The Chinese National Party (KMT) yesterday accused the National Communications Commission (NCC) of allowing political talk shows to breach the media self-regulation principle and launch excessive attacks on former KMT legislator Yen Kuan-heng (顏寬恆), who is the party’s candidate in a by-election in Taichung’s second electoral district on Jan. 9.
The party yesterday morning submitted documents to the media regulator that it says proves the shows’ bias against Yen.
It also encouraged members of the public to write letters to the commission, asking it to penalize the channels that broadcast the shows for contravening the regulations.

Economics minister must resign: KMT
POWER TRIP: The KMT questioned whether Thursday’s power outage was caused by a problem with the distribution network, as the government said, or by power generation
By Shih Hsiao-kuang and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer
Branding the government’s energy policy as “problematic,” the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) yesterday demanded the resignation of Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua (王美花) to take responsibility for wide-ranging power outages on Thursday.
The outages affected 8.46 million customers, Taiwan Power Co said, adding that a short-term rolling blackout was initiated across the country as an emergency measure after four generators tripped at the Singda Power Plant in Kaohsiung.
