Royal Commission of Inquiry Into Media Bias

Peter Zohrab 2023

(Open Letter to the Deputy Prime Minister)

Dear Mr. Peters

Bribery of the Media

You have recently made a correct allegation of bias, corruption and bribery against the former Labour-led government and the media.

I have neither seen nor heard any media report detailing why your allegation is either correct or wrong,  but my understanding of the matter is as follows:

1. The Public Interest Journalism Fund has provided jobs for journalists, at a time when the economic viability of conventional journalism has been under stress from factors such as competition from the internet (including social media) and the correct perception that the media are biased and untrustworthy on many issues (such as Feminism and race). 

2. This fund has provided the jobs that help to ensure a pool of journalists is available to cycle in and out of providing relatively truthful public interest material, on the one hand, and producing propaganda which supports their individual and professional culture biases, on the other hand -- as well as censoring and ignoring contrary points of view. 

3. So the point is not that the Labour Party directly bribed journalists to support Leftist parties and policies over Rightist ones -- the media do that anyway!  The point is that market forces have been leading to a decline in the availability of jobs for biased journalists, as people vote with their wallets and turn to the greater freedom of the internet to get much of their information.  So the Labour-led Government was corruptly funding people who could be trusted to support its agenda more often than not.

4. Note that the Minister who instituted this fund was Kris Faafoi, the MP for Mana.  At one time, I lived in the Otaki electorate, quite close to Mana, and I had a lawyer called Peter Foster, who was once the Labour Party candidate for Otaki and also tried to get nominated as the Labour Party candidate for Mana.  He and I discussed media bias and we agreed that journalists tend to be Leftists. 

5. There is a huge amount of documentation on media bias, at places such as: Indoctucation by the Media-University Complex , Fake News (Media Bias)  and Fake News and Media Bias .

Royal Commission of Inquiry

I have the impression that the New Zealand First Party, at one point, was proposing a Royal Commission of Inquiry into media bias.  I don't know if this is now Government policy, or not, but I would like to urge the Government to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry into Media Bias.  The media love to talk disparagingly about "Populism", referring to politicians such as yourself.  However, Populism is largely a reaction to what Treasury used to call "Provider Capture", which is where the providers of a service (e.g. the media, the education system and the Public Service) dictate the political content of much of the information which they provide to the public.  This is undemocratic! 

Populism is the attempt to wrestle back the control of information away from such so-called "elite" groups.
