rooster59 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Al Jazeera's Report On Dhammakaya Chopped By Truevisions (Video) By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer BANGKOK — A local cable television provider on Friday censored Al Jazeera’s report on the military government’s blockade of Dhammakaya temple, prompting an online reaction from the news agency’s Thailand correspondent. Wayne Hay, Bangkok-based senior correspondent for Al Jazeera tweeted a picture of a blank television screen with a message in the middle stating: “Programming will return shortly.” “This is what comes up on screen,” Hay noted on his Twitter account @wayne_hay Friday.

spidermike007 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Of course. This kind of thing happens all the time here. There is near complete censorship of the media here. There is so much we do not hear about. Get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommers Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Not only Al Jazeera! For many months the moment NHK, probably the least radical of all news channels, mentions Thailand the same thing happens. The ape at the controls actually cut coverage of the CM flower festival three weeks ago. Must have been been one hell of a contentious floral display in there somewhere. So now I watch it on the internet, uncensored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Members are reminded about the contents of the pinned topic in the News Forum: Thailand remains under the close watch of the Thai military and the rules related to Social Media and posting on Thaivisa will follow the guidelines set forth by the government and the military. Here are some things that you should consider when posting: All suspects in lese majeste cases, national security cases, violators of NCPO orders will face court martial. In the past, discussion of the lese majeste law has been allowed, but due to increased scrutiny by the government this will no longer be permitted on Thaivisa. Any discussion of the Monarchy or members of the royal family in a political context will result in a ban. This includes vague comments that could be construed as referring to the Monarchy. Please use discretion in your references to the government. Phrases which can be considered as anti-coup will be removed. Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed. Any posts which can be construed as rumor mongering are not allowed. Posters violating these rules and the forum rules will receive a warning, a possible suspension of posting privileges or a ban from the site. Please check the entire list of forum rules: http://www.thaivisa....tion=boardrules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandemara Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 How can anyone feel comfortable or secure in a country where social/news media have to post warnings like the above from TV? It would probably be enough to ensure a post of such a warning goes viral globally to help people understand "democracy" in Thailand.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we don't have a real government, real PM, real monks, real Buddhists, real law enforcement, and in many cases, real women. Why have real news when everything else is fake?

goldenbrwn1 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm amazed Al Jazeera is even complaining.It's not as if they have ever had the freedom of press that other broadcasting stations have. Oh they can say whatever they want about the west or as in this case in S.E Aisa. But let them try having the freedom of press to report on the gulf states or the religion of peace in a negative/truthful light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquess Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That report was full of half-truths, it failed to mention that the Supreme Patriarch had ruled in 1999 that the head of temple had violated monastic rules and therefore should have been prosecuted, secondly it went on about Thaksin being removed in a coup, it failed to mention that he was not PM at the time, he had already resigned in April and the so called election prior to that was one that was boycotted by his political opponents. Portraying the temple as being a place where they just wanted to be left in peace to worship in the own way, was a misrepresentation. Had I been watching this in Australia or Europe I might have had a tendency to believe their misrepresentations. Al Jareerza are a dubious channel anyway, especially after they blatantly lied about Gaddaffi and have been doing a similar thing with Syria.

catinthehat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Forget watching the local controlled media outlets. One can watch all of this online directly from their feed. Though there are some that enjoy the childish commercials and of course the soaps. Where the very white skinned hi-so continue to rub the noses of the poor into their obscene opulence. Easy to do with sheeple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangrak Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Aah, Al Jazeera's 'reports' always so true, honest and correct, no bias, no misleading, no manipulations, when all information spread over the media had he same quality, even Qatari extremist Muslims would not need to invest in propaganda...

They failed to mention that Thaskin wasn't the PM at the time, because he WAS care taker PM at the time. Me thinks listening to you trying to rewrite history with lies to be amusing yet utterly useless. Al jazeara indeed was right in this parituclar case.
