J.Michael Cole laments the disinterest shown by Taiwanese journalists in the Bill Moo (慕可舜) story he broke last weekend.
It's got to be either some manner of incompetence, or perhaps more likely (since he refers to "reporters" in the plural), the realization that this Bill Moo (慕可舜) specimen has connections high enough to easily turn over a journalist's career. You don't get to "disappear" yourself at a major international airport without the help of very serious people.
I must remember this story - i.e. the lack of interest in Bill Moo's disappearance - the next time I hear talk of the "professional virtues" of Taiwanese journalists.
Update: I see the story has been belatedly covered by the Liberty Times now - over a week after the story broke.
