progresifjaya.id, JAKARTA – The theory of attacking through news to get money is an old scheme that is always used by unscrupulous online media journalists to a number of agencies. This scheme also always uses negative news presentations to intimidate victims into asking for a solution to delete or take down the ‘slanted’ news.
This request for a solution is what unscrupulous journalists use to determine the amount of money that must be given to the victim. If they have agreed, the ‘slanted’ news is immediately deleted. On the other hand, if they have not agreed, the unscrupulous journalists will continue to pressure and threaten the victim.
In the field, this tricky or deceptive theory is often experienced by the SIM Administration Unit (Satpas) and the One-Stop Administration Unit (Satpas). Many unscrupulous online media journalists use this method as a shortcut to get quick money. The range of money obtained does vary. However, the majority are in the millions of rupiah level for payment for news takedowns. This theory has always been practiced smoothly for decades. And like a curse, it seems like it can never be fought.
Until finally, at one moment this story arrives at one point. And at that point, the intention of the journalist to get big and fast money suddenly gets stuck and immediately drastically loses its style. The enthusiasm of the journalist to get money quickly also automatically goes out. Turning weak, lethargic, and also limp and lethargic.
This historic moment that feels sacred occurred in West Java in April 2025. And as the actors who created this historical moment were the SIM Satpas Polres Majalengka and the SIM Satpas Polres Purwakarta. It’s not a set story that both of them can be actors in this historical moment. It’s just because they both happened to get psywar related to the news on the same day from a journalist who is also suspected of being from the same online media with the initials ‘NP’.
The Purwakarta Satpas SIM (SIM) Affairs Officer, Brigadir Eko in his story to progresifjaya.id said, that he suddenly received a WhatsApp message from an unknown person claiming to be a journalist for the media ‘NP’. In the message, he said he wanted to clarify the findings in the field of alleged SIM brokers operating. He also mentioned that the findings were valid data that was ready to be reported after clarification.
“In response to the statement, i immediately took a firm stance, inviting him to make it news and broadcast it. But i also reminded him that later my request for the right of reply would be fulfilled. The news was made to be broadcast later. But if you want to be friends, let’s talk nicely and pleasantly. Also, to buy cigarettes and gasoline from me as a friend,” explained Brigadir Eko in a relaxed tone.
He said, that the method and attitude shown were like standard ammunition issued through a deterrent weapon. And thankfully, with standard ammunition alone he was able to lock the style and words of the journalist.
“If he still insists on reporting, i will be forced to use my final ammunition, which is the partnership protection from the Polda Metro Jaya Working Group journalists, which was conditioned and coordinated by my friend, a senior Polri journalist at Polda Metro Jaya. His name does not need to be mentioned because the person concerned did not allow it,” he said again.
Brigadir Eko said, that the final story of the news psywar attempt against the Purwakarta Satpas was that the journalist decided not to report. The subsequent communication was normative and fine. At the end of the conversation, Brigadir Eko also sent some money to help his friend buy gasoline and cigarettes.
Just like at the Purwakarta Satpas, similar pressure that was suspected to come from the same person also occurred at the Polres Majalengka Satpas. A WhatsApp message from an unknown number was suddenly sent to the Baur SIM Majalengka number, Aiptu Latif. The sender of the message also claimed to be a journalist from the online media ‘NP’ and wanted to clarify the findings of alleged civil brokers operating at the Satpas.
“I immediately clarified when i received a message like that. I said that the nature of the civil broker is absurd and unclear. It could be that the legal service bureau is handling its customer’s affairs. Or whatever. What is certain is that none of the officers here practice being a broker. If you want to report it, please do not forbid me. I only ask for the Majalengka Satpas’ right of reply for the news that was broadcasted to also be made into news and broadcasted according to the Press Law. How about it? Okay,” answered Aiptu Latif frankly via WhatsApp message to the unscrupulous journalist.
And unexpectedly, the clarification sentence turned out to be able to fully lock all the unscrupulous journalist’s excuses. The end of the story finally became 11-12 with Purwakarta. Aiptu Latif pushed for meager funds via air as additional logistics for the unscrupulous journalist to buy cigarettes and gasoline.
And this story is finally over.
Both the Purwakarta SIM Satpas and the Majalengka SIM Satpas also proved themselves as winners over their opponents, the tricky theory that is the mainstay of unscrupulous online media journalists. Good job. (Bembo)
