Mongolia TV5 as online pay TV

MediaZone presents TV5:
The Mongolian TV channel TV5 is now available for online viewers through a anual subscription of about USD 100 a year. Already their news programme had the name "internet news", but it had not much to do with this ever expanding medium, as they used mostly footage that was taken from the BBC or other international channels

Online dispute on Mongolia's politicians

Since some time there has developed a lively dispute on the entries of Mongolian politicians in Wikipedia. Especially posts on current prime minister
Miyeegombo Enkhbold and previous prime minister Tsakhiag Elbegdorj have been subject to some severe mud throwing their discussion pages (see Enkhbold and Elbegdorj)

The players in the discussion are one person under the name of Latebird, who by others is "proven" to be the son of Enkhbold; the main opponent is a New York based Mongolian/Brit under the name of Lemonhead who "doesn't like corruption". Academic challenger is supposed to oversee the battlefield, but doesn't completely stay out of the line of fire.

The discussion gets rough when lemonhead ("I contribute to wikipedia only fact based verified information") depicts Enkhbold as "Mongolia's corrupted Prime Minister of non-military junta government".




For those not so familiar with Wiki-slang: (N)POV = (Neutral) Point Of View
