1/200 S2E50 - Frame and Fortune

Description

This week we saw multiple clear examples of the way that right-wing politics manipulate and frame the media to suit them. From the coverage of MP Golriz Ghahraman to David Seymour’s bizarre pronouncements about voting and Te Tiriti it seems like there is little understanding of the ways in which news reporting is compromised, and this directly assists with the astro-turfing and radicalisation of politics in the West.
