Thai Media Suckkk!!!!

Biased TV stations intensify divides in Thailand protests : csmonitor

Red-shirted protesters in cars, pickup trucks, and motorbikes snaked around the Thai capital on Saturday, the latest in a series of antigovernment demonstrations. Police estimated that 65,000 people had joined the convoy, which stretched for several miles.
But viewers of Thailand’s TV stations, the most popular source of news, were told that 25,000 attended. As usual, pictures of protesters were bracketed by statements from government officials. No airtime was given to ordinary protesters. And last week when protesters dumped blood at the prime minister's office and home, pro-government media hyped up the health risks and the ethics of wasting human blood, while antigovernment media focused on the symbolism of Thais willing to shed blood for the cause.

That's not crazy but its real happened in Thailand for now. Almost Thai Media attemped to propaganda Thai people by Cheap Dirty Tactic, they plotted it for long time before red shirt group run to Bangkok, but it wasted time, More than 50% of Bangkokrian came from another part of Thailand, no doubt, most of them absolutely supported Red Shirt Group.

Thailand says talks with protesters ongoing despite arrests

BANGKOK (AFP) — Thailand's deputy prime minister insisted Monday that the arrest of two anti-government leaders would not derail negotiations with protesters besieging state buildings.

The detention of Chamlong Srimuang, a key protest leader, and rally organiser Chaiwat Sinsuwong over the weekend raised speculation in local media that the government was giving up on the talks.

Both men are due in court on Monday and are facing charges including insurrection, but Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, deputy prime minister and chief negotiator with the protesters, said they were still committed to peace.

"I can still negotiate with others ... Our negotiations have not ended yet. There is just a little more to finish," Chavalit told reporters.

"These negotiations will soon be successful," he added.

Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat has said he wants thousands of protesters to leave his Bangkok offices by November.

Chavalit has been tasked with ending the six-week occupation of the government compound by a coalition demanding that the elected government step down because of its links to ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

The group began their campaign in late May claiming that the ruling People Power Party's plan to amend the constitution was aimed at helping Thaksin escape graft charges, and they stormed Government House on August 26.

A day later, Thailand issued arrest warrants for nine protest leaders.

Authorities, however, appeared unwilling to force their way into the heavily-fortified protest camp and deliver the warrants, and arrested Chamlong as he voted in Bangkok's governor elections on Sunday.

Chamlong appeared in court on Monday where police were seeking to extend his detention by 12 days, while Chaiwat was later due to appear in the same court, where his lawyers were expected to argue against his detention.

Comment : Real Thai politics chaos, for now, nobody knows that what happended, why Chamlong like to be a big shot, why he get out from Government house, I don't understand.

Chaovalit contacts Chamlong to disperse protest

By The Nation
Maj General Chamlong Srimuang, a leader of the People's Alliance for Democracy said Deputy Prime Minister Chaovalit Yongchaiyudh had his close aide call him up but had yet to discuss conditions that the PAD would agree to disperse its sit-in protest.

Chamlong said he was still waiting for advice from Chaovalit over the political impasse and the PAD would decide if it could follow his advice.

"We do not close all doors for negotiations and we are ready to talk to all parties,'' he said.

He said Chaovalit's aide and he had only talked about their well-beings.

Comment : Chaovalit have been secret supported to People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) so far, so its not surprise if Chamlong will be cheerfully accept to negotiate with Chaovalit. It's juggler!
