Checking for fairness, accuracy and balance, and finding these consistently absent at partisan NZME.

The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.

But the USA still refuses to let him in.

The USA need to be disqualified

Imagine the outrage & blanket coverage it would be 24/7 for weeks had it been a labour policy advisor

Natstalkzb would be feral & screaming for blood
Demanding accountability
Demanding resignations
Demanding a royal commission

@NZNationalParty Does that include cracking down on corruption, to make our democracy safer?

@NZStuff and @rnz_news versions of this read much more like actual news stories than @nzherald 's 22 paragraphs of National Party press release, with token Opposition comment from @chrishipkins right at the end.

@GregPresland Sadly, but predictably, @nzherald 's Thomas Coughlan simply provides a summary of Luxon's spin here, and readers have to plough through 22 paragraphs before Coughlan finally provides a couple of token sentences from Chris Hipkins, for "balance".
Contrast partisan NZME with (1/2)

@GregPresland @nzherald more objective news outlets, and NZME's ongoing bias is woefully apparent. NZME ignored this story for as long as they could, and are now attempting to manage @NZNationalParty 's PR through their partisan tabloid.

"People move between think tanks and politics all the time. But in this case the overlap is unusually direct: the policy area, the corporate interests, the ETS argument, hostility to court-led climate accountability, & the subsequent law change all point in the same direction."

Great to see someone calling out the increasingly anti-democratic relationship between @NZNationalParty and NZME, as @nzherald and @NewstalkZB seek to dominate the media with a grossly partisan agenda.

Given the National Party has very close ties to the Board and senior staff at NZ Herald, the cuts to RNZ are really an attempt to weaken a competitor and reduce media diversity.

@actparty Cutting jobs resuls in more jobs, huh?
Did you learn that logic at Atlas School, with your fake-arse Canadian accent?
