Anti-Chen, pro-China brainwashing in the era of Ma Ying-jeou

[Toleh]

Holy Crap~ Taiwanese version of Bill O'Reily Show. Taiwan in term of political structure is fairly dysfunctional, because there is no proper opposition party.

[TimMaddog]

Uh, no. Bill O is a lackey for big money and warmongers, but Cheng Hung-yi tends to favor things like democracy and human rights. Very different.

Tell me this: What is your idea of a "proper opposition party" in Taiwan?

[Toleh]

In Canada, an opposition party is a political party with members elected to the House of Commons or legislative assembly that is not the government party nor one of a coalition of parties forming the government.

The role of an opposition party is to oppose the government by criticizing government policies, suggesting alternatives and keeping the public informed about issues relating to government administration.

The word, "alternative" and the phrase, "keep public informed" are what the current DDP lacks.

I hope I chose the most representative of the 8 comments you left within 17 minutes. I also approved a separate one since it was a little different.

Anyway, next time, try a little patience.

"Talking Show" is one of the very few shows in Taiwan where DPP members get a fair chance to "keep the public informed." How is that show anything like Bill O? Cheng Hung-yi isn't yelling "Shutup!" at his guests or calling them "pinheads."

[Toleh]

err....... about that eight comments..... didn't know that i sent that many, but it seems there is some technical issue at my end.

The "Talk Show", I am afraid is fairly bizarre (just like its counter part, "2100 Forum" or some sort), because these shows only pitch to the certain groups of audience, and so the the guests on the show will only be suited to these audience.

[TimMaddog]

No, Talking Show is *nothing at all* like 2100, I'm glad to say. Lee Tao, the host of 2100 has a standard of "2 right out of 10 is good enough for him."

There's nothing wrong with having guests targeting a certain group (and if Talking Show does this, how the hell is the KMT's Chen Ming-yi ever on there?). The main point is to be honest.

So far, your arguments have been closer to Lee Tao's standards. That's what I find "bizarre."

More facts and better logic, please.

Ma Ying-Jeou can go fuck himself

[kehwa]

All the best to Taiwan. I hope they will see better days.

[filination]

Dear God. :D

Comment pending for approval; in other words -there's no freedom of speech. Essentially you're living in your own fantasy.

出這種考題太無恥了. What happened to a bias-free education.

[zzztop105]

On balance, the test should have included the following:

1. Ma Ying-jeou has broken every promise he made during campaign and should be impeached.

2. Ma embezzled public fund as Taipei mayor. He should be sentenced for 7-year imprisonment for committing the crime.

3. Ma should be tried for treason for selling out Taiwan.

[TimMaddog]

I agree with the sentiment, but one true sentence can't balance one lie.

Even though Chen has reached his term limit, the China Post continues to lie to its readers, claiming that Chen wants to run again in 2012:

Chen believes the decision was intended to make it impossible for him to stand for president in 2012 as the DPP standard-bearer. In a desperate attempt to get out of the current stew, he is campaigning for president less than four years from now.

Those sentences in the test were so sinister they were beyond imagination. I don't accept anything from KMT controlled media. I came through the same vicious brainwashing many years ago but they got exactly the opposite. KMT will see the end of the road some day.
