Bias

Journalist bias

aggressive towards strikers

let Ministers off.

  • I am sick and tired of lazy journalists who are tireless in their critical questioning of union representatives and yet continue to fawn over Government Ministers whose mandate is questionable and judgement appalling. When journalists claim that people don’t support strikes, they do not represent me or many like me who do support them. They parrot the Government narrative, which they have been using for years… “What most people want to see is…” (for example an end to immigration, or some other sweeping statement). That is when I shout at the radio or TV and say, where is your evidence for making that statement, something the lazy journalists should be doing.
