The media is no longer a watchdog; rather, it has become the mouthpiece of advertisers. This is especially true of entertainment, retail, and cultural news and has resulted in a dearth of cogent and reliable reporting in these areas.
媒體成為廣告商的代言人，而不再是把關者、監督者，這在影劇、消費、藝文新聞裡尤其盛行，也使得台灣媒體裡普遍缺乏這些領域中肯而可信賴的評論報導。
