Taking a swipe?

The Weelend Sun's report (12 August) on Winston Peter's public meeting in Tauranga last week was surely meant to be just that, with a good sized photo of him. Yet the headline was 'No plans to work with Winston” and the article began with the words 'At the National Party Conference”, followed by a comment by Simon Bridges, and finished with another long quote from Simon Bridges on what was happening at the National Party Conference.
This is appalling journalism. The article should have stuck to the subject - the Tauranga meeting that had absolutely nothing to do with National's conference. I thought your paper was above denigrating our former MP and pushing National - but it seems you are just like the rest of the media in taking every opportunity to take a swipe at him.
