Re: Western Media Perverts Information about Thailand

Only the outside media can ... tell the truth to the world.

Thank you for the very intensive report. As the result of government mainstream media, there is not only political crisis but also social crisis as well. For instance, the CRES has set up an underground team to chase Redshirt protestors. The CRES calls this strategy as mob vs mob or people vs. people, so that the picture of soldiers killing people will be faded away.

There are Facebook pages that encourage people to kill Redshirts. There are also a number of pages that talk about how they enjoy to see dead Redshirts' bodies in the street. Most people who are members to those pages use names that show they love the king. They have the words for "love king" at the end of their name.

The mainstream media in Thailand is controlled by the government. There is lots of censorship. I do believe that many people cannot see the other side of the story. Only the outside media can freely show their opinions and tell the truth to the world.
