In breaking news, the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) has just figured out that 1News is biased, and particularly so towards President Donald Trump. Too little. Too late. We show you how many other examples they’ve missed.
Well-known broadcaster Peter Williams pays his ‘respects’ to the welcome death of the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA). He explains why we don’t need the so-called ‘watchdog’, and discusses what should replace it. He also reminds families and especially parents that the distrust in government agencies like the BSA is well earned, and stresses the importance of positive family supervision and discernment to protect our children from the declining standards in our media generally.
You would think that the Greens might be a little more careful about their candidates – given their history with Kerekere, Golriz, Darleen, Tamatha & Benjamin – and perhaps think about looking a little more diverse – and normal. Dream on. Things have just got… er… worser.
Transgender Doctor, ‘Antisemitic’ Bondi Beach Concert, Social Media Ban, Anzac Day Boos… much to chat about with our Australian correspondent Lyle Shelton.
What this week’s story about a ‘homophobic’ slur by a 1News reporter really reveals is the huge hypocrisy of the cultural left and the media, and their manufactured outrage when pushing a narrative. Israel Folau didn’t even use a homophobic slur. He just posted a Bible verse and an explanation. The outrage and hysteria is selective, depending on who does it, and whether it has a Christian basis. If it does, all hell will break loose. Literally. Maiki should be safe.
WATCH THIS EXPOSÉ – A ThreeNews 6pm story last Thursday night is probably one of the most egregious examples of a news network deliberately misleading viewers with a certain narrative – and a whole lot of cutting and splicing and misrepresenting to achieve that end. It’s an eye-opening case study of everything that has gone wrong with the legacy media.
Quite the story broke in the US this week which uncovered damning information about one of the NZ media’s favourite international sources on faaaaaaar right and white extremist groups. The SPLC organisation is being accused of secretly paying leaders of the very “hate” groups it was publicly tracking. The problem for the now-discredited SPLC – just like the recently deceased Disinformation Project – is that they have a clear underlying narrative and ideology which clouds their judgement; they are clearly on the extreme end of left wing politics; they appear to hate social conservative values, Christian organisations & traditional families; and they categorise anything they disagree with as disinformation and ‘hate’. Now who are the media going to use!
We speak to our US correspondent Glenn Stanton from Focus on the Family based in Colorado. Topics include the video that went viral which was posted by a same-sex couple; evidence that the Biden administration partnered with radical abortion activist organisations to target, surveil and imprison pro-lifers; the fall-out from Trump’s Jesus meme and his disagreement with the Pope; and pro-abortion “ethicists” are now asserting that “justice for girls” demands that all underage pregnancies end in the death of the unborn child — even if it requires physically or chemically subduing the mother against her will.
Steve Maile is a NZ-born preacher who has lived in the UK for the past 40+ years. He is the senior pastor of Oasis City Church in Watford, but has also preached on the street in various cities around the world. Last weekend he was arrested by three officers while preaching the gospel in his home town of Watford. But Maile is not the first preacher – or even just a person praying silently – to be arrested in the UK. We speak to Steve.
The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) – you know, the organisation tasked to protect broadcasting “standards”, but which has allowed them to slip to the point where we don’t actually even think that broadcasters let alone the BSA have any standards at all – yeah, them – they’re hopefully about to be scrapped. All because of some mumbo jumbo. Literally. They were more concerned about the phrase “mumbo jumbo” than they were about the blatantly obvious increase in the level of sexual and offensive material on free-to-air television. A spectacular own goal. And the potential demise of the BSA comes not a moment too soon. We take a look back at some of their decisions.
