The level of bias and corruption in New Zealand's current government, bureaucracy and media is disgusting. Don't just vote Labour out in 2023, vote them into minor party oblivion. My vote is going to ACT NZ.
Yes indeed I have a voice video of a journalist newshub telling me after posting one photo on a news item when we at all seeing the truth them other angles that the news is only I quote a point of perspective. News is not the truth it's a point of perspective
Dear media outlets cited - would love to hear your comments, please... Do you think there is a media political bias problem? If not, please explain why your opinion trumps this research. If so, what do you plan to do ti fix it, not just for your news outlet(s), but to hold others to account?
People don't like being lied to. Media says - Still gettn' paid. If these outlets can't survive without the PIJF dollars then their business is just a hobby.
Does everyone remember in the lock Downs the video from Australia of the horse being hit, or something, forget all details... I completely forget the claim but for 2 days the general public could see the video from several angles when it finally appeared on the news they showed the shot only one picture that would depict what they wanted it to depict, where is the story and the facts were actually completely the opposite. I called the journalists responsible for that piece at newshub the very next day and had a really interesting conversation and I actually have recorded it. Her claim was that the news was a point of perspective. Her claim to me was that the news is only a point of perspective so yes they do just tell you one point of perspective not the truth.
News here in NZ did the same over here with Posie Parker when she was giving an interview they blured out her hand & said she was giving nazi or something along those lines when all she was doing was adjusting her zip.
Much like the argument of getting more women into jobs where they historically have low representation, perhaps the left leaning journalist problem is because people that have centrist or right of centre views dont consider journalism a job they want to do, as theyre generally more likely to end up in a field that relies more on actual facts like STEM, or pays better like Business, than a poor paying industry that has relied further and further on opinion pieces to generate clicks for advertising revenue.
A very good point indeed! Yes, let’s have the concept of diversity embrace political leanings too, otherwise the public will continue to distrust the media.
This must be why I never read any NZ jurnalism - either on paper or on the net - TV? whats that?. And very few people I know do give it much time. If they didnt get gov support they would be out of a job and real Journalism would return. But then real politicts might return too, and we cant have that...
...and then there's the Overton Window over the top of this which has been drifting, or being 'nudged' in the current parlance, further left over time.
I showed a leftie mate of mine the 5:1 ratio of left:right journalists and he said "what's wrong with that?" Isn't it amazing? If it were the other way round, the crybaby intolerable left would be throwing tantrums left right and centre ;)

Roughly where the middle of the population is at on the issues. Which itself is a point far further left than it otherwise would be due to the propaganda spread by the media.
Even more remarkable then, that despite these statistics, so few supposedly left leaning journalists are employed in political reporting positions or promoted to senior editorial roles. Could it be that in a corporate media environment where right wing free market ideology is the bread and butter status quo, and conservatism is institutionalised, the vast majority of journalists are overlooked for political positions in favour of the more conservative voices we consistently hear and read from the likes of NZME, 1NEWS, NewsHub etc?
Lol, editorial control of Stuff has been obviously far left for years, to the point where they expunged public commenters that didn't conform to Stuff's extremist views.
Why don't right wing writters get to print? Is there not enough money to create a newspaper from the wealthy right wing people? Seen not! Or are right wing people not able to write! May be not. What is the answer?
David, I cannot help feeling that as well as the treaty that climate emergency is part of the deal.

That was sign with her hand.
You don’t think there is a cabel of journalists being deliberately biased?🤣🤣🤣 I think you need to get out more. Bias is deliberate.
So. What are you saying?
I no longer watch or listen to NZ mainstream media
What clown still believes news in the light of government ownership?

Whatabout Asia NZ Foundation as a poll on migration?
Expand on that. 🤔
@@mikebarton issues like housing appear to be independent of the results. Also just look at the politics of Richard Bedford, it's first director.

Your idea of Left , is alot different than mine.

@brianfasher9378 Thats true, but to what facts do you refer.
What's your idea of Left ?
*This hasn't aged well!!*
Dead from neck up anarchists
*This hasn't aged well at all!* 😂
First, define the centre. The centre of a roomful of sporty teenagers will give a different answer to the centre of a roomful of bank managers.
