Gonzo the Face Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 This morning, on Internet " The Nation" , the first thing that pops up is a photo headline banner of Mr. Thaksin on the ground in praying position with forehead on the ground, with the Nation Headline stating " I Want to Come Home to Die". Now I do not know if these are Mr. Thaksins words or as I suspect , the Nation paraphrasing Thaksins statement about not coming home as bones and ashes. With that headline I personally find that photo disgusting, and sensationalist. The particular of the timing re tomorrows date, strikes me as black, sensationalist journalism on what seems to me to be a once very good newspaper that is now in decline. Again I, personally find it in very bad taste Just my one mans opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Media & bad taste seem to go together well these days, especially here in LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo the Face Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I might better understand and accept the premise if the name were perhaps changed to "The Nation-al Enquirer" The likes of the USA grocery store tabloid Edited February 25, 2010 by Gonzo the Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carib Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Agree, but who started this sentimental " I don't want to come home as bones ". And the crawling on the floor pic just says it all how the Nation thinks about the guy... It is how it is played in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 If he wants to come home to die I'm certain there's more than a few people who would like to accommodate him on that issue... sooner rather than later. I frankly don't see Thaksin as being much different than any other politician... in ANY country. The only difference is Thaksin started out WITH HIS OWN MONEY. He was already rich before he went into politics... to further his own wealth and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caf Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I agree with Gonzo. I don't like Thaksin but The Nation's comment was in very bad taste, regretably followed by other posters caf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
