Could they give examples of the "fake reporters" and inaccurate information that they're trying to ban? To my knowledge the only inaccurate information being published comes from government press releases and polls.

When you have done so come back and tell me those reports were fair, balanced and truthful.

Start your review of the BBC story's with the red mob riots, bombings, shootings,and arson.

Now they have extended these warnings and restrictions to reporting anything negatively about the Japanese economy.

What has that to do with Thailand?

You're just doing the usual junta fanboy thing by giving an example of it happening elsewhere, therefore there's nothing wrong with them doing it here.

" giving an example of it happening elsewhere, therefore there's nothing wrong with them doing it here. "

You couldn't be more wrong I posted it not because it's Thailand related but to contradict those on this website who have consistently for years sworn blind that if something is not written in the mainstream media then it's simply not worth believing

and I would love to respond to your comments about being a fan boy but probably better for me not to
