MEDIAWATCH: The NZ Free Speech Union is the sound of one hand clapping
The NZ Free Speech Union is nothing but a Zionist Apologist Front that weaponises Free Speech for the right!
They are part of the Taxpayers’ Union Stable of clients and are Atlas Network connected. They are bad faith actors who should be condemned at all times.
They are desperate to engage with the Left because they currently have all the intellectual capability of a one hand clapping.
That why they are attacking Stuff Journalist Phillip Matthews, they are desperate to gain social traction, which is why ostracising them is so important.
Look at the Talley’s case against TVNZ, THAT is a free speech issue yet the FSU haven’t said anything because they support corporate power.
Where Is The Free Speech Union?
To paraphrase the great Blazing Saddles, Mongo no Understand.
I can’t find any statement by the Free Speech Union on the appalling abuse of power Talley’s is causing TVNZ with their embarrassing defamation claim.
Isn’t it funny how right wing free speech champions go so quiet when it comes to corporate power and Israel?
Corporate Power Versus Fourth Estate Journalism
The biggest Free Speech issue in NZ right now is Talley’s continued attack of TVNZ using baseless defamation claims on journalism that was doing its fourth estate duties by scrutinising Talley’s appalling abuse of workers!
This is TVNZ Journalism at its best!
Abuse Of Process Or Legitimate Legal Action?
Talley’s has a well known anti-Union perspective that borders on McCarthyism, their abuse of process to silence critics is appallingly oppressive and Talley’s should be called out for it yet the Free Speech Union are silent?
Free speech debates often focus on universities and protestors. But when corporate power meets investigative journalism, the stakes are higher — and the silence louder. Whether this case strengthens or chills media scrutiny may echo well beyond the courtroom.
Free Speech is one of the most important values in Western Democracy, that’s why it is far too important to allow a Zionist Apologist Front to weaponise it.
