David Seymour, NZ Broadcasting Minister, calls TVNZ a "bad actor" for covering Mark Cameron's comments about hanging those he disagreed with a "short rope". He later says TVNZ caused ACT to do more poorly in the polls than it could have
As we all know, a Broadcasting Shareholding Minister is not allowed to interfere with the independent journalism of RNZ or TVNZ but hey that's never stopped them
But the attacks are getting more and more overt
He also says "TVNZ are accountable to no-one" while literally talking to The Platform - a broadcaster which is accountable to no-one now the govt is abolishing the BSA
