Lushington D. Brady: Flogging Luxon with a Wet Lettuce Leaf

We all know the New Zealand media have been bought and paid for by the Labour government with its so-called “Public Interest” Journalism Fund, but, jeez, do they have to make it so obvious? Hardly a day goes by that Kiwis aren’t inundated with the most ludicrous beat ups and confected hit pieces from the Team of $55 million.

And, of course, as the polls continually narrow, their favourite target remains National’s leader, Chris Luxon.

Wendy Geus: Media ignore the real story behind Luxon's Tesla rejection

In his downtime, he favours a low emission vehicle which is not the most salubrious form of transport.

Had the star of the story been the Labour Prime Minister the real story behind the Tesla (non) story would have been immediately up in headlines on all media outlets.

Sadly that was not to be, as coverage is strictly controlled and sanitised aound Christopher Luxon and whenever possible negative, humiliating events are the stories of choice.
