MEDIAWATCH: AM Show attack on Kiri Allan spiteful
The AM Show’s attack on Kiri Allan holding up a crime chart in Parliament yesterday is spiteful!
The point Kiri Allan is making by using this chart is that youth crime was far worse under National, and that the current spike is well below historic levels and the crime porn click bait media like the AM Show peddles only feeds the lynchmob.
This is why Public Broadcasting Journalism like John Campbell is so essential!
We underfund these child welfare services and allow inequality to run amok and when the damaged children from this environment commit violent acts we demand draconian policy!
The number of serious repeat ram raiders is about 100, 80% of whom are already known to welfare agencies who are the kids from John Key’s draconian welfare reforms that saw kids in cars, state house tenants thrown onto the street for wrongful meth testing and whose parents were incarcerated in our private prison industry.
How will more draconian policies fix the problems the last set of draconian policies created?
Ram Raid news stories make news producers orgasm. They are cheap, easy to produce and present as live breaking news and the kids committing the crimes boasting on social media for notoriety guarantees a self feeding loop which terrifies the middle classes and sets the get tough on crime lynch mob off.
That’s why journalism like John’s is so crucial in the debate!
The perception is that crime is out of control, despite the evidence showing a spike, but in context, isn’t the hysteria clickbait the mainstream media are selling it as.
Attacking Kiri Allan for holding up a chart while ignoring their own roll in feeding that chart is some remarkable intellectual flexibility from AM Show this morning.

Tv 3 is like Foxnews Ryan and Melissa remind me of Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham notes how Melissa blank’s when she not getting the answer like Laura. I don’t TV 3 seriously because they got 43 Million from the Key Government in 2011.
Yes the dirty filthy Steven Joyce had his fingers in the T.V. 3 media pie a long time ago. To think the MSM is anything other than a right-wing mouthpiece would be completely delusional.
MSM are nothing but a bunch of spiteful, nasty, vindictive, racist dickheads
I’m not sure about racist, but comfortable in their privilege, ignorance, and wealth… definitely.
For the two simpletons Bridge and Chan it’s a case of ‘ thou doth protest too much me thinks’.
They, through John Campbell’s excellent ‘one news’ series on the causes behind the recent wave of youth offending, have been caught out telling porkies and misrepresenting the current situation to whip up a frenzied support for National and Act. Their childish immature poke at Kiri Allen was yet another example.
And just look at their soft cock interviews with Luxon.
Apart from the ‘AM Early’ crew, it is now a useless show full of inane witterings from 2 people who have such little life experience but act like they are full of worldly knowledge offering advice for all to take on board. There usual line to any one in Government is “people want to know” when actually nothing could be further from the truth and i don’t know of anybody shaking in their boots when they go shopping.
It’s certainly not stopping anyone. Retail sales are through the roof. Unemployment is low and the economy is booming . It’s the real Rock Star. Not like the last Key/ English fizzer.
As the real truth unfolds over the next 12 months and Bridge and Chan get found out more and more to be agitating with lies and half truths The AM might just become the DCM!!
The Tory AM FOX show is a Tory party political broadcast rooting for luxon and willis. Ryan and Melissa are too dumb and dont do their homework.
Nanaia, willie, Kiri,… guess which brown face is next….
the maori bashing election campaign has begun.
its gonna get nasty. and guess who will be hurt.
