The report that the popular morning TV news programme Jor Luek Thua Thai Inside Thailand on Channel 9 MCOT HD will leave the state broadcaster at the end of this month casts a sceptical light on the Anutin government.
The programme has been on MCOT for seven years, having moved from a commercial station to the state-owned broadcaster during the government of Prayut Chan-o-cha. Even so, the programme and its two hosts -- veteran journalists Danai Ekmahasawat and Amornrat Mahittirook -- have never shied away from criticising governments, authorities and heavyweight politicians.
