That's a number, tied in the U.S. and the Super Bowl final, and higher in ratings than any other sports final. Even the presidential inauguration did not have such high ratings.
In the non-US areas that abc broadcast TV can cover, it is actually higher than any TV program. It seems that the public also pay attention to current affairs and politics, but they have not found the point that attracts the public before.
The popularity of the show made abc executives very happy and strengthened their beliefs. To create a trump card program of current affairs and politics, let Alice be the host.
Because of an interview, Alice's fate changed. To a large extent, thanks to the richest man Bao, he has virtually changed the career plan of a beautiful host.
The abc talk show was a huge success, much to the annoyance of the other two. At this time, the other two executives were receiving criticism on the board of directors, and they still dared not refute that.
For the first time in the history of an American media company, the boards of directors of nbc and cbs cast a vote of no confidence in the CEO of their own company. Not only that; the programs of the abc broadcast and television company also affect the top executives of the United States. President Reagan also just finished watching the show. As the head of a big country with all kinds of plans, it is really not easy to watch a show in its entirety.
Turning off the TV, Reagan said to William Joseph Casey, "What does Turner want to do, who allows him to be on this kind of TV show."
William Joseph Casey; 11th Director of the CIA; current Director. His six years at the CIA are generally considered to be the second peak after Alan Dulles.
However, William Joseph Casey was also confused at this time, and the CIA was mainly responsible for espionage in foreign countries. Admiral Turner is not only an admiral, but also a former director of the CIA. If you dare to send someone to monitor him, then you will undoubtedly break the rules.
William - Joseph - Casey is not so bold, after all, he also has time to retire. Stay on the line, see you in the future. Today he can spy on his predecessor, and when he retires tomorrow, will his successor spy on him.
Seeing William Casey's aggrieved face, Reagan didn't say much. After all, even he had no right to send someone to spy on the admiral, the former director of the CIA. Doing so will inevitably lead to conflicts between the two parties, and neither can afford the anger of the other.
Reagan said with a smile: "I don't mean to blame you. Admiral Turner's identity is too famous. This time I didn't say anything that affects the national strategy. It's hard to guarantee that it won't happen next time. I still have to persuade him. Senior Admiral, not a commentator."
As for Fu Limin, Reagan didn't say much. After all, he had already agreed to introduce some information about Huaxia to the public. As for the means of publicity, it is the following things.
William Casey: "Admiral Turner doesn't have a specific job right now, and it's not a good idea to warn his predecessors. Is your Excellency looking for something for him to do so he doesn't have as much free time for TV shows."
As for warning abc radio and television, William Casey thought about it too. But immediately cut off this idea, if you really dare to do so, it is estimated that the abc TV station will be able to report it tomorrow. So what awaits him is his resignation, on the grounds that it violates the U.S. Constitution and undermines the public's right to know.
Reagan felt that what William Casey said was very reasonable, and the warning would be counterproductive. It is better to arrange a specific job for Admiral Turner. With a formal job, there is no time to be on the TV screen.
But the position of Admiral Turner is not easy to arrange, after all, this old boy served as the commander-in-chief of NATO in the southern European Union. If the official position given is too small, or the official position is too free, people will never do it.
Reagan: "Director Casey, what position do you think would be appropriate for Admiral Turner?"
When Reagan finished speaking, William Casey was a little overwhelmed. What does the president mean, he's just an intelligence chief. There is only the right of suggestion, and at most there are some decisions in the newspaper. Now it's about the placement of an admiral, and William Casey doesn't dare to give any specific advice.
But the president asked, and could not answer nothing. At this point it can be described as a dilemma, and perhaps silence is the best option.
Seeing William Casey, the CIA director who made the enemy fearful, stood there like a little daughter-in-law at this time. Reagan felt amused, and at the same time knew the other person's difficulties.
Reagan said with a smile: "It's just the two of us here. Don't be restrained. Everything we do is to serve America, not for personal gain."
That being said, there are a few people who can really do it. Seeing that William Casey still didn't speak, Reagan said impatiently: "You are the director of the CIA, and you need to advise the president on some issues. I asked you to come here to help me share my worries, not to let you stand there."
"Any bodyguard can do the job, you don't need the CIA director to be the guard."
William Casey knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Admiral Turner's position is too high, and it is very difficult to arrange at this moment. The job cannot be lower than the previous one; otherwise he will definitely not do it. High-ranking positions are all core leaders of the military.”
