News technique HK Style 香港新聞特色

The famous anthrax suspect, Bruce E. Ivins, committed suicide just before he would be tried in court.

The case is about seven letters containing anthrax were mailed, resulting in 22 infections; five people died.

I am not interest about what Americans had done to their own people; that is home affair. But the news I heard from ATV Asia channel is another sample of the HK Style news technique.

They said that Bruce E. Ivins needed to check if anthrax vaccination was effective. With a sweet tone, this message would let us believe that Bruce E. Ivins should be a hero of his country.

One can check "Bruce E. Ivins from Wikipedia" or "Anthrax suspect, scientist, kills self as FBI closes in" etc., it is easy to know that this case has nothing to do with vaccination.

Why Bruce E. Ivins committed suicide? Did he afraid to face trial? If so, why he did that? These may never be proved because of his death.

If the reason is about anthrax vaccination, he should not be the only one handling planning and operation, there must be some official person etc. to give the truth.

What the ATV news would be if this case happened in China?

著名炭疽毒案疑犯Bruce E. Ivins在被審判前自殺了。事件中有七封含有炭疽毒的信寄出,結果22個人受感染並中5人死亡。

我對美國人對美國人的傷害沒有興趣,這是他們的家事。但在聽到亞洲電視亞洲台的新聞報導,又是一個香港特色的新聞報導例子。

他們說Bruce E. Ivins有需要證實炭疽毒免疫是否有效。以非常甜蜜的語氣說出,這個信息令我們相信Bruce E. Ivins應該是美國的國家英雄了。

只須查看 “Bruce E. Ivins from Wikipedia” 或 “Anthrax suspect, scientist, kills self as FBI closes in”等,根據沒有與炭疽毒免疫有關。

Bruce E. Ivins為什麼自殺?他是否害怕審判?如果是,他為什麼要做這件事?他的死亡令這些問題永遠沒可能證實。但是如果原因是為了炭疽毒免疫,這樣的偉大工作絕對不會只有他一個人策劃及行動,一定有官方證人等出面來爭取公道。

如果這件事在中國大陸發生,亞洲電視新聞會怎樣說呢?
