Rural Parents Blindsided By Bus Route Changes
OPINION: Rural school buses is a topic I have had a great deal of correspondence on over the last couple of months.
Despite this, the country’s major media outlets ignored the story, preferring to cover woke principals who prioritise ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi’ in schools over achievement.
Luckily this sort of selective media bias doesn’t exist in rural media, right?
Wrong! Just ask Groundswell, the Methane Science Accord or any other group not toeing the establishment line how often rural media, other than Rural News, will cover their activities.
They don’t, preferring to run the party line from the Wellington ag-establishment they are joined at the hip with.
Your old mate reckons these chinless wonders have forgotten their job is to challenge the powers that be, not parrot them.
