MEDIAWATCH: NZ Political Journalism double standards against the Left
Winston wants to rob 700 000 permanent residents of the right to vote and the reaction from the media is total silence.
Seymour wants to simply cut in half the entire Government like a Right Wing Thanos and there isn’t a murmur from anyone in the mainstream.
The Greens put forward a very sensible tax policy and it’s ‘Economic lunacy’ while Labour get endlessly grilled on their Public Transport Fare Cap costings!
Want cheaper public transport costs for working people in the cities or taxing the rich for our public services and it’s the Nuremberg Trials.
Brainfart out some ideological mutilation of the State with a Libertarian revenge fantasy or anti-migrant bashing agenda and it’s suddenly crickets chirping.
When it’s the Left wanting to help people, it’s wall to wall scathing analysis, when it’s the Right threatening to amputate half the state or disenfranchise 700 000 permanent resident voters, not a whisper.
The double standards at play are unbelievable.

Uh oh Paul Henry joining ACT too. No suprise really.
The media kowtow to Govt regardless of who is in office. The Right will moan about the media when the so-called Left is in office and vice versa – they inform us on what the Govt wishes us to know – this is the point. Long gone are the days when they challenged Govt, of all stripes, apart from hitting Govt around the edges, where it does not influence/impact upon policy, that is, typically this type of media coverage satisfies the dim wits that peruse the news, which is most people, hence the genocide, the forever wars and all the other lovely goodies that impact negatively impact ordinary folk, on an ever increasing basis.
I truly don’t get it? Why would our media, let alone our voters, want more of this CoC-up MAYHEM? To vote this inane, desperate and totally corrupt CoC back in shows a huge lack of reality, honesty and no moral compass. The Left could not do anything as bad as this gormless, clueless lot! No one is that stupid! So NZ media, where the hell are you hiding and WHY? Do you all stand to lose financially or have you already horribly lost your way – sure looks like it? Please tell us, we are intrigued! And ACT bringing in Paul Henry shows how out of touch and how low their expectations are! It’s becoming worse by the day!
