I agree that we have a biased media. We probably disagree about the bias though. I actually call it unprofessional and disrespectful as in this article which is doing a disservice to New Zealanders who expect better. I refer to the reporter’s questions to the Labour candidate about being ashamed and embarrassed about the result and how she had done so badly. This is shaming. It sows a seed that the person did badly, just as asking if someone is a paedophile would even if the person denies it.
Watch - 'What a ridiculous question': White 'proud' of election result despite narrow margin in Labour stronghold (msn.com)
On the preliminary results, Helen White has reduced Labour's almost 20,000 vote margin from the last election to just 103.
Newshub Political Editor Jenna Lynch said on election night that White "should be
ashamed of herself" about that result.
Newshub asked White whether she was
embarrassed about almost losing the Mt Albert seat.
"No, I'm really, really proud of my result," White responded.
Newshub followed up by asking
how she had done so badly.
