Nothing can justify such a statement ! The reason of the\u00a0U.S. columnist&#8217;s tirade is the fact that Thai authorities took more than a week to report they had detected Malaysia Airlines MH370 a few minutes after its communication systems went down. And it is true that the excuse of the Thai army which can be sum up like this: <em>&#8220;we didn&#8217;t tell because nobody asked&#8221;<\/em> is ridiculous but Greta Van Susteren went too far. Insulting an entire population because of the bankruptcy of its leaders and calling more than 66 millions people <em>&#8220;jerks&#8221;<\/em> leaving in <em>&#8220;the lamest country of the day&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/video-embed.html?video_id=3358534801001\" height=\"314\" width=\"560\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But in this heinous speech, the most shocking part is its epilogue gong back to 2004 when a devastating tsunami hit southern Thailand. There was a huge solidarity movement. What bothers me in Greta Van Susteren&#8217;s remarks is that they seem to imply that it would have been better to help a country that does not deserve it. But does she deserve to have a forum on television if it is to use it like that ?<\/p>\n<p><em>You can find the complete text of the column on the <a href=\"http:\/\/nation.foxnews.com\/2014\/03\/19\/greta-shame-pathetic-cruel-thailand\">channel&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In her\u00a0 &#8220;Off the record&#8221; minute on Fox News, Greta Van Susteren placed a very<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-thailand-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1269"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1272,"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269\/revisions\/1272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thailandee.com\/blog\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
