UN AND OXFAM CAUGHT BRIBING NEW ZEALAND MEDIA TO WRITE CRUSADING CLIMATE STORIES.

In the US, way back on New Year’s Day 1970, Walter Cronkite marched into CBS’s news offices and bellowed, “God damn it, we’ve got to get on this environmental story,” according to one of his producers — and Uncle Walter’s network has been producing endless crusading climate stories ever since. In 1990, Andrea Mitchell claimed that when it comes to environmentally themed stories, “clearly the networks have made the decision now, where you’d have to call it advocacy.” And in 2007, old media house organ Editor & Publisher was advising its customers that when it comes to “Climate Change: Get Over Objectivity, Newspapers.”

I’m sure the Kiwi equivalent of the MSM appreciated the extra walking-around money, but how much bribery was really needed to sway them?
