Stuff doco Fire and Fury.
I would like to bring to the attention that the documentary Stuff has decided to show is over dramatised and in many cases defamatory to some if not all,of the people they accused of spreading misinformation.
I am not one of the people defamed in their film,however,I personally know a number of these people,and they have told nothing but the truth....something that can be proven,if Stuff took the time to do their research,however,I've no doubt they have an agenda and a narrative to continue to push.
I'm really disappointed in Stuff.
When the media in NZ is paid by the govt ($125 million the past couple of years) to push their agenda and narrative,you could have been the media to stand up,stand out,and tell the truth,or at least share both sides of the story instead of running with a hit piece.
I've spent many years researching and investigating exactly what these speakers have been saying,before they even started saying them publicly.
I've even interviewed victims that they speak about,so please Stuff,do us all a favour and tell the truth!
Truth is an amazing healer,and after more than two years of not entirely being told the truth,we need a hero to stand up and start telling NZers what the truth is.
You are a platform that can make that change.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
