Thread: Censorship in Thailand

The Bridge fiasco is even documented in The Notion. You probably won't read the 'unsubstantiated' rumours that the mysterious assassins (for that they were) in black where in fact a disaffected and elite military unit though. But that is what several of those seriously injured senior Officers are saying privately, according to sources. Serious rift in the Military.

You'll never read the truth about Chula in the Paste. Merely a multitude of eyewitness accounts. I know it's been reported in the Aussie press though.

CRES- unsubstantiated accusations about a 'plot' by Chavalit are in the local press. Pulling in students for Q's still in the Blogosphere.

Media censorship- widely known, widely disseminated. Not denied. The scale came as some surprise though- it is unprecedented in modern Thai history.


Whatever ones views of the Reds, I think we all know we get a very watered down version of the 'News' in the Notion and the Bangkok Paste.
