Media buzz! State rumors catch the eye. Manager-Nation-Resolution after criticizing state policy.

The press industry was widely criticized. After it was claimed that the political department in the government was monitoring the news presentations of three media groups: the Manager Chain, the Nation Network and the Bump Resolution Chain, these media outlets later presented news and commented on key government projects on an ongoing basis.

The issue was discussed through a Sondhi Talk by Sondhi Lim Thongkul, a former vocal leader of the People's Alliance for Democracy, who stated that it was particularly trying to keep an eye on some media outlets after criticizing the TH-AI Passport program and policies related to the Proud Thai Party.

According to Sondhi, the adoption of the names of managers, nations and resolutions as media groups moving in the same direction is contrary to the facts in media circles, since the three organizations have always had different history of competition and editorial stances.

At the same time, the case of the announcement of the end of the "penetration across Thailand" program of Dnai Ekkha Good and Amarat on Channel 9 MCOT HD has been linked to doubts of political pressure, even so far there has been no official evidence of government interference.

In addition to media eye issues, it was noted about the allocation of public relations and events by government agencies, with claims that some of the work that had been with the original media organizations had been shifted to other organizers, so that transparency in government budget use and the relationship between the political sector and the media business arose.

However, all of the aforementioned allegations are also information from the government critics' side and no official statement has yet been made by the authorities being alluded to, while the issues continue to receive attention from society as they relate to press freedom, monitoring of state power and transparency in public administration.

Information from the narrative program and the talk page on all matters with Sondhi.
