The media is turning on itself, and that was especially noticeable last week when Newstalk ZB’s Heather de Plessis-Allan went ballistic about TVNZ’s coverage of the hikoi to Parliament.
Media have revtettabky never been objrctive and as thosecof us who have worked in that fiekd know ( I broadcasted and cohosted a show for years (when employed at a terriary institution) to promote classes and also produced a radio programme on Canterbury art/ ists) you focus on an area of interest. When writung for scoop on Sea Shepherd my bias waa clear and too when exposing Tyson's criminal record on scoop. Bias exists. But in the interests of informing the public one a. Shoild declare thar bias or pov and b. Ensure facts are reported. c. Ifvaxmedia outler claims independence and objectivity; it should detail/ cite its reseaech/ sources, try to elucidate any obscure points and not deliberately mislead...or obfuscate.
Nevak Rodgers needs to decide where her allegiance lies and does she want to do the job she is paid for. It will be a bad look if she cant do her job properly.
When you look at The Listener - sick of all the totally biased stories in what used to be a good read!
