This article is one-sided and quite misleading: 
 *The article has no historical context.  Was Thailand a haven for the free press, only to descend to censorship in the government of Thaksin Shinawatra?  What about the governments of Sarit, Thanom, Prapat?  What about the era when every single television channel was owned by the government or the military?  When community radio simply did not exist? This article has one purpose, and that is as a platform to attack Thaksin Shinawatra.  Which is a shame, because this article addresses an issue that has been and will be a serious issue in the Thai media.   
 *The article ignores lese majesty, which has been a serious hindered media freedom in Thailand for decades.  The massacre of students at Thammasat University was due to charges of lese majesty, it has long been used to silence critics of the Government, and in an ironic twist, it has been used to try to bring down the current Government. Any discussion of censorship in Thailand without mentioning the record of how lese majesty laws have been used is seriously lacking.
