Cabinet puts KMT before ultimatum over ownerhip of television stations TW

[dArKeR]

The government owns 75.04 percent of CTS and 47.39 percent of TTV. The government stakes in both companies long predate the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration.

The KMT owns a 65 percent share of CTV and has a 10 percent stake in TTV. It also has a majority of shares in the Broadcasting Corporation of China (BCC).

The Broadcasting and Television Law (???) -- which was passed last December and integrates the Terrestrial Radio and Television Law of 1976, the Cable, Radio and Television Law of 1993 and the Satellite Radio and Television Law of 1999 -- stipulates that political parties are no longer allowed to manage media outlets.

The legislation also requires the Cabinet to present a report on government shares in TTV and CTS six months after the law took effect.

These are the stations I see on Comcast Cable in CA. Nothing but bias propaganda lies which Americans hear as truth. The lies that Taiwan is a rebel province of China. But it gets better. CSPAN was broadcasting these stations durning the Taiwan election too. Nothing but propaganda lies. I was posting on the DU, 'are CSPAN liars or ignorant?' They were showing these panel discussions with 4 KMT operative speaking with no other viewpoint. Sort of like FOX but 1000 times worse.

ps. Not only does the KMT control these media companies, they own the country. You make a wrong move and you're dead. That's separate from the financial aspect.

Good call Mikie 'Whore' Chinoy, Philip 'Whore' Pan, Jackie "Whore' Chan, thanks for the truth! Better start making up some excuses for God.
