Background briefing

Tao Lee and Vicky Lee, husband and wife, are broadcast journalists in Taiwan. Tao Lee was an early critic of Li Tenghui's presidency, but later, after the Democratic Progressive Party candidate, Chen Shuibian, was elected president, they were both suspected of being closet supporters of the Pan-Blue Coalition (Chinese nationalist), as opposed to the Pan-Green Coalition (Taiwan nationalist) represented most prominently by President Chen. This is due to the Lees' persistent campaign to expose corrupt activities of Chen Shuibian and his family. Their guiding principle has been, "Where there's evil, report the evil."
