Echoes of regime change in foreign coverage of cave drama 

Only Prayut gets attention, and whatever he does, the media, including the newly metamorphosed Nation, just see wrongs. To get some clue about the ongoing exploitation you have to check alternative news outlets like the online Landdestroyer, which has this to say: 
“Many pro-Western media organisations in Thailand, supported by the US, UK and EU government and opposed to the current Thai government, have used the incident to attack and undermine the Thai government at every opportunity.”
Anti-government Khaosod even resorted to false headlines to smear the government and the police by claiming the coach was already facing charges. He wasn’t. 
Others, like German-based Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA), have portrayed the Thai government as bumbling and incompetent, and used the rescue efforts to forward their foreign sponsors’ political agenda at the cost of national unity in the face of coordinated rescue efforts.
Khaosod writer Pravit Rojanaphruk, a prominent supporter of US-backed political agitators in Bangkok, jumped on the bandwagon by claiming that while it was difficult to find the students in the cave, finding “democracy” for Thailand would be even harder. 
Hitching himself to the same wagon, The Nation’s French “political cartoonist” Stephff regularly parrots Pravit’s sentiments in search of clicks for his otherwise ignored “work”.
What takes place in the mind of individuals who seek to exploit calamity to advance their own personal agenda? 
As Landdestroyer comments: “Their self-serving and dangerous exploitation of such events is a reminder of how dangerous they are, no matter what labels they hide behind – be it “journalism” or “democracy”.
The Chiang Rai cave rescue offers an example of how the very best of humanity – regardless of nationality or political leaning – can come together to move us collectively forward.
