If you turned to Thai TV shortly before 8PM tonight, you’d have seen two soap operas, one game shows, one talk show about food, a tennis match, and the official ceremony welcoming a Thai royal visitor to Berlin. Of eight TV channels on the satellite feed , one channel dif feature two ladies in pink blouses bouncing “kahs’ off each other, reading furiously from approved scripts, without a single video or photo. I have seen better new coverage in Burma.”
Sounds rather like still life in the Shinawatra home theater by the sounds of things. So what did you do today, Maew? Oh, just encouraged off-duty policemen to shoot a few thousand low-rent punks in the back. Pathongtae has to be protected!
All forgotten now of course. Even Lek can’t wait to sweep it under the carpet.
