Just a neutral academic

This is the co-chair of Health Coalition Aotearoa. If you followed media coverage of them commenting on school lunches, you’d believe they were politically-neutral academics. @1NewsNZ was shown this before it ran a story at 6pm quoting them, but chose not to inform its viewers. pic.twitter.com/U4n01bctvz

For those who can’t see the graphics, the co-chair of the Health Coalition Aotearoa tweeted:

We now have a fascist white supremacist government
She hopes David Seymour never breeds
The Government has a deliberate policy to kill off Maori

Yet this person gets treated by the media as a neutral expert, with masses of air and print time. Now imagine a right leaning academic said the Ardern Government was a Marxist racist Government, how Jacinda should never breed, and they have a deliberate policy to kill off Europeans. How much media space would that person get – zero right. They would rightfully be dismissed as an extremist.

People have every right to be an extremist. It’s good we get to see how deranged some of these people are. But lets not pretend they are neutral experts.
