  As a Taiwanese, most of our mass media suck (not those mentioned English ones but Traditional Chinese ones).

  Taiwanese mass media and its staff have rather a poor reputation. The general public rated Taiwanese mass media as a whole at 5.58/10 in 2019.[12] Cédric Alviani, Asia-Pacific Bureau Director of Reporters Without Borders, indicated that Taiwanese mass media has suffered from political polarization, sensational reporting, and absolute power of the owners within a media.[14] In a 2022 Reuters Institute survey, Taiwan ranked last among democracies in the Asia-Pacific region on people’s level of trust in media, at a 28% trust rate.[15]
