Peter,
For so...<br />This from the Editor MS newspaper<br /><br />Peter,<br /><br /><br />For someone who so vehemently demands the truth from politicians and the media, you appear to have no problem in twisting it for your own purposes.<br /><br /><br />I think if you'd actually taken the time to do a true and fair analysis of the Manawatu Standard's coverage of the TPPA, you would see that we have presented a balanced view of the issue from the beginning. Our coverage has included multiple stories that have featured comment from both sides of the issue.<br /><br /><br />In fact we have rarely missed a public meeting, discussion or debate on the TPPA - the protest at Jono Naylor's office today being no exception.<br /><br /><br />The reason your letter has not been printed in the Standard yet is because we don't run letters in every edition, preferring instead to bank them up and run them when the best opportunity arises. I will also note that, at 460 words in length, your letter is more than double the preferred 200 word length. Exceptions can, of course, be made. <br /><br /><br />We have run a number of your letters in the past, many of which have not always been complimentary of our coverage. I can assure you that your salvos against content produced by the Standard or the Fairfax stable are not determining factors in whether or not we would run such a letter.<br /><br /><br />Of course you might have been able to clear this up with a phone call or a follow up email to me, but instead you chose to perpetuate a conspiracy theory that has absolutely zero grounding in reality. <br /><br /><br />All the best,<br /><br /><br />Jonathon Howe<br />Manawatu editor <br /><br />Wheeler's Corner NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151905311166293297noreply@blogger.com
