David Farrar: The Herald’s censorship regime


The NZ Herald published an article about David Seymour responding to critics of the Treaty Principles Bill.

It was open for comments and there were 169 comments made. But the Herald then turned around and deleted every single comment, and locked it so no more can be made.

Fortunately someone took screenshots of them all. As you can see there were not obnoxious racist comments. They were mainly people backing Seymour.

I’ve read all 169 comments, and remarkably few would breach normal civil discourse. the Herald could of course have just deleted or hidden that tiny minority, but instead they deleted all 169 comments, including the ones which strongly backed Seymour and had the most upvotes.

And they have the cheek to demand the Government bail them out and force Google and Meta to fund them!

David Farrar runs Curia Market Research, a specialist opinion polling and research agency, and the popular Kiwiblog where this article was sourced. He previously worked in the Parliament for eight years, serving two National Party Prime Ministers and three Opposition Leaders.

The corrupt MSM hate having their propaganda questioned. It demonstrates how out of step with the fair minded public they are.

The MSM live on a different planet. We need to sever all connection with them.

Did you bother to ask the Herald what happened here, David? The comments are back up on the story in question so your line is a little askew here.
