TVBS-N Newscaster Speaks Her Mind
(09/28/2008) (China Times)



At just before 8pm on September 2, the TVBS-N news channel was reporting on news related to former president Chen Shui-bian. The host mentioned that "Some Democratic Progressive Party bosses wanted most for Ah Bian to take his NT$ 700 million overseas to start a brand new political party ..." During the transition to the next news item, a female voice suddenly emerged: "Nuts! How is it possible that Ah Bian would take that money out ... Go eat shit!" (神經病，阿扁怎麼可能拿那錢出來…吃大便！)

The audience were stunned and their calls overwhelmed the channel. Afterwards, the TVBS spokespeson said that the voice belonged to the hostess Liao Yingting 廖盈婷 for the ensuing 8pm program. She was testing her microphone at the time and her words were accidentally aired. "We were changing hosts during which there was a brief test for sound volume. At the time, she said something purely for testing and it carries no meaning. What she said does not represent the views of this channel."

The office of Chen Shui-bian demanded an apology within 24 hours, and TVBS has complied. TVBS also indicated that there may be sanctions over the mistake, but the public apology was their immediate priority.

While Liu Yingting was speaking her mind, she may also be speaking for many other people.

With clenched fists, glimmering eyes and flying spittle, Chen Shui-bian addressed his supporters in Kaohsiung with this usual Ah Bian flair. The "God of War" Ah Bian from the Democratic Progressive Party elections surfaced in the streets of Kaohsiung once again.

During his speeches and radio interviews in southern Taiwan, Ah Bian kept emphasizing that the Kuomintang wanted to destroy "the president of the people of Taiwan." He continued to manipulate the ideological issue of Taiwan sovereignty in order to severe his connection to the many corruption and money laundering cases.

Yesterday, Ah Bian pulled another trick by claiming that during his run for the presidency, he had received a cheque endorsed in the back by Kuomintang's Lian Chen to the amount of NT$100 million. He said, "Do I dare to cash such a cheque in the midst of a presidential election?" The cheque was found among the belongings that the special investigators took away during the raid earlier this week.

But why did Ah Bian refuse to identify the specific presidential election (2000 or 2004)? Why did he refuse to identify who wrote that check? Lian Chen was a candidate in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, so why would he give NT$100 million to his opponent? When the Democratic Progressive Party senior officials heard about this yesterday, they found it incredible: "Does Ah Bian know what he is saying?"

If Ah Bian had access to so many top secret documents, why didn't he have them investigated during his eight years as president? He is using these inside stories as his secret weapon to counter-attack from a desperate situation. Instead, the world is learning that Ah Bian has been keeping so many "unspeakable secrets" for so long.
