Taiwan's media is so screwed up

I haven't written blogs for a while now, so i am going to 寫個夠.
Taiwan's media is so screwed up. This is the heading of a news on Apple Daily:
李遠哲:依法拉下總統.
But here is what's in the article:
【顏振凱、李淑華、蔡日雲╱台北報導】泰國政變後,倒扁總部總指揮施明德昨呼籲陳水扁總統:「應該多關切歷史與國際情勢,就能知道很多借鏡,可以讓自己有美好的句點(指下台)。」但中央研究院院長李遠哲前天認為,民主應以法治為基礎,台灣若確定維持民主法治體制,人民就應壓迫檢察官,讓調查總統報告盡快有結果,只要司法判總統違法,就可把他拉下台。
Isn't that title misleading?! Well, i find it misleading. Plus, 李遠哲 probably didn't use this exact wording "拉下台."
I think 李遠哲 is very right. You cannot ask someone to be prosecuted without letting this person to go through a trial. Afterall, it is a law-obeying country. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I am not saying that the president is not guilty, but there's gotta be a lawful way to deal with this, instead of rallying naive don't know better tends to follow taiwanese crowd to congregate. It is a waste of government and public's resources. It is hard to be just when the whole media is biased. Therefore, an innocent person may be protrait as guilty, or a guilty person may be seen as innocent. Taiwanese media is screwed up.

I agree with "I Love Taiwan"
I feel so sick of the media in Taiwan, always want to stir things up and make things sound worse than it already is. Good media should be like a good movie. It should illustrate both side of stories and leave the audience to make the call. I am very ashamed of the majority of the Taiwanese media...It is always sickening that so many people do not look out for Taiwan's future, it is even worse when others follow these insanity. %$&_+%$#@
