Ms. Le Coz said the content being delivered by media outlets is generally accepted as fact.
“There is a very high trust in media from the Cambodian people. So what is read, what is seen and what is listened to is much, much believed,” she said. “Skepticism is not really there from the audience, so when it comes to ownership and concentration, it really does matter in this context.”[...]
Another speaker at the event was Soy Sopheap, owner of the popular Deum Ampil franchise, a founding shareholder in the online service Fresh News and, according to CCIM, an Information Ministry employee. Mr. Sopheap has been used by Prime Minister Hun Sen as a political fixer and has long been accused of projecting a pro-CPP bias through his editorial departments.

“You all can say that if there is no criticism of the government, then you can’t have democracy, but Cambodia is very different, ladies and gentlemen. We are in Cambodia, we are taking baby steps. If we want to criticize the government, we have to have a certain way to criticize the government,” he said.[...]

Everybody knows this. That is why the PM has this sudden fixation with Facebook - he realises young people don't get their news from state-controlled media and choose to use the internet.

I suppose he wouldn't be mentioned, as he's famed for his tolerance, neutrality, placid nature and non-interference in editorial matters. Much better to throw dirt at the Khmer Times.
