THAI MEDIA: A MORASS OF CONTRADICTIONS

There's an interesting story on MSNBC.com that suggests "all hell breaks loose" when Thailand's newspapers are reporting crime, especially those involving sex and violence.
The piece compares that kind of coverage to that of the Thai Royal Family where coverage is "extremely cautious" due to the Kingdom's lèse majesté laws.
The story concludes little is likely to change and says; "Carradine is not the first person to have his privacy violated by the Thai press, and likely won’t be the last."
It's an interesting read.
