		<description>&quot;Balance&quot; is a fool. There&#039;s no such thing as agendaless reporting; there&#039;s no such thing as neutral or objective when it comes to analysis.

What there is instead is declared and undeclared biases/slants.

TC makes his bias/slant very clear. If you disagree, fine. But don&#039;t ask him to present a &quot;fair&quot; account, when all that &quot;fair&quot; means is &quot;I agree with some of it.&quot;

And as for his obvious agenda--it seems fairly obvious to me that his/her/their agenda involves pointing out the hypocrisy, inpetitude and corruption of the Thai establishment. Given that, how on earth can he be doing his agenda a &quot;disservice&quot; by &quot;presenting a narrow view on most topics&quot;?

But maybe that&#039;s just me.</description>

		<description>&quot;one isolated positive&quot; ? Why can&#039;t you just say it ? It was not &quot;one isolated positive&quot; and Korn was not &quot;pointing out&quot; : he was (allegedly, and trying to) &lt;em&gt;infering&lt;/em&gt;. That&#039;s totally different.

&quot;Gasoline up sales during the week-end = it shows that people are sabai.&quot;

Here is the fraud, here is the vast nonsense.

Now, your obsession with &quot;balance&quot; is rather amusing. Who told you I was &quot;balanced&quot; ? 

I am &lt;em&gt;opinionated&lt;/em&gt;.

I don&#039;t like when politicians are talking bullshit. I don&#039;t like when people are eating this bullshit with a smile. 

And in this field, there is no &quot;balance&quot;.</description>

		<description>Korn was just pointing to one isolated positive in a sea of negativity. This hardly represents his view on the whole, as anyone who follows the rest of his comments or policies would know (if balanced portrayal were a concern here;)

At first I thought I could learn something from your blog but you do yourself and your obvious agenda a disservice by presenting a narrow view on most topics. Somewhat similar to a UK or US tabloid yet masquerading as an informed, balanced commentary (whilst appealing to the lowest common-denominator). 

Objectivity and balance in presentation may do your blog a world of good (although this doesn&#039;t appear to be the desired agenda). Just my humble opinion, no offense.</description>

		<description>Huh?  U mean to say Korn is an actual, living being on Earth?!?

Can&#039;t be, he&#039;s just a myth made up to scare children and Economists...</description>
