5 – Under the News Radar 2018 – The brutal occupation of Palestine, brutal Saudi fuelled civil war in Yemen & the magnitude of climate catastrophe

The fourth big news story that was missed in 2018 was finding out that a Chinese businessman attempted to buy two MPs on the National Party list.

MEDIA WATCH: Right now, the NZ Herald are giving more prominence to a ‘news’ story about Clarke Gayford’s fish than the State creating fake social media accounts to illegally spy on NZers

How come this case of state spying hasn’t received the same level of attention and focus as the bullshit Sroubek case?
