Description
On 15 August 2023, a reporter from MGR media group and a staff member of conservative talk show "Sondhi Talk" was attending a news conference held by transparency activist Chuwit Kamolwisit in Bangkok, when Chuwit started disparaging the show "Sondhi Talk" for alleged misinformation and turned his attention to the reporter, calling him a "lackey" of the MGR media group executive, Sondhi Limthongkul. A heated exchange of words then ensued between the reporter and Chuwit, in which the activist continued to hurl other insults at the reporter. Chuwit eventually told the reporter to leave the news conference.
