Opinion: Channel 5 cozying up to the Russians should surprise no one After teaming up with right-wing media presenters at Top News to continue to discredit the pro-democracy movement in Thailand, the military-run Channel 5 is now joining up with the Russian Embassy to spread Russian propaganda to its viewers. Executives from the channel met with Yevgeny Tomikhin, the Russian ambassador to Thailand, on Tuesday evening. They said the meeting was meant to create cooperation between Channel 5 and Russia’s news agency to provide “facts” and combat “fake news”. https://www.thaienquirer.com/38849/opinion-channel-5-cozying-up-to-the-russians-should-surprise-no-one/ Edited March 24, 2022 by mtls2005 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Grand, just create more misinformation and one sidedness in reporting again. No more Fair and Balanced anywhere in the world. The media no matter what has become over politicized and no one knows the real truths anymore and those that try to get the real information out are being silenced.......
