Extraordinary TV Report
The TV 3 News item covering the upcoming referendum on smacking must be one of the most extraordinary items ever seen.
It was a blatant attempt to influence voters and discredit the referendum.
Just who do these reporters think they are? To suggest that reporting should be without bias is a joke.
The cut snips of the party leaders were put together to make it sound as though they were saying they wanted to change the referendum question,which is outrageous after it has been through due process and the report implied they would review the very question of holding referenda.
Appalling journalism.
What should be noted is that the initial parliamentary vote was because of a bill introduced by an MP who was never elected and was passed by a so called conscience vote controlled by parties.
MP’s should not have conscience votes and list MP’s should not be able to introduce bills.
