I was checking Taiwan television programs to see how the typhoon was doing.
There was something else even more interesting. Apparently a TVBS anchorwoman told former
president Chen to “…eat sh*t…” The whole thing was broadcasted live on national
television all over Taiwan. This is what she said “神經病，阿扁怎麼可能拿那錢出來…吃大便！”

Ha ha! That WAS really funny. Lucky for her she’s only an anchor woman and not uni prof. No lawsuit–just say sorry and not even directly. Of course, she IS Taiwanese, so you know . . . .
Are you sure that’s not just an excuse to get out of the situation? Otherwise it’s divine intervention for a mic to be hot at such a wonderfully opportune moment. I hope she doesn’t get fired.
Yes, I’m pretty sure the microphone was hot when she thought it wasn’t, i.e. either the sound guy in the control room did it by accident or on purpose. She has no control over the mic and has to assume that the people in the control booth are doing their jobs, which, most of the time, they do.

The lady shown in the video didn’t say it. It was this one(who was about to go on-air)
Chen’s office and his supported called for a apology from the TV station. The station did issue a statement on TV later apologizing.
What I find funny is that many Taiwan residents probably are probably cheering for this anchorwoman.
if she did say it, hot mike or unintended, that is totally unprofessional, and totally typical of the biased trash that you find at TVBS.
whether or not you feel that way about Chen, as a journalist you have to keep your emotions and your mouth in check, and this was a clear failure of that.
[quote=“urodacus”]no why would her blog mention it?

who watches that crap channel anyway?[/quote]
Even journalists are allowed to voice their own opinions in private. TVBS didn’t intend for this to be aired. It was most likely a technical mistake, and why not watch that crap channel when all the others are just as crap?

They probably have worse things in mind.
