Taiwan FTV: Slugfest on Live Broadcast

On Aug. 24, at a political talk show 'Sovereign's Talk' aired on Taiwan's FTV, Lin Zheng-jie, a former legislator(left), is punching Jin Heng-wei, the General Editor of 'Dang-dai.' Two were panelists at the show.

They were having heated arguments over whether President Chen Sui-bian should step down. Suddenly, Lin started to punch Jin, and both exchanged punches and kicks. It got bloody and went on for a minute. Since the broadcast was live, it was aired uncensored. TV viewers were shocked.

As for the result, it was the rout by Lin, who goes by the nick name, 'street punk.' Jin had to have five stitches on his nose area at a hospital. Lin is part of the opposition demanding Chen's resignation, while Jin is a well-known pro-government figure.

Lin said later that he blew up because Jin tried to cut him off whenever he tried to explain why he decided to go against President Chen. Lin refused to apologize.

I have seen this before on various Asian news shows and even in political meetings. I wish we would do this every once in a while.
