SAMAK: NOW IT'S THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Thailand's prime minister Samak Sundaravej really had got it in for the press at the moment. Today it's the turn of press photographers to come under the spotlight. An article on The Nation's website says he was unhappy with the way the snappers behaved during his recent visit with both the United Nations and ASEAN secretary generals to inspect relief distribution in Bangkok. He suggests newspaper editors should have taught the cameraman how to "behave properly".
Samak says what he thinks, often without regard for the consequences. I wonder how he might react if newspaper editors got together and collectively told him how to behave as a prime minister?
