Bai Yansong, this name can be described as thunderous in the media circle, but recently, this famous media person has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion again.
Back then, he became famous with his autobiographical essay collection "Pain and Happiness", although the praise was endless, but controversy also followed.
No, a series of recent events have made him the target of public criticism.
Speaking of which, Bai Yansong's controversy is not a day or two.
Back in 2010, his collection of autobiographical essays, "Pain and Happiness", made him famous in the media circle.
Although the book was loved by many readers, it also attracted a lot of criticism.
The famous writer Wang Shuo once bluntly pointed out that Bai Yansong's words are artificial, and his views are not unique, and the word sincerity is simply fantastical for him.
Entering 2021, Bai Yansong has been embroiled in controversy for publicly discussing the employment and housing purchase of young people.
His attitude of seemingly ignoring the actual plight of young people angered many netizens.
Everyone accused him of standing and talking without backache and not being able to understand the pressure of ordinary people.
After all, as a CCTV celebrity, he has a high salary and lives in a mansion, where can he experience the hardships of ordinary people? .
What is even more intolerable is that some of his remarks in the report are also shocking.
For example, in the report of the 2015 Hebei shooting murder, he actually used the term "52-year-old man" to describe the criminal, which makes people wonder if his sense of justice and compassion are still online.
And in the on-the-spot report of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, his indifference was also dissatisfied.
When the time comes to 2024, Bai Yansong has caused strong public dissatisfaction because of inappropriate remarks in an interview.
His comments on certain officials and his disparagement of the living environment at home make it seem as if he has drifted into the sky, distancing himself from ordinary people.
This series of controversial events has greatly reduced Bai Yansong's public image.
Although he has been trying to deal with these controversies with a high profile, the dissatisfaction of young people and the voices of the general public have converged into a strong pressure of public opinion.
In this storm of public opinion, CCTV was also forced to ask Bai Yansong to carry out deep reflection and self-rectification.
In the face of such tremendous pressure, Bai Yansong had no choice but to temporarily avoid the limelight to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
In the final analysis, behind this turmoil is the huge gap between the public's expectations of media and official spokespersons and the reality.
In this era of highly developed information, any bit of hypocrisy and arrogance will be ruthlessly exposed and criticized.
Bai Yansong's image is exactly the same as that of a typical official spokesperson.
Back then, he won a lot of support for his outspokenness, but now, his remarks and attitude are becoming more and more disappointing.
In the eyes of the public, he has transformed from a media person who dares to speak the truth into an arrogant bureaucrat.
Wang Shuo's sharp criticism is like uncovering the scars of society, and the public's dissatisfaction has exploded in an instant.
For a time, criticism and condemnation came one after another, and some people even went so far as to ask Bai Yansong to withdraw from public view.
In the midst of the overwhelming criticism, Bai Yansong had to keep a low profile and began to reflect on his actions and remarks in private.
As an intellectual who prides himself on speaking on behalf of ordinary people, he finally realizes that his understanding of social fairness and justice is seriously skewed.
The incident was a wake-up call to him of the importance of empathy and close contact with the people at all times.
The turmoil also revealed a profound truth: for public figures, it is essential to maintain empathy and a strong connection with the people.
Once it is detached from the expectations and demands of the people, it may face a serious crisis of confidence.
In this era of informatization and highly developed media, no hypocrisy and artificiality can escape the eyes of the public.
Therefore, public figures must always examine their original intentions and value orientation, and adjust their behavior and speech in time to adapt to the changes of the times and the needs of the people.
Although Bai Yansong is widely recognized for his professional ability, as a public figure, he also needs to constantly temper his personal character and shape a good public image under the strict scrutiny of the public.
This public backlash may be an opportunity for him to radically rethink and reinvent his image.
We look forward to him regaining the public's trust and support with more humility and sincerity.
