News should be all news.
Why did Kith Meng stress on " Cambodia economic development " only ?
How about negative news on Hun Sen's regime ?
Is this another Hun Sen's tool ?
News should be fair and non-bias organisation that use it influence for all people regardless of what,news media should not be favoritism to any group or commits un-ethical practice.
Kith Meng become rich because he do business with Hun Sen and his cronies, so he would never said anything negative about Hun Sen. All CTN and CNC news will be about praising and lauding Hun Sen. It's not news, its propaganda.
Ctn is a big propagandas tools for Hun Cent already,I won't pay a cent to watch their shit whatso ever...They called Hun Cent Somdech I called Hun Cent som Arch!...
kit meng only knew how to get money from inside the country.abroad he is clueless like all other tycoon inside cambodia.
Well,kith meng smarter than Hun cent otherwise he can not make money from Cpp Hun sen.Hun cent dumb does not know who steal his shares of the pie.Kith meng smarter than Cpp henchmen like Chea sim,Heng Samrin or Hun cent combines.Sva Kim hoang is the dumbest one among a bunches of Cpp clans.
