Insights From Social Media: When the Story Doesn’t Match the Truth

Roger Strong writes > This is the headline in today’s weekend POST newspaper ‘Crumbs From The White Man’s Table : The story of the Ngai Tahu deeds' – a full page article coming from Ngai Tahu Itself and the then there is this paragraph - ‘The relationship between the Crown and the iwi was established by the Treaty of Waitangi. It did not take long to be breached. The first step in the slow process that was Te Kerēme was taken in 1849, a mere nine years after the Treaty signing. A solution took nearly 150 more years, before the iwi signed the deed of settlement with the Crown in 1997'.

So we have an article that mixes up half-truths with outright lies and contains countless lies by omission-the things not mentioned (deliberately surely) that perpetuate even more lies.
