【新唐人2013年06月01日讯】日前,《环球时报》英文版记者张治龙,求助《华商报》记者王歪被拒绝一事,在网络上持续发酵。由于《环球时报》是中共党报《人民日报》下属的一级子报,长期以来,一直被中国网民认为,是替中共体制大唱赞歌的“五毛”报纸,因此,评论认为,事件凸显了民间对官方宣传的不满。而《环球时报》主编胡锡进在公开回应中,不仅没有援助自家媒体记者的意思,反而大谈自信,被网友讥笑为“变色龙”。
《环球时报》英文版的记者张治龙,由于父母在延安遇撞车意外,他对当地交警处理不满,于是以受害者家属身份联系当地《华商报》记者王歪,要求报导事件。在王歪追问下,张治龙告知身份,当下王歪表示“不管”。
28号深夜,张治龙在微博留言说,对方在意他在《环球时报》工作的背景,并希望王歪摒弃意识形态斗争,谨慎消费他人痛苦。王歪也在微博叙述事件经过,并说﹕微博言论所针对的,并非张治龙本人,而是《环球时报》。他的建议是,张应该“换单位”。
双方的争论引起网民的极大关注,在微博上引起超过十万人讨论,还有投票活动,多数表示支持王歪。
前《中国海洋报》记者昝爱宗:“我认为一个事件有没有新闻性有媒体的自主选择,如果认为没有新闻性,媒体可以不报导,媒体自主选择。而《环球时报》老是歌功颂德,想方设法,变相的来宣扬爱国主义、民族主义、强国梦、中国梦这些东西,引起民众的反感。所以《环球时报》的记者自己去投诉,人家会嘲笑他,自己的媒体不能伸张正义、不能维权。”
30号,张治龙在微博上写道:“工作状态下,我是一名记者﹔业余时间,我是普通公民。回到故乡,脚踏黄土地,听着怒吼的秦腔,看着一排排的苹果树。此刻,我是陪伴家人的陕北后生,普普通通。”
原《河北人民广播电台》编辑朱欣欣指出,《环球时报》在网民和读者的心目中,是中共的忠实走狗。也正因为它名声太坏,因此而殃及了下面的记者。
原河北人民广播电台编辑朱欣欣:“按说如果不是什么大的问题,同行之间互相帮助一下这也无可厚非。(但是)对那些真正敢于发声的媒体,一听说《环球时报》的记者,他先不看这个记者到底是怎么回事,就难免由于处于对《环球时报》的厌恶,就不愿意帮这个忙,这反应了(中共)打压民意的立场。”
28号晚,王歪在微博上回应张治龙说:“不管你家这件事,一是《环球》从来都在消费着别人的痛苦,现在轮到你们自己了,你该去找你大哥胡锡进。二从专业来说,你家的事没证据,也不能只听你的一面之辞。”
29号,《环球时报》主编胡锡进发表回应。不过他并没有表示出任何对张治龙提供帮助的意思,反而大谈《环球网》的规模,并说“自信更能帮助人保持涵养”。
对此,有网友(王小渔在海边)嘲讽:胡主编是真党员。同事家人被撞,求助被拒,他不帮同事呼吁,却在这谈发行量。这算阴阳脸还是变色龙?胡主编想忽悠全世界呀。
朱欣欣:“这个事情就是告诉人们:中国人现在已经觉醒了!不是说你有权有势,你抱官方的、抱中共的大腿,就能够横行天下,现在已经不是那个时代了。官方媒体反而越来越没有公信力,被边缘化。民间的舆论倒成了主流,这就是历史大的趋势。邪不压正,整个这个潮流谁也无法阻挡!”
朱欣欣呼吁,追随中共立场的媒体和媒体人,不要只看眼前的利益追随中共,应该把眼光放的长远一点,为自己负责、为历史负责、也为民众负责。否则的话,只能遗臭万年。

Global Times Chief Editor Refused To Help Colleagues
Recently, Global Times English writer, Zhang Zhilong asked
for help from Chinese Business News, but was refused.
The incident triggered wide controversy online.
