譴責無線新聞失實報導順寧道楊媽媽聯署聲明 無線新聞於4月17號之晚間新聞中,報導了順寧道楊媽媽(楊源柳女士)的露宿抗議的情況。 視而不見 斷章取義 扭曲訴求 不論是訪問現場展出的立場書,或是接受訪問中的楊源柳,皆老實清楚地表達了三項整體政策的問題和集體的訴求: 一)要求市建局承認凍結日租戶身份,還該區其他十二名被迫遷租戶重建租戶的權 利,即原區公屋安置或租戶原有之搬遷補償。 二)在未來20年180多個未公佈的重建區內,市建局都要依照《市區重建策略》,承認凍結人口日租戶身份。 三) 香港特區政府承認1999年就港人內地所生子女問題提請人大釋法,是一個錯誤;並且,還我們數千多個因人大釋法而喪失居港權的人士,合法居港的權利。 但無線新聞卻視而不見,聽而不聞,把近六分鐘的訪談剪成失去上文下理的兩句話,將她的訴求完全扭曲,把對政策的控訴扭曲成個人上公屋的要求,將集體訴求扭曲成個人訴求。 漠視簡單事實 轉移視線 隱暪問題焦點 楊源柳多番提及市建局不承認十三戶被迫遷租戶身份,更有另一持香港身份證的被迫遷租戶一同接受訪問。事實是根本所有被迫遷租戶皆不獲承認身份,喪失原區安置權益,與當事人是否持雙程證一點關係也沒有。事實是:據悉,被迫遷十多戶中,只有楊源柳一人是持雙程證,但所有十多戶都不獲市建局承認身份。 雙程證在這宗報導裡完全不是問題焦點,是顯而易見的。然而,無線的報導竟替市建局指出「雙程證」這件無關的事實,明顯是利用香港許多市民對新移民和持雙程證人士的不滿,來轉移整個問題的視線,完全隱瞞重建政策對租戶不公的問題。無線新聞報導,成了市建局的宣傳機器,基層被完全消音,違反新聞工作為民喉舌的責任。 大眾媒體應有責任 一件「事件」發生之後,如果不透過轉述,是不能被呈現。轉述就會有資料上的剪裁,取捨和修飾,轉述者也總會有意或無意地壟斷「事件」的詮釋權,客觀中立因而也不曾存在。然而,正因如此,媒體更應自覺自己對無權勢者發聲的壟斷權,無線作為主流傳媒的龍頭,理應醒覺自己有維護社會公義的責任,至低限度準確轉達楊媽媽的訴求,但無線新聞連這至低要求也做不到,反而在報導上明顯地偏幫不論資源還是政策上的決策權都比基層大無數倍的市建局。 read more
