Complaint over TVNZ coverage of Folic Acid debate

The NZ Organisation for Rare Disorders has filed a complaint over TVNZ’s coverage of the Folic Acid debate. The complaint is here.

While I don’t support the addition of folic acid into bread, they may have a point about some of the coverage. The Q&A show where Paul Holmes was almost accusing Kate Wilkinson of giving people cancer could well have been over the line.

It will be interesting to see TVNZ’s response, and if not upheld the decision of the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
