Make it 1000%!
OPINION: The appendage swinging contest between the US and China continues, with China hitting back with a new rate of 125% on the US, up from the 84% announced earlier.
The role of supposedly impartial media was recently borne out to yours truly by the actions of the Science Media Centre (SMC) - funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), that is we the taxpayers - when offering 'experts' to comment on the disbanding of the Māori Health Authority.
The SMC, which claims to be a 'trusted, independent source of information for the media on all issues', offered up two supposed experts for comment.
Unfortunately, both had a clear bias towards supporting the MHA.
No wonder people are losing trust in media when only one view is put up as comment.
