Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls was given the top role of Business Reporter at TVNZ 1 News and ever since it’s been a biased bullshit right wing cavalcade of free market mantras in a high squeaky voice with sycophantic coverage of National and ACT.
Every time Brooke Van Velden farts, Jason is there to breathe it in and tell the rest of us how glorious that fart will be for jobs and economic growth.
I throw the TV remote at the screen every time this right wing capitalist cretin pops up on screen.
Look, I don’t care that Journalists have obvious political bias, that’s fine and dandy and important to have in your coverage, but Walls work over the last 2 months has been incredibly sub par…
…and it’s not like he doesn’t have a previous track record of race baiting…
Watchdog says ZB comments ‘misleading and discriminatory’
…this previous race baiting alongside his breathless praise of everything the Government does isn’t fourth estate journalism, it’s romantic praise!
He’s siding with Simeon Brown over the hack of our public health service after Simeon Brown cut IT Funding…
…this isn’t journalism!
TVNZ must do journalism or analysis, simply rolling on your back for a tummy rub isn’t holding anyone to account!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Martyn – Thank God we, NZers, have a choice of media that calls out this carry-on. Thanks to TDB, and other similar blogs.
