Media personality Huang Wei-han has publicly challenged legislator Hsu Chih-ching to substantiate her recent accusations. Hsu had claimed Huang was biased, favoring pro-DPP media and criticizing TVBS due to a lack of invitations to appear on its programs.
Since I have been named by a legislator, I will respond publicly.
Huang, in a direct response, demanded Hsu specify which TVBS programs had stopped inviting him. He stated he still appeared on "War Room" the previous day and denied any animosity towards TVBS. He also refuted Hsu's assertion that he was a "green camp (DPP) operative."
Which TVBS program has stopped inviting me? Please state it publicly,ๅงๅก.
Further addressing Hsu's comments, Huang clarified his remarks about politician Shin-chung Yang's basketball skills were meant to highlight the importance of understanding opponents, not a literal comparison. He also advised Hsu, as a legislator, on the proper channels to propose changes to the passport's "Republic of China" emblem, referencing a past proposal by legislator Chen Po-wei.
Spreading false information publicly as a legislator, please clarify and take responsibility for your words.
Huang concluded by expressing his affection for both the Republic of China and Taiwan, asserting his right to display national symbols and stating that his allegiance is not up for Hsu's discretion.
The point is not understanding basketball, but not understanding the opponent.
