The Nation editorial:
With guile and cunning, assisted by a well-oiled propaganda
machine, his party’s well-funded campaign-managers are
fine-tuning pork-barrel rituals into a national exhibition of
success concerning the way in which the chief executive has
been running the country.
From yesterday to Wednesday the government is putting on a big
show for prospective voters, who consist of downtrodden and
gullible grass-roots citizens being herded together from all
over the country by party MPs and strategists, so that they
will understand that Thai Rak Thai is to rule the country for
four more years...
Of course, Thai Rak Thai will mobilise a team of celebrity figures
and smooth talkers who could make snake-oil salesmen green with
envy, what with their jaundiced eyes in the art of spin and
propaganda messages...
