【新唐人2013年06月01日訊】日前，《環球時報》英文版記者張治龍，求助《華商報》記者王歪被拒絕一事，在網絡上持續發酵。由於《環球時報》是中共黨報《人民日報》下屬的一級子報，長期以來，一直被中國網民認為，是替中共體制大唱讚歌的「五毛」報紙，因此，評論認為，事件凸顯了民間對官方宣傳的不滿。而《環球時報》主編胡錫進在公開回應中，不僅沒有援助自家媒體記者的意思，反而大談自信，被網友譏笑為「變色龍」。
《環球時報》英文版的記者張治龍，由於父母在延安遇撞車意外，他對當地交警處理不滿，於是以受害者家屬身份聯繫當地《華商報》記者王歪，要求報導事件。在王歪追問下，張治龍告知身份，當下王歪表示「不管」。
28號深夜，張治龍在微博留言說，對方在意他在《環球時報》工作的背景，並希望王歪摒棄意識形態鬥爭，謹慎消費他人痛苦。王歪也在微博敘述事件經過，並說﹕微博言論所針對的，並非張治龍本人，而是《環球時報》。他的建議是，張應該「換單位」。
雙方的爭論引起網民的極大關注，在微博上引起超過十萬人討論，還有投票活動，多數表示支持王歪。
前《中國海洋報》記者昝愛宗：「我認為一個事件有沒有新聞性有媒體的自主選擇，如果認為沒有新聞性，媒體可以不報導，媒體自主選擇。而《環球時報》老是歌功頌德，想方設法，變相的來宣揚愛國主義、民族主義、強國夢、中國夢這些東西，引起民眾的反感。所以《環球時報》的記者自己去投訴，人家會嘲笑他，自己的媒體不能伸張正義、不能維權。」
30號，張治龍在微博上寫道：「工作狀態下，我是一名記者﹔業餘時間，我是普通公民。回到故鄉，腳踏黃土地，聽著怒吼的秦腔，看著一排排的蘋果樹。此刻，我是陪伴家人的陝北後生，普普通通。」
原《河北人民廣播電臺》編輯朱欣欣指出，《環球時報》在網民和讀者的心目中，是中共的忠實走狗。也正因為它名聲太壞，因此而殃及了下面的記者。
原河北人民廣播電臺編輯朱欣欣：「按說如果不是甚麼大的問題，同行之間互相幫助一下這也無可厚非。（但是）對那些真正敢於發聲的媒體，一聽說《環球時報》的記者，他先不看這個記者到底是怎麼回事，就難免由於處於對《環球時報》的厭惡，就不願意幫這個忙，這反應了（中共）打壓民意的立場。」
28號晚，王歪在微博上回應張治龍說：「不管你家這件事，一是《環球》從來都在消費著別人的痛苦，現在輪到你們自己了，你該去找你大哥胡錫進。二從專業來說，你家的事沒證據，也不能只聽你的一面之辭。」
29號，《環球時報》主編胡錫進發表回應。不過他並沒有表示出任何對張治龍提供幫助的意思，反而大談《環球網》的規模，並說「自信更能幫助人保持涵養」。
對此，有網友（王小漁在海邊）嘲諷：胡主編是真黨員。同事家人被撞，求助被拒，他不幫同事呼籲，卻在這談發行量。這算陰陽臉還是變色龍？胡主編想忽悠全世界呀。
朱欣欣：「這個事情就是告訴人們：中國人現在已經覺醒了！不是說你有權有勢，你抱官方的、抱中共的大腿，就能夠橫行天下，現在已經不是那個時代了。官方媒體反而越來越沒有公信力，被邊緣化。民間的輿論倒成了主流，這就是歷史大的趨勢。邪不壓正，整個這個潮流誰也無法阻擋！」
朱欣欣呼籲，追隨中共立場的媒體和媒體人，不要只看眼前的利益追隨中共，應該把眼光放的長遠一點，為自己負責、為歷史負責、也為民眾負責。否則的話，只能遺臭萬年。

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.
