Friend --
New Zealanders are losing trust in media at a time where
media companies are conducting editorial audits and journalists are
demonstrating clear bias in reporting.
In New Zealand we once had quality
investigative journalists who did research to find the facts first and
then publish a balanced report – there are still some, but far too
many now publish an opinion piece first and to hell with the facts.
Meanwhile, an investigation is
being conducted into government funded RNZ for editing and publishing
false and manipulated information across multiple articles.
This is an alarming indictment of
our media and kiwis should be worried. We clearly have biased media in
New Zealand, conditioned to publish only what they believe is true -
not what is fact. And this incident will not be isolated.
Perhaps this is why sixty percent
of New Zealanders now don’t trust the media and seventy percent
actively avoid watching or listening to them altogether.
That is why we are launching a
petition calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into media bias and
manipulation in New Zealand.
New Zealand First calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry
into media bias and manipulation in New Zealand. A Royal
Commission is the most serious response to an issue available and
investigates matters of great importance and difficulty.
Friend, ensuring our media organisations function as intended
is crucial for a democratic nation like New
Zealand.
Sign your support to return the media to what
it used to be - where journalistic integrity and fair
reporting is paramount.
