Media pile on

Written by  Milking It
Media pile on

OPINION: Staying on media double standards, another example of the woke media was on full display last week.

A National MP hosts people from a fringe religious group, which is under investigation for alleged child abuse in NZ and overseas and its front-page news - and a media pile on begins.

Ilam MP Hamish Campbell said while he's been made aware of the historical allegations through the media, he has no personal knowledge of the individuals involved. A scientist for the last 20 years, Campbell said he has an association to the group through my family.

Compare this MP's case to Green MP Benjamin Doyle's case and you wonder why some people cannot have enough contempt for the hypocrisy of legacy media.
