Though "The Nation" has a right-of-center opinion page, which welcomed the 2014 coup and military rule, its daily news coverage is more center-left, criticizing, for example, Thailand's lèse-majesté law. According to acclaimed, left-of-center journalist, Pravit Rojanaphruk, who worked at "Nation" for 23 years, in its heyday, "Nation" "...was a bastion of committed journalism and tolerance." But over the past decade, it "morphed from a progressive newspapers into a coup-apologist cheerleader for military intervention..." Pravit was fired from "The Nation" in 2015 after release from a three-day junta detention without charge for "attitude adjustment", his second such detention.
