...escaped unscathed, two of his bodyguards were seriously injured. A fellow Filipino radio broadcaster wasn't so lucky. The same day Pala was attacked, John Villanueva, a procommunist talk show host from the northern Luzon city of Legazpi, was shot to death on his way home from the radio station by two motorcycle-riding military...
...Kong, radio-show personalities face less overt intimidation, but their broadcast freedom is nevertheless being threatened. Albert Cheng, a bespectacled society icon and radio host, decided last month to take indefinite leave from his ultra-popular talk show, "Teacup in a Storm," after the Broadcast Authority warned his radio station, Commercial Radio, about his on-air conduct.

Critics claim they were punishing the media group INN for barbs aimed at Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra that were made on another INN-owned radio show, but a government spokesman denies it. The plug pulling wasn't unusual; Thai media companies...
...CABIN FEVER Get the real scoop on "life in the freezer" from this site, diligently maintained by a gossipy (and anonymous) employee of McMurdo Station, Antarctica's largest base. Pages are packed with entertaining complaints about mail and food and lots of vicious, small-town backbiting...
