What is the "door event"

"Door Incident" belongs to network culture. The netizen named the event with great influence or super entertainment as "XX Gate". The use of "door" by news media originated from the Watergate incident of former US President Nixon. In China, the concept of "XX Gate" event originated from "Zhao Yanmen".

Why do celebrities make mistakes? What is the name of the event?

It originated from Watergate and became a special source of scandal. Twenty years ago, a jaw-dropping political scandal broke out in the United States-Watergate Incident. Under the strong pressure of public opinion, President Nixon was forced to announce his resignation on August 8, 1974. After Nixon stepped down, when summing up the lessons of Watergate, he said meaningfully: "This is a public relations mistake!" " "What is the relationship between Watergate and public relations? A government can't handle public relations well, which may even lead to the president's stepping down. What the hell is going on here? If you want to know the reason, let's start from the beginning:1971June, Nixon approved the establishment of the White House monitoring team, with the task of blocking the leakage of confidential information. On September 3 of the same year, members of this group broke into the office of a psychiatrist in Elsburg, trying to find personal materials that might damage a person's reputation. Because he gave the Pentagon papers to The New York Times for publication. On June 17 of the following year, five members of this group installed a bug in the office of O 'Brien, chairman of the Democratic Party in Watergate Apartment, Washington, and were arrested by the police on the spot. On the Washington post, young journalists B Woodward and C Bernstein began to disclose Watergate in newspapers. Public opinion in the United States is in an uproar, and rumors about the immoral practices adopted by the Nixon administration are widely spread in society. At this time, Nixon remained silent and pursued the "ostrich policy." He said to his two senior assistants, "We'd better say less about it. The rumor will pass, don't worry. " Nixon also tried to control the news sources of the press by controlling the government's news release. He said to an assistant, "We must pay attention to this matter. We can only provide them with some information, not all information. " Nixon's obstruction of interviews and investigations, as well as his practice of "keeping silent and turning a deaf ear", did not put out the Watergate fire, but made people pay more attention to Watergate. The news media refused to stop the investigation. Two young journalists made full use of the strategy of "let the facts speak for themselves" to report Watergate incident to readers layer by layer from the outside to the inside. Generally, I don't comment or express my position, and my position seems detached. Their report seems completely objective. Clues to the Watergate incident gradually surfaced. At this time, Nixon ordered his assistant to make a list of "hostile elements" among journalists and anti-government people. He said, "I want the most detailed records of all the people who tried to involve us." According to Nixon's aides, this step was taken to use "the applicable federal machine to tighten our political enemies." The situation is getting worse. At the beginning of 1973, the Senate Watergate Investigation Committee asked the President and his aides to investigate, but they refused to investigate on the grounds of "administrative privilege". This is even more stupid, because this investigation Committee plays a key role in influencing national news reports. The relationship between the president and the news media is deteriorating. Obviously, this is extremely unfavorable to Nixon. In Watergate, the term "national security" was widely interpreted as "administrative privilege". 1973 In March, Nixon and his two assistants discussed how to explain the incident of breaking into the psychiatrist's office in Ellsburg a year and a half ago. An assistant said that the invasion could be based on "national security". Nixon agreed, saying, "For the sake of national security, we must obtain information. We must do it in secret. Neither the FBI nor the CIA can be trusted. " Using this explanation to cope with the condemnation of public opinion and the investigation of relevant departments made the public lose trust in the Nixon administration. 1973 In July, an assistant of President Nixon confirmed that Nixon secretly recorded all the conversations in his office since 1970. On July 24th, the Supreme Court voted to force Nixon to hand over 64 secret tapes. There may be evidence of Watergate on these tapes. Nixon refused to hand it over. The fortress began to be breached from the inside. It was already October, and Nixon ordered Attorney General Richardson to fire Cox.

Although Cox was the special prosecutor appointed by Nixon to thoroughly investigate the Watergate incident, Cox insisted on getting back the president's secret tapes. Richardson refused to carry out the president's orders and resigned. Deputy Attorney General Ruckelshaus also refused to do so and was dismissed by Nixon. Finally, Deputy Attorney General Bok dismissed Cox. This is called Nixon's "weekend night killing". After that, the Watergate incident intensified. 1973165438+10, Nixon said in front of hundreds of newspaper editors, "In my many years of public career, I have never obstructed judicial justice. I think I can say that in my years of public service, I welcome this kind of inspection, because people must know whether their president is a dishonest person. However, I am not a dishonest person. " Later, Nixon instructed his press secretary to answer substantive questions of the news media. "You should avoid talking, but be confident as usual and cover yourself up." However, all these efforts are in vain. 1At the end of July, 974, Nixon was impeached for "obstructing the judicial process, abusing his power, and refusing to hand over the tapes in contempt of Congress". On August 8, Nixon announced his resignation, which took effect the next day. Reference: All political cases and events that can reach the "door" level generally have three characteristics: First, most of the relevant personnel have high official ranks and prominent positions. The people involved are either senior officials or even the president himself, or people who have close and frequent contact with senior officials, or the incident involves senior officials. Second, most of them are not very respectable and glorious things. As the media correctly pointed out, these "door" cases are collectively called "political scandals". Others say that the beauty of the "door" case is that it is a "door" to cover up ugliness. Third, the vibration is large, the influence is wide, and the "lethality" is strong. Libby, the suspect in this "Tegongmen" case, not only lost his "black hat", but may also be sentenced to jail and fined. At that time, the Watergate incident discredited Nixon, and finally he had to resign as president. Why are there frequent "door" cases in American politics? There may be the following reasons. First of all, American authorities and political parties are inextricably linked with various interest groups. In order to compete for power and interests, it is inevitable to take shady means and backstabbing means. In the Watergate incident, Nixon sent someone to install a bug in the headquarters of his political opponents in order to grasp the movements of his political opponents, and the incident broke out. Second, this secret tactic is not only used for "infighting" in American politics, but also in the United States.

The diplomatic field is also very popular. For example, in the Iran-contra incident, the Reagan administration tried to kill three birds with one stone by secretly selling weapons to Iran: first, it could exchange American hostages; Second, it can use the money from arms sales to finance the Nicaraguan rebels; Third, it can strengthen Iran's military strength against Iraq, thus continuing the ongoing Iran-Iraq war. Unexpectedly, the top secret was exposed and the relevant manager was jailed. Thirdly, in American society, once scandals or scandals about senior officials or even the president are targeted and used by some factions and forces, they will be out of control after media hype. For the scandal of Clinton and Lewinsky, the then opposition party and party insiders clung to it and tried to "impeach" Clinton. As a result, it has been quarreling for several years, and the US Congress has held several meetings on this issue. What needs to be added is that "Watergate" cases at the local level in the United States are also tried from time to time, and the "Watergate Incident in Philadelphia" in 2003 is an example. Although the specific contents of various "door" cases in American politics are different, they all expose the reality and essence of American politics, society and foreign relations. As long as this reality and essence remain unchanged, the "door" case in American politics will happen again.
