rooster59 20904 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 “Communication misunderstanding” cited for ABC News interview with Wild Boars “Communication misunderstanding” was blamed as the reason why US-based ABC News television was the first news outlet to interview the 13 Wild Boars boys and their football coach following their hospital discharge last month. The ABC News exclusive interview was conducted in the chapel of Wat Phrathat Doi Wao in Chiang Rai’s Muang district on Wednesday and the programme was aired the following day in the “Good Morning America” programme of ABC News. The interview caused an uproar among local and foreign media which felt the Thai government granted special privilege to the American TV while discouraging others from talking to the 13 Tham Luang cave survivors.

Samui Bodoh 27352 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 "...He also dismissed a suggestion that ABC News had paid for the right to interview the boys and their coach..." I believed the story fully as it is easy for mistakes to occur anywhere/anytime, until the third to last sentence from the complete story (quoted above). Any time a Thai Official feels the need to state that no bribes were paid, I assume that bribes were paid. Wonder how much it was...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra 51090 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 So they're crying foul and trying to turn the story to be all about themselves and their hurt feelings being left out of the glory and money making race... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat 16076 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That is why nothing gets done in Thailand. Nobody is able to understand on another regardless what language is spoken. Once this special blood sucking committee was set up, problems were sure to follow, hardly a surprise. Hope they do the movie in Malaysia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini 1176 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 From the news article: "Thai PBS reporters managed to interview parents of some of the boys and were told that they were verbally notified about the interview two days in advance by an official of the provincial social development and human security office. During the actual interview, some parents doubted why their boys were interviewed because they were informed that it would be only an informal talk between ABC news reporter and the boys." I wonder how the interview with the boys went, and how differently the parents expected it to have gone if it had been an informal talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Media1 1392 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Who cares the Boars are history. It's all over.

Boars are benched Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
