When we uphold the understanding that "the media is a group that upholds and guards justice", have you ever thought that in fact, many media have quietly changed and become a tool for some people to collect money? When we adhere to the concept of "saving lives and promoting revolutionary humanitarianism" in the health system, are we aware that moths in the health system have spread on a large scale, which has seriously damaged the reputation of the health department? Recently, Taiyuan Intermediate People's Court concluded a case of extortion by a fake reporter: a man in his 60s with junior high school education illegally extorted huge sums of money from a number of enterprises in Lingshi County, Shanxi Province under the guise of a reporter's interview. This incident really caused quite a stir in the local area, and public opinion was in an uproar. For a time, comments on journalists' professional ethics and the absence of supervision departments were overwhelming and thought-provoking.

What happened:

Defendant Liu Qiquan is a native of huozhou city, Shanxi Province, 1949 was born in Beijing, with a junior high school education and no job. 20 10 In June, Zhang, He Xu and Liu Qiquan claimed to be reporters of Health Times under the Organizing Committee of the National Ecological Civilization Press Group, and came to Lingshi County, Shanxi Province for an interview on the grounds that they were appointed by Zhang Guofa, the editor-in-chief of Health Times. Zhang introduced Liu Qiquan as Minister Liu of their newspaper office in a conversation with the receptionists of government departments, and boasted that Liu Qiquan knew many central leaders, with wide contacts and channels. Liu Qiquan claimed that he had greeted the provincial leaders when he came. He can not only report positively, but also make things worse and bring down the enterprise. The staff of the enterprise were afraid that Liu Qiquan and others would write irresponsibly, which would have a bad influence on the company and gave Liu Qiquan 1 10,000 yuan. I just know that Liu Qiquan is not satisfied. In a telephone conversation with another employee, Yang, he claimed that the enterprise in Jiaokou County had a big problem and would be ordered to close down, which frightened the employees of the enterprise. Therefore, Liu Qiquan blackmailed Yang 200,000 yuan in a guest house in Taiyuan. After the incident, Liu Qiquan was arrested by the public security organs.

After hearing the case, the people's court held that the defendant Liu Qiquan, in the name of being a member of the Organizing Committee of the National Ecological Civilization Journalists' Group, used deception to extort money from employees of enterprises for many times and illegally occupied huge amounts of funds, which met the constitutive requirements of the crime of extortion and was sentenced to seven years in prison for extortion. ?

At this point, the criminal Liu Qiquan's case has been punished as it should be. However, can such a result block the people's mouths? What role did other people and organizations play in Liu Qiquan's extortion case? Let us uncover the hidden darkness through the heavy fog of the case.

In the case of Liu Qiquan's extortion, it was Liu Qiquan and others who took the letter of introduction from the secretariat of the Organizing Committee of the National Ecological Civilization Press Group and made the local government and enterprises believe that this was a normal official behavior of the media department under the banner of Health Times under the Ministry of Health, thus creating conditions for Liu Qiquan's extortion. Then, what kind of organization is the secretariat of the Organizing Committee of the National Ecological Civilization Press Group, and what is the relationship between this organization and Health Times?

After investigation by the police, the secretariat of the Organizing Committee of the National Ecological Civilization Press Corps is not a news unit, nor has it been filed with the General Administration of Press and Publication, and it is an illegal organization. It is also found that Zhang is the sister of a reporter from Health Times. She only has a primary school education, and she doesn't have the application conditions stipulated in the Measures for the Administration of Journalists' Cards at all, but she holds the Health Times reporter card issued by Zhang Guo. He Xu is not a reporter either. He doesn't even have a forged press card, but he pretends to be a reporter everywhere on the internet and print media. Before the case of Liu Qiquan, Zhang, Liu Qiquan and others were assigned to haunt Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places, and similar extortion was carried out on many local real estate and energy enterprises, which made a lot of profits.

In addition, it can be found on Baidu entry that Health Times is a popular science newspaper approved by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the General Administration of Press and Publication, headed by the Ministry of Health and sponsored by the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, serving the people of the whole country. The purpose of running a newspaper is to publicize the national health policy of putting prevention first, advocate scientific health care and improve the quality of life. Publicize the professional knowledge of preventive health care to the public, enhance readers' awareness of self-care and exchange health care experiences; Publicize and display the overall image of the medical, pharmaceutical and health care industries, and promote the development of China's medical and health undertakings. ?

However, we have to point out sadly that although we don't want to see the hard facts before us, the Health Times controlled by Zhang Guofa has completely violated its purpose of running a newspaper. Instead of paying attention to and publicizing the professional knowledge of preventive health care, it perfectly demonstrated its great efforts, and Health Care Times became a media that paid attention to issues related to energy and real estate enterprises. Zhang Guofa snared the unemployed in his hand, cooperated with each other, used each other, got what he needed, looked around for exposed points to extort money, sang "Catch and release Cao Cao", and then shared the spoils together. When encountering resistance, certified journalists will come forward to settle down, and fake journalists will become bold because of the support of real journalists and even newspapers. At this point, the Health Times has naturally become a place to shelter evil people and shelter evil people.

In Liu Qiquan's extortion case, Zhang Guofa and others used the platform of Health Care Times, held the press card issued by Health Care Times, and used the secretariat of the Organizing Committee of the National Eco-Civilization Press Group, which was illegally organized, under the banner of caring about environmental protection, to deceive people who didn't know the truth everywhere and illegally extort huge profits. The majority of the injured enterprises and the propaganda departments of the affected provinces and cities have reported to the General Administration of Press and Publication, but the report materials are like mud cows in the sea, and there is no news. The Ministry of Health, as the competent department, and the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, as the organizer, did not take any regulatory measures against the Health Times controlled by Zhang Guofa, which made the actions of Zhang Guofa and others not effectively curbed, and people who did not know the truth continued to face the danger of infringement. This phenomenon not only goes against social fairness and justice, but also hides amazing dereliction of duty and corruption. We hope that the Ministry of Health and other relevant regulatory authorities will thoroughly investigate the accountability of Health Times controlled by Zhang Guofa, and provide a normal and fair public opinion environment and a stable society!
