Bias Blowback
OPINION: It's no surprise to this old mutt that some politicians are done playing nice with the low rent media pack that hounds them looking for a 'gotcha' moment.
But your old mate reckons it's as much about what they don't, or won't, say that undermines public trust.
For example, One News recently ran a negative story about higher gang numbers, while ignoring the massive reduction in violent crime that was announced on the very same day.
Stuff did the same thing in a recent story about a jump in EV sales.
It quoted the far lower percentage changes for petrol, hybrid and diesel vehicles, but just the percentages - not how many units were sold.
Why not?
Because over 10 times as many non-EV vehicles (including hybrids) as pure EVs were sold.
Which didn't suit the narrative, did it?
