On July 3, 2024, opposition parties jointly investigated the Mirror TV case, proposing to establish a 'Mirror TV Investigation Project Team' in a joint meeting of the Transportation, Judicial, and Legal Committee on the same day, with KMT legislator Wu Zongxian nominated as the team leader, drawing fierce criticism from the ruling party as 'targeting the media'. Mirror TV released a statement pointing out that the establishment of three investigation groups by the Legislative Yuan against a single news media outlet constitutes a severe violation of press freedom. The team's operation details were also approved during the meeting, focusing on requesting the National Communications Commission to provide relevant information on the case and reviewing relevant regulations. Mirror TV responded by emphasizing its adherence to journalistic principles, commitment to truth-seeking, and criticizing the move as a threat to media freedom, sparking a debate on media supervision in Taiwan.
