Conspiracy theories and politicization of news abound. Freedom of the press has become tarnished. And all these worrisome phenomena arise from the media itself. No wonder many scholars and observers of the media feel that, since the lifting of martial law, the media has been its own worst enemy.
以至於碰到社會議題就容易聳動、誇大；處理政治新聞則常見預設立場、捕風捉影的報導，陰謀論、氾政治話題充斥等現象，使新聞自由蒙塵，而這令人憂心的現象竟來自於新聞圈本身，難怪許多新聞學者和媒體觀察家認為，解嚴至今，媒體最大的敵人就是它自己。
