Poor suffering farmers - yeah right...

Having heard of the event, you may have been perplexed as to why it did not make it to the news or to the papers. It stands to reason that there were likely multiple witnesses to it, yet none of them apparently went to the media with the story, or perhaps the media decided not to pursue it for some unknown reasons.

Mainstream media platforms such as NZ Herald, Stuff, Newshub are far more inclined to add to the negative pile-on against any aspects of Labour policy and politicians. You need only scroll down the comments on such reporting to see how much RWNJ activity lurks within their readship. Anti Labour presents a far better click bait opportunity to them and if they report subjects sympathetic to Labour they risk alienating that customer base and their large business advertisers so no surprise there. As usual, follow the money to get the real answer.

Doesn't seem altogether fair & unbiased, does it - half of a story or a slanted story rather than the full facts.
