"Government spokesman" Yan, no media intervention, no special eye-watch on any news agency, no state power to pressure the media, ready to listen to criticism-clarification, tell the government not to look at investigators as a contradiction.
On June 20, 2026, Ms. Ratchadhanadirek, the spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office, revealed a case of news reports on press freedom issues, and it was claimed that the government monitors, keeps a special eye on or watch on some press bureaux that the information is inaccurate, the government has no policy to block the media, no intervention orders, and no action to pressure the duties of the press.
Ms. Ratchada said that the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, clearly affirmed the principle that freedom of the press is an important mechanism in democracy. The government respects the functions of all branches of the media, both mainstream media, online media and public content producers, especially factual, verifiable and collectively beneficial reporting.
"The government has no media interference, no eye-catching orders, no special surveillance of news agencies, and no use of state power to pressure the media."
In the case of an in-depth program across Thailand, which announced the termination of broadcasting with the M.S., Ms. Ratchada said that it does not involve government directives or interference and does not mean that the media or the moderator will not be able to monitor, criticize or present information about the government. All media outlets also function normally under facts and social responsibility.
Ms. Ratchada also said that in public sector work, there is a need to monitor news or news monitors. It is the normal task of all departments to make the government recognize the echoes, problems, complaints and criticisms from the public. And in case of fake news, disinformation or information, the government has the duty to clarify the facts to the public ASAP, not to restrict the rights or threaten any specific media. And if it does not want to monitor news at all, how can the government recognize the social voice?
The government wants Thai politics to move constructively, not to look at the inspectors as a counterpart. The media, the public sector, the private sector, and the political sector should do their job honestly, because the final benefit falls on the people and the country as a whole.
