蘋論：最貪女檢
2013年12月27日
當考試院一本正經地修改公務員年度考核制度，強迫要求考績打丙須有固定比率時，公務員群起而攻，甚至放話要在明年的選舉上給國民黨難看。當時我們就呼籲公
務員稍安勿躁，有太多撇步可以「上有政策，下有對策」，像是每年輪流甲乙丙……你的考績制度怎麼改都莫奈我何；更何況還有選舉當安全閥，只要公務員揚言票
不投給國民黨，什麼嚴厲的法規立即陽痿、龜縮、自我閹割。所以，公務員挺起胸膛，什麼攏免驚！
收賄時操守拿A
現成例子就是高檢署女檢察官陳玉珍，長期包庇賭博電玩業者，收賄2300多萬元，被喻為「史上最貪女檢」，遭監察院彈劾。諷刺的是在她收賄期間考績都甲
等，品德操守項目等級是A，表示「足為楷模」。歷任首長給陳女考評竟是：「認真負責」、「腳踏實地」、「學養俱豐」、「明察秋毫」、「處事明快」、「視野
宏觀」、「辦案迅速」等，簡直今之孔孟，其品學能力遠超過馬，應請她當總統。可見考核機制形同虛設的風氣何等猖獗！這不是僅司法機關如此，整個官僚體系都
如此，難怪台競爭力在東亞敬陪末座。哼哼！

Nationalists, united against Western media bias, are divided over money
NATIONALIST displays attacking Western media bias have generated
plenty of attention and fame on the Chinese internet for “patriotic
youths” and made a media darling of one website in particular:
Anti-CNN.com. But turning online patriotism into a business has proved
trickier and, for some of the young idealists involved, rather
disillusioning.
In recent weeks a bitter row at Anti-CNN.com (now known formally as April Media) has exposed a rift between the site’s founder, Rao Jin, and others who joined his cause. Former staff describe a business in trouble, with disappointing web traffic and little revenue. They claim that a big investor has pulled his support and that the site has run out of cash (though it remains online). Ten employees settled pay disputes in September. A company that once boasted more than two dozen workers and thousands of square feet of office space in Beijing is, they say, down to one office worker: the accountant. Mr Rao disputes this.
It is quite a comedown. Mr Rao’s first prominent scalp was CNN, an American news network, in March 2008 after ethnic riots erupted in Tibet. His website seized on what he considered bias in the coverage by CNN and other outlets. In February 2011 April Media posted footage of Jon Huntsman, then the American ambassador to China, at the site of a planned anti-government protest. The demonstration did not materialise, but Mr Huntsman was attacked online for appearing to support it. He said he was there by coincidence.
The popularity of such videos has not translated into profits. Former staff say the most advertising revenue that April Media collected in one month was 17,000 yuan ($2,800) in August. Mr Rao declined to discuss April Media’s finances in any detail but says the business is operating normally and is financially sound. He says the former employees are just disgruntled, adding: “As any start-up company, we have our share of challenges.”
Indeed, April Media sounds like any start-up with money to burn (reportedly an initial investment of $1.6m) and a doubtful business model. But some of the company’s early zealots question the direction their experience has taken them. Tang Jie, who posted the Huntsman video, left to start his own site. Some say he regarded Mr Rao, who had accepted invitations to events at the American embassy in Beijing, as having gone too soft on Mr Huntsman. Mr Tang did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
Hu Yinan, a former editor-in-chief of April Media, says he now questions both “patriotic” and “liberal” voices on the Chinese web. “Genuine beliefs and cries for attention are radically different,” he says. In any case, he adds, there is no proven business model for ideologically guided websites, and he doubts there ever will be. “Most, if not all, traditional media outlets will at some point rely on donors.”