Global Times is under the umbrella of the state-owned Media,
People’s Daily.
Netizens said it is a “fifty cent” newspaper used
for praising the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The commentators said that this incident manifested that
the people aren’t happy with officials’ propaganda.
Global Times chief editor, Hu Xijin replied with an open letter.
Hu didn’t support his reporter, and talked about self-confidence.
Netizens laughed and called Hu a “chameleon”.
Global Times reporter, Zhang Zhilong’s parents
were hit by a car in Yan’an.
Zhang suspected the traffic police handled it incorrectly.
Being a family member of a victim, Zhang contacted Wang Wai,
a local reporter in Chinese Business News to report the incident.
After Wang Wai knew who Zhang Zhilong was he refused Zhang.
On May 28, Zhang posted on his microblog that the
other side were concerned about his work at Global Times.
He said that he hopes Wang Wai can abandon the
ideological struggle, and consider the suffering of others.
Wang Wai posted that what he said wasn’t pointing to
Zhang personally, but to the Global Times.
Wang suggested Zhang quit his job and find another one.
The interactive controversy drew the concern of netizens,
and the event caused over 70,000 discussions.
There are also polls, and the majority supported Wang Wai.
Zan Aizong, reporter for China Oceanol newspaper: “To judge
if an event has news value, depends on the media’s decisions.
If there is no news value, the media may not want to report it,
they are free to choose.
However, the Global Times always praises the CCP,
using all its energy to promote patriotism,
Nationalism, Dream of strong country and China Dream.
This caused public resentment.
So, if the Global Times reporter complains,
people will laugh at him;
His own media couldn’t have justice,
or maintain the human rights.”
On May 30, Zhang Zhilong posted on microblog: “At work,
I am a reporter; Outside work, I am an ordinary person.
When I retuned to my hometown, I walked on yellow soil,
listening to native dialect and looking at apples trees.
At this moment, I am spending time with my family,
and that makes me very ordinary.”
Zhu Xinxin, a former editor at Hebei Radio Station said that
in netizens’ and readers’ eyes,
the Global Times is like a loyal dog of the CCP.
Because of its bad reputation, the reporters
were also affected.
Zhu Xinxin: “If there is not a big problem, it is understandable
for people working in the same industry to help each other.
Once they know it is a reporter from the Global Times,
they didn’t care what’s happened to this reporter.
It is inevitable for them to show their disgust towards
the Global Times.
So, they don’t offer their help. This reflects that
the CCP suppresses the peoples’ opinions.”
On the evening of May 28, Wang Wai responded to
Zhang on microblog: “I can’t involve with your family issue,
Firstly, the Global Times always makes other people suffer,
now it is your turn. You ought to talk to your brother (chief editor) Hu Xijin.
Secondly, from the viewpoint of expertise, there’s no evidence
of the car incident, we can’t only listen to your side.”
On May 29, the Global Times chief editor Hu Xijin
posted responses.
Hu didn’t show any help for Zhang, but highlighted
the scale of the Global Times’ website.
He also said “self-confidence will cultivate one’s self-restraint.”
In this regard, a netizen@wangxiaoyu-at-seaside posted:
“Editor-in-chief, Hu is a real Communist Party member.
His colleague’s family member was hit by a car and
wanted help, but was refused.
Hu not only didn’t care about his colleague, but was talking
about the circulation of the newspaper instead.
Is this a Yin-Yang face or a chameleon?
Does editor Hu want to fool the whole world?”
Zhu Xinxin: “This incident told us:
the Chinese people have awakened.
It isn’t as if you have power with officials’ or CCP protection,
so you can do whatever you like. It is not that era any more.
The state-owned media becomes less credible, being
marginalized. The civil opinion becomes the major trend.
This is a historical trend. Righteous is over the evil.
No one can prevent the trend from going forward.”
Zhu Xinxin urges that people in the media industry who hold
up the CCP’s stance, don’t just look at the immediate interests.
One should have a far-reaching view, to be responsible
for himself, for the history and for the public.
Otherwise, they will remain infamous in history.
