No. Stop consuming their product. Back to the story: I am glad to hear the professor say this, I thought I was loosing my marbles. I have modified the way I consume media. I treat every article like advertising. I used to get caught out, early 2000’s, by talkback radio style advertising where adverts were styled as an interview. Before I read any article on anything I have a conversation with myself, “This will reflect what the writer’s bias.” Stuff and MSN have made it easy for us. They have signed a charter that they support some ideologies and oppose others and debate will not move their dial on their TRUTH. After-all “97% of scientists” agree with them. ESG has resulted in the biggest transfer of wealth ….. to the wealthy on the basis that those in need will benefit. Unfortunately, the wealth transfer was not efficient and concentrated more wealth in the hands of the already wealthy. Mainstream media continues to be fans.

I have definitely noticed the MSM have been extremely biased with their reporting for a long time, making it almost impossible to watch anymore. The trouble is some people do still watch it, and I believe it is influencing this divisiveness in NZ that is completely wrong and unnecessary. It is giving a very loud and ugly voice to radical and violent opinions, and making it seem that kind of rhetoric is not only the norm but the "right" opinion - and if you disagree you have the "wrong" opinion. I think at the heart of it, it must be the kinds of people they are employing. I imagine a more balanced individual, or someone who supported National, Act or NZ First wouldn't even be considered for the job in MSM in the first place. So we only get this one-sided view, that feels very dangerous, and is not able to be challenged by the public because they kept the comments section turned off.

I've been commenting a lot on this on some Main Stream media KZread videos (When they actually allow comments), particularly the reports concerning the protests that happened the other day. The reports are full of "Anti-Maori" and "Racist Policies" accusations from the reporters and the people being interviewed, at no point did they mention what these policies are in detail. So I asked in the comments what those policies are, there was ONE person that actually answered the question and the rest was pure speculation and biased opinions with no actual argument behind them. This is what they are doing when they frame everything using the Racism narrative, people don't actually understand the policies they are accusing of being racist but they just hear the word and assume that they are. ACTs Treaty of Waitangi principle changes are the least racist thing I've seen from any of the parties so far to be honest, they are all about implementing equality for everyone and ensuring everyone has the same rights. It's disgusting in my opinion, the media are meant to be the middle man between the politics and the people, but they are creating their own version of politics to suit their own agenda.

It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Everybody has gone woke!

Isn't that what CNN and other media outlets tried to do with Trump

Poor Trump! The media was all going about his lies, fraud, criminal trials, rape, insurrection etc and never about his lovely smile.

Yes you can see it is a subtle constant attack.

Not so subtle but constant yes!!

Without doubt they are it’s bloody disgusting

How can we stop this ?

This is so interesting and scary at the same time. And our media wonder why they have lost the support of the public.

This guy has hit the mark …100%. Mainstream news editors influencing the narrative need to be gone.

Yes it goes deeper than that I think

Absolutely it’s so bloody obvious

It certainly worked tirelessly to undermine The Labour govt, hence the mess we are in now

Simple answer to the heading is yes, we can all see it to be true.

Winston said what we all think, Kudos to Mr Winston

This man is very wise. Im glad people are finally seeing this problem with our rotten media. Good interview, thank you.

Jenna Lynch mob doesn't even try to hide her contempt for the new government. She was making noise before they were even sworn in.

Rob is correct. TVNZ and RNZ are biased. I heard an interview on RNZ this afternoon of the freshly minted Transport Minister, Simeon Brown being given no chance to explain his solution of a replacement Auckland harbour crossing. He was expected to say exactly what type of crossing would replace the harbour bridge and how much it would cost. No matter how much he tried to explain that he was still waiting for advice (he's only been minister for 9 days) the interviewer insisted he gave an immediate answer with a full costing. Unlike the previous government who promised the world, but without doing any costings, he was not prepared to do the same. Cleanser RNZ will no give the new cooitition government an honeymoon period at all. Shame on Radio New Zealand. Winny for Minister of Broadcasting!!!!!

the government just needs to give them the cold turkey treatment - cut their funding and open the media to the market to expose itself and discover where the public place their attention. The only way to get a free and fair unbiased media. Most people I know have turned off Tv and RNZ news anyway.

If the majority of the people do not watch it or read it then it cannot be called main stream media.

Make Winnie the minister for broadcasting, privatise all the media and sort these left wing clowns out

Trumps whole term had an article everyday about bad orange man..

Great interview. Praying for New Zealand. Our Government. Blessing on you.Keep promoting balanced discussion. John

It's like someone saying: I was always wondering if the press is extremely left wing. And she/he says, I got it now!

Why does any public money even need to go on boadcasting?

Absolutely

Time for the defunding of nz media to start, renege on the contracts of the previous govt because of blatant bias, and misleading misinformation..

Thank god for the platform 🙏

Similar situation to the us media relentlessly going after a certain president of recent times.

and rightly so

Well they sure aren't helping. Instead of supporting the country all they do is negative reporting

yes it is, on the main news last night anti govt stories occupied double the space of the govt spokesman

Let's throw out the corrupt media.

How is this even a question - its undeniable

Keep up the good work.we have your back

Where is the investigation?

I could not agree more!

I keep saying this, name and shame these people at every opportunity! Totally unacceptable
