Media in Taiwan could be one of the weirdest phenomena one can find in the world. 24/7 broadcasting bombards you with sensational scandals if you flip on your TV. Recent insider trading of the son in law of Mr. President causes a tremendous ripple effect in both political parties.
How can a person like Chao be so greedy? Doctor by trade, he graduated from the top university in Taiwan. Is his family poor? Not that any one of us knows of. Avarice is indeed a destructive abyss. I think those legislators should pass a law enforcing those who embezzle or do insider trading to return the money that doesn’t belong to them, or even better confiscate all their property to help the poor and needy children. No wonder people say politics is dirty but I say many government- related individuals are filthy.
Whenever it comes to politics in Taiwan, it just makes one deflated, depressed, and suicidal. What the heck is our government doing? And what are those TV news stations doing? Isn’t our society messed up enough? Gosh, I want some clean news, okay? I don’t give a shit about a fifty-year-old woman getting married to a twenty-three-old lad. I don’t need all the details three days in a row. I know I know I can just turn off the TV. Yeah, in fact, I ditched it!! I don’t have one now… I’d rather read Amy Tan or “Scientific America”.
