Chapter 466 Hera’s Stance
Despite her pointed words, Hera maintained her smile, her expression innocent, as if she were a child seeking clarification.
"Am I correct in my understanding?" she added sweetly, her tone light but her meaning unmistakably sharp.
"I believe in the reporters’ code, which is to seek and report the truth—not to weave lies and present them as facts to serve personal agendas."
"Individuals who do that don’t help the country; they undermine it from within. In a way, isn’t that another form of harm, perhaps even a subtle kind of terrorism?"
Hera’s words sent shockwaves through both the viewers and the reporters on-site.
Being compared to terrorists was a powerful accusation, one that struck at the very heart of their profession.
The weight of her words made it impossible for them to refute her, as, when viewed from another perspective, what Hera said rang disturbingly true.
As reporters, their duty was to deliver the truth and keep the citizens informed and aware of the events both within and beyond their nation’s borders.
They were the primary source of information, and whatever they reported—whether on television, radio, or especially the internet—would remain accessible and often be regarded as the truth.
However, if they present misleading or false information to the public, it can endanger lives, disrupt livelihoods, and even fracture the unity of the nation.
In doing so, they are not just spreading misinformation—they are sowing discord and using the public as a weapon and leverage against their perceived enemies.
