中國毒奶粉事件，本來就是國際大事。起先九劉政權還沒頭還腦說，中國主動告知台灣是「善意表現」，後來台灣政府也向世界衛生組織通報，然而世衛的回函卻是正本給中國，副本給台灣，還稱台灣為「中國台灣(Taiwan, China)」！看來中國除了用黑心貨、毒奶粉來毒害台灣民眾，在主權上吃台灣豆腐，在國際上又藉此機會，透過國際組織再次羞辱台灣。真是「摸哈仔，兼洗褲」，真是一食多鳥，又可趁此弱化台灣經濟，又可再次透過國際組織宣示對台灣「主權」，何樂不為？
中國人黑心者何其多，有黑心人，就有黑心貨！台商中又不少人貪俗，就是要Cost down。加上九劉政權施政不當，造成台灣物價高漲，在經貿政策上，馬長劉更是一切「靠中國」，這樣的市場，不正是中國黑心貨最佳的傾銷地？
有中國黑心人，又加上台灣的中國笨蛋，中國毒奶粉事件，絕對不會是最後一起中國黑心貨銷台事件！

褒貶不一的角色 毒奶粉事件看中國某些媒體的'德性'
大公報 於September 21, 2008
伴隨經濟改革、社會轉型，中國的新聞行業近些年經歷了爆炸式的擴張，也誕生了一批敢做敢言，敢為民眾鼓與呼的新銳媒體。不過，大潮之中魚目混珠、泥沙俱下，激烈的市場競爭帶來的經濟壓力及某些制度的不合理，也產生形形色色的媒體。
三鹿、蒙牛、伊利等“國產明星品牌”一起主演的“三聚氰胺門”事件中，傳媒就扮演了種種褒貶不一的角色。
欲蓋彌彰愚不可及
第一個勇敢地在報紙上點名曝光“三鹿”的上海記者簡光洲，已經被國人當成了英雄。在他之前，曾有許多報紙陸續報導過嬰幼兒患腎結石的案例，但只是稱呼“某企業”，未有人敢點名三鹿。就在三鹿醜聞曝光後被千夫所指的時候，河北當地的媒體仍沒有正面去揭露個中原由，只能引用一些官方的通稿。
三鹿何以擁有如此大的威懾力？其實不光是三鹿。國家公佈的涉及毒奶粉事件的企業明明是22家，而9月17日山東《煙台晚報》上公佈的卻只有20家。讀者比較後發現，漏網的兩家“澳美多”與“磊磊”，正是煙台本地的企業。在傳媒資訊如此發達尤其是互聯網高度普及的今天，這種欲蓋彌彰的做法真是愚不可及。這樣的報紙，還有何公信力可言？
很多地方的報紙都要聽命于當地黨政官員。都已經出人命了，當地官員居然還在充當地方保護主義的遮陽傘。說到底，不過是一個“錢”字、一個“權”字。企業多賺昧心錢，官員多撈稅收、撈GDP、撈政績、撈更大的烏紗帽，他們互相結成了既得利益群體。失去公信力的報紙背後，是失去公信力與責任心的地方政府。
同時，運用手中的公權力，地方官員可以很容易地給“無冕之王”扣上種種大帽子，諸如擾亂秩序、破壞聲譽、造謠生事之類，甚至讓當事記者丟飯碗。在這種情況下，願意或敢於當“出頭鳥”的記者少之又少。
另一件引起非議的焦點事件是，央視《每週品質報告》曾將三鹿作為“中國製造”的第一個強力宣傳的品牌。這種披著新聞外衣的“軟性廣告”，比純意義上的廣告傳播效果更強烈，所以一旦出了問題危害也就更大。因為消費者會將自己對媒體的信賴，潛移默化地移植到對產品的評價上。
央視似乎也在叫屈，認為自己也被三鹿“忽悠”了，但央視為何花那麼大力氣來吹捧一種產品呢？實際上，三鹿、蒙牛、伊利都是央視的廣告大戶，其中蒙牛曾披露今年投放央視的廣告費用約為兩億，這背後的利益鏈條再清楚不過了。所謂新聞完全失去了應有的價值，變成了有價錢的商品了。而收錢的東西能客觀嗎？
盯住社會灰暗角落
新聞媒體被稱作是社會的良心，這種良心正在受到種種誘惑和考驗。投放廣告、贈送禮品、組織旅遊，出事後發錢當“封口費”，企業用種種公關手段將媒體“綁架”到自己的車上。對“不聽話”的媒體，企業則威逼利誘兼用，施加壓力，促其就範。三鹿在出事後，還曾試圖花300萬元讓“百度”在網上遮罩對自己不利的消息。
簡光洲說，在將三鹿的報導上版時，他腦子裡晃動的都是翌日三鹿公司氣勢洶洶地打電話指責記者的不負責任，並要把記者告上法庭的景象，整個晚上都沒有睡好。
構建良好有序的新聞環境，是反思“三聚氰胺門”的應有之義。讓鐵肩擔道義的“出頭鳥”多起來，用“第三隻眼”盯住社會的灰暗角落，包括黑心廠家和昏頭官僚。
The Uneven Performance of Chinese Media In The Milk Powder Case
(09/22/2008 Ta Kung Pao via 6Park)
... The first one to name "Sanlu" publicly was Shanghai-based reporter Jian Guangzhou (see Why Did I Publish The Name Sanlu? ), and he is being regarded as a hero in China. Before him, many newspapers reported the cases of infants having kidney stones, but they only referred to "a certain company" without naming it. Even after the Sanlu affair broke open and all of China was deploring the company, the local media in Hebei province only cited official Xinhua reports and did not do any exposés of their own.
Is Sanlu such an intimidating force? Actually, Sanlu was not the only one. The state announced that 22 companies were producing tainted milk power. On September 17,
Many local newspapers follow the orders of local government officials. At a time when people are dying, the local government officials still want to serve as the umbrellas of local protectionism. The bottom line is that this is about "power" and "money." When a company makes money against its conscience, the local government officials raise more tax revenues, increase the GDP, list more accomplishments and earn promotions. These two forces become interest groups. Behind the newspapers without credibility are the local governments which have lost credibility and the sense of responsibility.
Conversely, the local government officials can wield their powers against the misbehaving reporters with charges such as disruption of public order, defamation, rumor mongering and so on. Under such circumstances, very few reporters would risk their jobs to speak out.
Another controversial incident is that the CCTV program
CCTV pleaded innocence and said that it was misled by Sanlu. But why did CCTV spend so much effort to promote a brand? In reality, Sanlu, Mengniu and Yili are all big advertising clients at CCTV. Mengniu was said to have invested about 200 million yuan on CCTV this year. The interest network behind the scene could not be clearer. The so-called news has lost all its value and become a commodity that can be purchased for a price. Can this kind of news be objective anymore?
The news media are called the conscience of society. This conscience is being seduced and tested in many ways: ad expenditure; free gifts; travel trips; "shut-up" money after incidents; various public relations techniques to "hijack" the media. As for any media that refused to go along, the companies use force to pressure them into submission. After Sanlu got into trouble, it attempted to spend 3 million yuan to get Baidu to filter out unfavorable information.
Jian Guangzhou said that as his Sanlu report went into print, he had visions of the Sanlu people calling him up the next day to accuse him of being irresponsible and to sue him. He could not sleep that night.
