I had a bit of a chuckle over the self-righteous bossy boots from NZ First, writing to your fine paper last week.
Fancy telling the media they were 'supposed to be” writing about dearest Winston. The cheek of it!
The piece was a balanced look at the local political scene and no doubt would have also included reports from maybe Labour and the Greens, had they actually been doing anything newsworthy (which is a rarity around here.) Not only that, but Peters got a prominent picture, which was more than the other parties were given.
Last time I looked, the media was quite capable of making their own decisions about what constituted news, not political parties. Especially not the washed up ones.
The day the politicians and the parties start telling the newspapers what they are 'supposed” to write, is the day democracy comes crashing down around our ears.
Perhaps the NZ First cronies should relocate to Libya. I hear there's a vacancy coming up in a dictatorship there.
Carry on the great work, Sun.
R. Shaw, Welcome Bay.
