A host of social problems arose before and after last month's presidential election. The greatest disappointment was the behavior of politicians and the media. With their usual sloppiness and irresponsible behavior, they kept repeating statements that have since been proven to be completely wrong. This destroyed the public's fundamental trust, and as a result people now show less friendship for each other. This further reinforces public distrust of politicians' statements and media reports. This damage to social relationships is a far more serious problem than the ethnic issue that everyone is talking about.

Taiwan enjoys freedom of expression, but that does not mean that legislators, party officials and media organizations have a legal right to cheat the public. In recent months, however, we have seen politicians and some media organizations collude to support one side in the election. Party officials and even wanted criminals have issued completely groundless information, which in turn has been given coverage by media organizations. The most frightening developments in this vicious election were probably the open letters published by Chen Yu-hao (???), who is wanted by the police in connection with economic crimes, and his series of radio and TV interviews.

If all of these accusations were true, why did the attacks against the green camp end with the campaign? Looking back, the incident seems to have been planned by certain political forces as a political tool with which to attack President Chen Shui-bian (???). There was no proof of any irregularities. A more serious issue is why the media kept reprinting these allegations made in overseas media.

Oh where Oh where is Jackie 'Whore' Chan?
Oh where Oh where can he be?
I've looked and looked all over the Commi Pimp Land
But I could only find him in Bejing taking a bribe from Hu Jintao

Oh where Oh where is Mikie 'Whore' Chinoy
Oh where Oh where can he be?
I've looked and looked all over the Commi Pimp Land
But I could only find him in Bejing taking a bribe from Hu Jintao wife.


I used to really like Jackie until the facts surfaced. Please use your own 'Fair and Balanced' judgement.

1. Jackie hurt you badly, didn't he?

You've got to snap out of it.
