Double standards

Written by  Milking It

 

OPINION: As soon as RNZ realised MP Andrew Hoggard's sister worked for Dairy Companies Association of NZ (DCANZ) and was, shock horror, lobbying government on behalf of its members, it wasted no time accusing him of not managing conflicts of interests.

Contrast this with RNZ's refusal to cover the latest Green Party scandal - MP Benjamin Doyle being asked by the Deputy PM among others to explain his use of the offensive term 'bussy' on his social media.

Like most media, RNZ wouldn't touch the story, until the Green's spin was released, at which point they and all 'legacy media' ran the spin, minimising the severity of Doyle's actions and attacking those asking the questions.

Cue yet another survey, this one showing 61% of the public believe the media is misleading them.

Milking It has to wonder, when will woke media start joining the dots?
