"DPP caucus whip William Lai (賴清德) cited an article in the latest issue of Eyewitness magazine stating that Taipei Deputy Mayor King Pu-tsung (金溥聰) had asked reporters covering the city beat to be careful in their reporting because he had the cellphone number of their editors-in-chief."
"King Pu-tsung, Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's ''most trusted confidant'' and CEO of Next Media's two planned TV channels on the island, will give the company the credibility it needs -- especially with Ma's ruling Nationalist Party KMT -- for market inroads, Lai said."
"Mr. Lai earlier this month appointed King Pu-tsung, a former Taiwan journalism professor and campaign manager of President Ma Ying-jeou, as the chief executive of the new TV stations."
