The presence of a news organisation operating with the Prime Minister's office is a profoundly unsettling revelation.
Stuff launched The Whole Truth in 2020 as an election fact-checking project. It was then “re-imagined” as a project to counter Covid misinformation. In that guise it was first funded by a Google grant and then by $591,000 from NZ On Air.
From government, the project was…

Looking at the Cookers responses to this tweet Chris, it's obvious why we needed public spend to ensure facts and information were communicated to people. History is littered with pandemics where scurrilous people push lies to the gullible. This is a non-story.

Who decides what’s the truth? The Prime Minister’s Office? I get your sentiment though. Have a good day.

Those who do their own research are probably not surprised. One thing… you can’t stop word of mouth … and the average person is not as gullible as our leaders seem to believe. There are great minds out there… I come across them all the time. Everyday. People tell me they are…

I would like to see the timeline of Larry Page approval for New Zealand, residency, and his donation to the Whole Truth project.

Surely this should come as no surprise to you? It was pretty evident when Labour got in and even dear old Andrea Vance wrote about their control over media a few years ago.

The Disinformation Project is not a random, benign creation that just ‘happened’. It is a tool of the Censorship Industrial Complex, and it’s recruiting strategic allies.

Politicians, philanthropists, and NGOs say they want free and open societies, but they don't. In fact, they are waging the most serious attack on fundamental freedoms in 100 years. The Internet's enabling it, elites are paying for it, and narcissism & psychopathy are fueling it.

I would be pretty ashamed of myself if I worked for MSM and not call this continued propaganda machine to account.
There is still time for those who have any self respect to do the thing. Clearly Chris Lynch is one who is prepared to do the right thing for the NZ public.
