Reporter fired for gangster video stunt

Video footage televised by several TV channels in Taiwan on Sunday featured a gangster demonstrating an array of firearms and threatening to kill his estranged boss. But the film was orchestrated by TVBS cable television reporter Shi Chen-kang in league with the gang leader. Shi has now been fired along with his superior, chief correspondent Chang Yu-kun. The incident is to be officially investigated by the national communications commission. (Via Asia Media)
