tlansford Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 - sniper - Very good of you to point out the obvious, as it seems some people overlooked it. This case is (1) not about Thaksin but the officials named above, and (2) not the case for which Thaksin was convicted. BTW, VoiceTV refers to Thaksin as a "Globetrotter" rather than the "convicted fugitive ex-PM"... That's because they are red shirt supporters, and would rather avoid calling him such things (that he in fact is). Precisely the point. One side of the media denigrates the man, the other elevates him. Purposefully. Why would media not denigrate a man who has been convicted of crime and run away? Not even his fiercest supporters question his guilt. I see no reason why media shouldn't denigrate such a person, indeed i would say it is their duty to do just that, unless it be an in-prison publication like Criminals Weekly... yet you put this forward as evidence of unfair bias. Both are based on biases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Both are based on biases. In your biased mind perhaps so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
