Both the print and electronic media have a bias toward the government and hence this government for the last 6 years has had an easy ride from an uncritical complaint media that most seem to be in awe or longing for John Key’s approval.<br />The likes of Hosking, Henry, Williams, Plunkett, Smith, Gower, O’Brien, Dann, Wood, Armstrong, Watkins just to name a few are without doubt extremely biased to the Right and as a consequence do not have any credibility as journalist or political commentators. They are in my humble opinion propaganda agents for a cruel corrupt evil government <br />Allied that to the fact that the media and the PM and some of his Cabinet endorse the vile Cameron Slater is indicative of the low standard of political journalism in this country .<br />The NZ media could do worse then to learn from esteemed Australian journalist John Pilger. ”Always look for the truth the ground up, rarely from the top down. Journalists are never real journalist if they are agents of power no matter how they disguise that role. Real journalist are agents of people” I fear Pilgers’ word would go over the heads of the NZ media <br /><br />Dave<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717150224329460406noreply@blogger.com
