Defamation laws cover all sins. This will never change.

I am convinced that SOME company will step up and take the place of Skype. It had too many users to just throw away on the basis that it was "old technology". Like many others who live in Asia, I used Skype to call cell phones and landlines in the USA. Microsoft Teams has no such usability and it's maddening to try to replace simple technology such as Skype with software that is aimed at corporate workgroups and such. When large companies buy software from smaller companies, they always seem to ruin the product.

The only institution that needs a Pope is the Roman Catholic Church. I was brought up in that denomination and was able to leave it behind by age 15. I consider myself fortunate that I was able to divest myself of all Catholic and all religious thought.

Spells Schadenfreude correctly but misspells "radical" twice. Remedial spelling classes might help you. Better yet, get the Grammarly app.

I have never known Thailand to respond to competitive threats. Their attitude has always been "take it or leave it...these are our terms."

Thaiiand: world headquarters for "make it up as you go along". Law and logic be damned.

Another Trump punk who needs to be drummed out of office.

Foreigners should resist the idea that they have any rights in Thailand. One set of standards for Thais and another for the evil farang.

Any forum member who supports Vladimir Putin or any other dictator should be banned from AN permanently. In past years such support of the enemy would land you in prison.

Trump showed clear signs of mental instability long before he was ever elected. The United States will NEVER live this down. One of the craziest elected officials in history. His war with the American media is proof of his unfitness for office.

I hope this tariff threat causes Thailand to end its ruinous taxation on Western goods and services. Expats pay far too much to enjoy Western food and other products.

The duty of the media is to REPORT, not serve as a cheering section for elected officials.

Trump's war with the media really makes me angry. He hates the idea of an independent media where reporters can ask any question. His open warfare with reporters is unprecedented and shameful. The media is the ONLY thing that stands between government and an uninformed electorate. Only fascist and other authoritarian states treat the media as an adversary.

Great post. You nailed it!!!

Garbage food. A richly deserved decline. I would like to think that people are waking up but I know better. Consumer memory is a very fleeting thing, much like voter memory.

Hadn't thought about it. They may be very informal but that's a GOOD thing. No one likes a snob.

It won't stop, either. Price increases are here to stay. Complaining will get you laughed at.

You gave ONE example, which is a mistake that any journalist could make. You are reaching for anything that will support your insupportable premise.

Ending dual pricing is not enough. Thailand needs to end the ruinous tariffs on Western goods that cause expats to spend insane amounts of money on food and other goods, raising the cost of living. Not everyone can eat Thai food every day.

Media has to deal with the facts it has on hand. It cannot consider the opinions of those whose ox is baing gored. EVERYONE thinks they are an exception to the rule. The vast majority of Trumpers and other Republicans think media must be perfectly aligned with their agenda before they have credibility.

Watched the video, paid rapt attention and STILL noted that this is an OPINION program. When I was in media, we were told to leave our political ideology at the door. I gathered, wrote and presented straight news, NOT opinion or hearsay. Our most frequent problem was getting "no comment" responses from Republicans, who then complained loudly of "bias" when we only gave reactions from the opposing side. Surely you realize that media cannot FORCE newsmakers to comment. We just report, we don't indulge in advocacy. To a Trump supporter, there is only THEIR side of the story, no other.

A difference of opinion on an OPINION program,NOT a newscast. Where is the "glaring" bias? Your example has no legs or logic.

Social media and corporate and public media are entirely different entities. Again, I challenge anyone to prove bias on NPR (public) and CNN (corporate). Fox News has done a marvelous hatchet job on MSNBC and CNN. They seem to play it straight down the middle without commentary or bias. If you don't have solid examples, don't even THINK of challenging my contention of fair play by corporate media. Media was never meant to be a cheering section for politicians.

As an American with a forty-year background in media, your statement is completely insane. We were taught to get both sides of a story and bias was forbidden and could get you fired. I challenge you to PROVE that media has spun ANYTHING to do with this story.
