The Nationalist Party and People First Party in the Legislative Yuan are pushing for a bill to increase the parliament's authority, with plans to establish investigative committees focusing on the controversy surrounding the issuance of TV licenses, specifically targeting Mirror Media. Legislator Wu Szu-yao of the Democratic Progressive Party criticized this move, stating that while they claim it's against corruption, it is actually a political move to interfere with media. Wu highlighted the inconsistency in the treatment of media licenses, with a clear bias against Mirror Media while supporting other outlets like TV channel CtiTV. The actions have sparked debates and disagreements among lawmakers on which media entities should be investigated, with Wu emphasizing the dangerous precedent this sets.
