explicitly state the purpose of this press conference, everyone could tell that it was certainly a response to Murdoch’s earlier statements.

Everyone was spirited, eager to see what kind of response David would have.

Los Angeles IRS.

...

Less than half an hour after the announcement of the press conference, all the major media outlets had arrived, setting up their cameras in anticipation.

“Director David is here!”

About ten minutes later, someone shouted, and the previously whispering reporters immediately stopped talking and looked up.

As expected, under the escort of Buckynison and others, David appeared in his formal attire.

Stepping into the spotlight, he pressed his hands down and spoke without hesitation, “Hello to all the journalists and viewers nationwide who are watching, I am David, the Director of the Los Angeles IRS. By now, you might have guessed the purpose of this press conference. Yes, in light of the recent comments by Mr. Murdoch of the news corporation, we felt it necessary to respond!”

Hearing exactly what they had anticipated, the reporters on-site and those watching the livestream perked up their ears.

“First of all, I must clarify that recent scandals involving the news corporation have absolutely no connection with our department at the Internal Revenue Service. We do not have the authority to direct the FBI to act as our ‘thugs’. After all, although both departments serve under the government of America, they are completely independent entities, each carrying out its own duties.”

“Secondly, I believe Mr. Murdoch has misunderstood the main issue. No matter what, but according to the documents and recordings released by the FBI, it is highly likely that the wiretapping incident did occur, involving serious illegal activities. The news corporation should explain this matter and be accountable to the public, rather than trying to divert attention from the real issues!”

Murdoch intended to drag David down and shift public focus from the news corporation’s wiretapping scandal.

David’s speech effectively turned the tables on him.

“Exactly, why does Murdoch bring up all these conspiracy theories? Even if the FBI or someone else was targeting him, those released documents can’t possibly be fabricated, right?”

“Director David is right, the most serious issue here is the news corporation’s involvement in wiretapping and insider trading, serious crimes. Even if someone is out to get him, it serves the public interest!”

“Murdoch is cunning, trying to play the victim to gain sympathy and distract us. First, clear up the wiretapping and corruption incidents!”

Alerted by David’s words, many previously distracted people realized the gravity of the situation, and pressure swiftly returned to fall heavily on the news corporation.

Poor Murdoch, just when he had a chance to catch his breath, he immediately found himself embroiled in deeper criticism than before, which infuriated him even more.

In the days that followed, under David’s instructions, Gavin significantly intensified his efforts, releasing numerous critical documents about the news corporation’s illegal activities.

This caused the stock market value of the news corporation to plummet, with a decrease exceeding 60% since the scandal broke.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the dramatic fall in value was not only due to the scandal. Another contributing factor was that in these few days, the company’s management frantically sold off some overseas assets and continually disbanded their media channels and closed operations of various subsidiaries…

Such behavior, akin to packing up to flee, naturally caused a severe dip in market confidence, resulting in the massive plunge in the company’s market value.

“Director David, we need to speed up the process. Otherwise, even if we gain control of this corporation, it might just end up as an unfinished project.”

“Yes, the Freemasonry is clearly aware of our intention to take over the news corporation. They are adopting a ‘destroy it if they can’t have it’ attitude. We can’t continue like this!”

“I got some internal information from them; these past few days, they’ve been destroying a vast amount of core data and massively dismissing media channels. At this rate, we might end up with a loss!”

Inside the director’s office, Ted, Sally, and John were all present, though their expressions and tones were anxious.

They had agreed to join David in this struggle primarily for a chance at the news corporation’s lucrative slice.

But now, the Jewish people clearly saw that the situation was beyond salvage, so they adopted an ‘if I can’t have it, neither can you’ approach in their actions.
