Half-truths

re: "Selective reporting" (BP, PostBag, November 21, 2022) 

Dear editor,

Highlighting the need for full reporting of arguably relevant facts on the use of rubber bullets by state forces during a recent APEC protest, Thanin Bumrungsap makes an excellent point regarding the truth behind the proverb "half the truth is often a whole lie," as he cites it.

But must it not then be wondered what that identical insight says about Thailand's state institutions protected by law that dictates only half the truth be spoken?
