Ban Song, but not officially

An official from the country's top organ for regulating entertainment industry has joined the public cry to keep Song Zude away from media exposure. Song, a controversial figure, is widely known for his random accusations against celebrities. However, such an official move is inappropriate as it is actually beyond the authority of the supervision organ, says an article in China Youth Daily. The following is an excerpt:

Recently, an official from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television openly criticized Song Zude, one of the most controversial people in China, well-known for his accusations and allegations against celebrities. This was the first time anyone on behalf of the government did so. According to this official, they were trying to keep Song, a black sheep, off the entertainment and media circles.

It seems that Song has got into trouble. But this official has overstepped his authority.
