"The opening line of a news story is the most important; it’s the only one everyone will read (if you’re reading this, congratulations - a depressingly large chunk of readers dropped off almost immediately).
The first line contains the most crucial information within the inverted pyramid structure many journalists use." Charlie Mitchell 17 June 2023
It is said that reporter did not inform true picture of Ukraine, which was supposed to be view of states supplying weapons to Ukraine. Read
Conflict can be minimized if the media reports facts and avoid rhetoric. But the contradiction is that journalists need money for food, clothing, shelter, internet, and traveling. Journalists live in society and are as human beings as other members of society.
Jaipal Singh --
New Zealanders are losing trust in media at a time where media companies are conducting editorial audits and journalists are demonstrating clear bias in reporting.
In New Zealand we once had quality investigative journalists who did research to find the facts first and then publish a balanced report – there are still some, but far too many now publish an opinion piece first and to hell with the facts.
Meanwhile, an investigation is being conducted into government funded RNZ for editing and publishing false and manipulated information across multiple articles.
This is an alarming indictment of our media and kiwis should be worried. We clearly have biased media in New Zealand, conditioned to publish only what they believe is true - not what is fact. And this incident will not be isolated.
Perhaps this is why sixty percent of New Zealanders now don’t trust the media and seventy percent actively avoid watching or listening to them altogether.
That is why we are launching a petition calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into media bias and manipulation in New Zealand.
New Zealand First calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into media bias and manipulation in New Zealand. A Royal Commission is the most serious response to an issue available and investigates matters of great importance and difficulty.
Jaipal Singh, ensuring our media organisations function as intended is crucial for a democratic nation like New Zealand.

If you want to destabilize an unfriendly country, use the internet. Shaheen Bagh and Farmers protests are in line with destabilization tactics used in Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Libya, and Syria. The result is known to all intelligent people and young in particular. Those protests lead to massacres, destruction, and migration, including rapes of women and children. Humanity must learn lessons from history. All destruction was done in the name of human rights.

Chris Wilson writes https://twitter.com/Chris___Wilson/status/1356905767358455810 about US "Oath Keepers and other anti-government groups "have veered into far-right extremism in a deluge of disinformation, much of it online, and appeals to xenophobia about Muslims and immigrants that Trump tapped into regularly." nbcnews.com/politics/polit via @nbcnews
The founder of a far-right militia once warned of federal tyranny by Josh Lederman on February 3, 2021, in NBC News and explains Trump's mind.
"I sometimes get angry emails from frustrated people asking, 'When is the military going to march on D.C. and clean out that den of vipers?'" Rhodes said. He said he responded by asking them whom the Constitution designates to suppress insurrections and repel invasions, and he added: "It is not the standing army. It is the militia. And who is the militia? We, the people."

On May 3, 2020, the world marked World Press Freedom Day, paying tribute to journalists of the world who contribute their time and effort to inform the public. The European Union, the United Nations, and the United States put out official statements in celebrating the day. Still, this particular year, these statements had a unique common theme: accuracy in the time of coronavirus pandemic. This article will explore the climate of freedom of speech in the midst of a deadly pandemic, alongside the ‘fake news’ phenomenon known to promote misinformation into people’s media diets. It will discuss the nature of fake news, sustaining freedom of speech that coexists with fake news, and potential misinformation management proposed by scholars.
The ‘fake news’ phenomenon had been ongoing even before Trump popularized the term during the 2016 United States Presidential Election whenever he was faced with unfavorable media coverage. According to Alcock, the current fake news phenomenon resembles early forms of propaganda, perhaps in one way, similar to tactics used by the Nazi regime during the Second World War, which involved “making false news seem genuine and making genuine news seem false.”[1] With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing, fake news became more vibrant, and social media companies have come under pressure to restrict such information from their platforms.
There is a division between scholars on how false information ended up on people’s media diet. Zaller argued that freedom of speech involves creating a climate where people do not fear speaking. But certain figures abuse this climate to gain fame and profit by spreading false information.[2] Borchers claims that false news emerges with a lack of news literacy education, keeps people, and Trump, in their information bubble, which often has false information floating around.[3] Both claims have plausibility and flaws and highlight how vulnerable people currently are to fake news.
During a pandemic, misinformation and fake news can be a matter of life and death for some people. With news such as coronavirus was caused by the 5G network, taking hydroxychloroquine as a miracle cure, or believing coronavirus is a political hoax that will magically go away by the end of the year, questions arise around the amount of liberty that one should have in a speech that has a potentially negative effect on vulnerable people. Mudde sees the dilemma of managing freedom of speech in a pandemic. He explains the urgent need to restrict false information in media to protect frontline workers from becoming silenced while preventing a fall into the trap of giving political leaders “dictatorial powers” of taking away too much freedom of speech, such as in Hungary.[4] Mudde did not explain how to achieve such balance, but he emphasized that people must fight against leaders using authoritarian measures in response to the pandemic.
The current state of the fake news phenomenon highlights the ongoing debate of how to balance freedom of speech and censorship more than before. Governments and media outlets are experimenting with how to responsibly minimize the dire influence of false information. Alcock proposes tackling fake news similarly to the way allies tackled Nazi propaganda during the Second World War: forewarning, counterpropaganda, ‘focus on truth,’ and critical thinking. Forewarning is about detecting the misinformation before it spreads; counterpropaganda is about attacking false claims directly; ‘focus on truth’ consistently provides accurate information to gain trust amongst the population, and critical thinking is “encouraging the critical analysis of information.”[5] Borchers proposes more news literacy in the education system, following PEN America’s recommendation, with a competent warning system that would prevent fraudulent news purveyors from profiting.[6]
Despite all the debates and discussions, the pandemic ravages humanity, and the fake news phenomenon continues to deceive some people. The challenge of sustaining freedom of speech and containing fake news continues, and time will tell whether we have succeeded in finding this balance. Scholars have shown different approaches to tackling the fake news phenomenon. Now, in the midst of a pandemic where people’s lives are at stake, the solution for this freedom of speech and fake news containment dilemma has become more urgent.
