Bret Hart suddenly became famous when he was discovered by our newspapers, and he was promoted to the sky - editors from all over the country cast admiring glances at him through binoculars and shook their hats. He showed respect and bought new ones after shaking them. But when he got into trouble because of a family illness and published a rather bland article for the first time, the press, which had been cheering loudly, said, "What? This guy turns out to be a liar!" And so they began. He chased him fiercely, grabbed him, knocked him to the ground, stepped on his foot, covered him with tar, put feathers on him, and made him a target for throwing garbage.
