Hi everyone welcome to my channel and welcome in the coziest little corner of my room.
I hope you enjoy this setting. Lately, I've been working from home from time to time,
so that's a good excuse to stay in my pajamas all day!
Everyone has the right to be confused or make mistakes once in a while,
but as a tv reporter you better watch your words.
On november the 8th there was a news outlet in the USA called ABC News,
that called president Tsai Ing-Wen the president of Thailand.
This blunder happened right after president Tsai Ing-Wen sent a tweet to congratulate Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
on their victory of the elections in the United States.
What the president tweeted was:
"The values on which we have built our relationship could not be stronger.
I look forward to working together to further our friendship
and contribution to international society."
In my opinion it's only human to make mistakes and get some countries wrong.
It can happen. I think I have done it in my life several times...
messing up two countries that sound familiar and that I don't know anything of.
But I think it's a little bit different when you're a news reporter.
It's kind of your job to get the facts straight and not spread misinformation.
I think it's pretty weird how they could get something so wrong.
You know, what I was thinking was that a news company, before they publish articles,
it gets checked by several people who check it for spelling mistakes and fact-checking.
I don't know what happened here.
It's either the journalist who just send it out without letting anyone read over it,
or several people who've checked it and all made the same mistake.
That would be even worse actually ,I think it's pretty serious.
Sometimes, when a newspaper company makes a mistake, this information spreads very fast.
Later, they try to correct the mistake
by publishing another article saying they made a mistake, but nobody's gonna read that
so there are many people who could potentially run around with false information.
In this case I think it was pretty harmless, nothing too bad can come out of this I think,
it's just a very awkward mistake and very unprofessional.
But in other cases spreading misinformation could be so dangerous
so I think it's really unprofessional of this newspaper company to not have fact-checked better.
What's your opinion on the matter?
Do you think this is a very big mistake that this journalist and newspaper company made?
Or do you think it's not a big deal? Let me know in the comments down below.
I want to thank you so much for watching especially if you stayed until the end.
Let's use a code word today. I already chose it in advance this time.
The code word is "charmander"! Because he joined me in this very cozy little corner.
If you watched until the end, write "charmander" in the comments
and that way I know that you are awesome!

大家好，歡迎來到我的頻道，也歡迎來到我房間最舒適的小角落。
希望您喜歡這個擺設。最近，我有時候在家工作，
所以這是整天穿著睡衣的好藉口！
美國 ABC News 錯誤地稱呼台灣為泰國
人們有時候弄混淆或犯錯誤是很正常的，
但是作為電視台記者，您最好注意您自己的用字。
11 月 8 日，美國有一個叫做 ABC News 的新聞媒體，
稱總統蔡英文為泰國總統。
這烏龍發生在總統蔡英文
發推文祝賀喬·拜登(Joe Biden)和賀錦麗(Kamala Harris)
在美國大選中獲勝之後。
總統在推特上寫道：
「我們友誼的基石是最強大的價值觀，
我期待共同努力，以增進我們的友誼
和對國際社會的貢獻。」
在我看來，只要是人就會犯錯和弄錯某些國家。
這有可能發生。我想我一生中就做過好幾次…
搞混了兩個聽起來很像但我一無所知的國家。
但我認為當您是新聞記者時，情況不太一樣。
弄清事實而不散佈錯誤信息是您的工作。
我覺得他們怎麼會犯這麼大的錯很奇怪。
我想一家新聞公司在發布文章之前，
要先經過幾位檢查拼寫錯誤和事實查核的人。
我不知道這裡怎麼回事。
可能是記者在沒有人讀過它的情況下就發表出去，
或者是幾位檢查它的人都犯了相同的錯誤。
這其實甚至更糟，我認為這很嚴重。
有時候當一家報社犯錯時，這些信息會迅速傳播。
然後他們試著透過發表另一篇文章
說明他們犯的錯來糾正錯誤，但是沒人會讀這個，
所以有很多人可能跟隨著假消息。
在這個例子，我認為是無害的，我想不會造成什麼很糟的後果，
這只是一個非常尷尬的錯誤，而且很不專業。
但是在其他情況下，散佈錯誤信息可能會非常危險，
因此我認為如果沒有對事實進行更好的查核，這家報社真的很不專業。
