It's like Orwell saw Thailand in the future. So many similarities! For me, one of the biggest is how the government deals with proles: cheap available liquor; lottery tickets; prostitution. You couldn't make it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are many of us who love living here, it's far from perfect etc etc, but 'glass half full' is a better frame of mind.???? You don't appear to have any ties here, & if you feel that way, move on. And, I really despise - not aimed at you KP, ????the people on here, who, when some of are positive ie look on the bright side, are called apologists. Phew, I feel sooo much better now!

chainarong Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The first piece of fake news that I've read in past years was Yingluck's flood mitigation program was working well and Prayut's drought relief program was going bonkers , although both can be regarded now as old fake news , its falseness is worthy of mention.

Caldera Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I've yet to see a Thai official - any Thai official - who doesn't lie when their lips are moving. That said, this Fake News Center is welcome news to me: Whatever piece they condemn as "fake news" will get my full and undivided attention - it's like a stamp of approval of sorts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) This fake new center will focus on: 1. News items that seem to be critical of the administration or the army. 2. News items that are critical of any of the ministries, ministers, top honchos, or leaders. 3. Any news relating to corruption with the ranks of the police, the government or the army. They are all above the law, as we know. 4. Any negative news about the decline of tourism, or the issues facing the economy. Any of those areas would represent "fake news", as this administration rarely sleeps, and spends day and night looking after the well being of the common man and woman. Thai or ex-pat, it does not matter, if you are here, you are looked after and treated in a very special way.

Pedrogaz Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The latest stunt in the propaganda wars. The government decides what is fake news and what is not.....the Ministry of Truth. I kid you not. The future look very bleak indeed, but not particularly so in Thailand. We take little or no part in politics or power here, and so we don't represent much a threat to the people in power. Indeed is might be one of the best places to ride the internet privacy invasion and propaganda war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
