That will certainly be different, so far no news outlets have dared post the truth, as they are scared of repercussions from you know who. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) "public confusion and misunderstanding" that's phrase from prayuth's tekst book. That's never his 68k grey cells, but society's fault. To me sounds more like an entrenched form of censorship in face of vax fiasco, which was looming on thailand since the end of the last year, when the government said, that only AZ will be available. Since then, in the face of 3rd wave, they are trying to reverse this policy, but too late and too slow. Their priority is greed, not public health. They have vaccinated themselves many months ago, even with pfizer (that according to taksin). From those publications, I read only khaosod english, they are also on social media. The majority of thai mass media is army owned and controlled Edited June 14, 2021 by internationalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveHunter Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Oh that's just terrific. Combine all the online sources that have been responsible for reporting misinformation into one site so that politically biased, conflicting and confusing information can be spread to an even wider audience. Sounds like a wonderful idea ???? Edited June 14, 2021 by WaveHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
