It is disgraceful that they didn’t even extend you the common decency of a reply to your letter with some attempt at justification for their bias.

Bad conscience?

Or fear of the 5th Estate?

Maybe their fear is that in the age of the internet any reply they gave you would get more circulation than it would have in the old days, to be evaluated for its merit, or lack of merit, by many more people than it once would have.

The ‘no reporting’ is not altogether surprising – RNZ, especially National Radio, has been in the pocket of government for decades.But not even sending you the courtesy of a reply, even a bland reply, is just plain bad manners. Ignoramuses!
RNZ only survives – and that’s the right word – because of our tax. Albeit channeled through the media police, NZOA,
So where a public service – of whatever kind – is provided by the taxpayer, we have the decision in our hands even if only every three years.
Meanwhile don’t hold your breath – Crosby-Textor have the NZ media and its toadies all sewn up for the Nats.

Bravo Lois and you would be right. Lost count of the the amount of genuine investigative journalists who have been censored silenced or even sacked for daring to report against the bias others seem to willingly go along with presumably? actually in the ‘mainstream nooz-media globally’ under pressure from very very powerful pro Israeli lobbies and moguls..
Even Mike Roberts shocked and surprised me during the last attempted Gaza genocide.. I sent him an email and laid a complaint about Henry’s coverage.. No response over either..
When they wont even report with balance about Yemen or Syria either tells you something hmm?

Thank-you for trying to.. Will gladly share your post as suspect this will get even worse if the TPP and TTIP ever get ratified.. Have a feeling BDS movement will be targeted somewhere in those ISDS or other ‘processes’

Radio NZ Lois has just been silenced by this Government policy of gagging all forms of media in NZ today that would be possibly critical of the government so we are now without any free media voice here in corrupted NZ.

My advise is to write to the overseas channels such as Aljazeera or RT or maybe others.

Government does not control them unless they interrupt their transmission.
