peni,
 
Not so and you're letting your ignorance of proper due process lead you into paranoia.
 
When the actual piece was screened at the Pacific Freedom Forum in Apia, Samoa, there was robust debate afterwards. I had not seen the introduction previously, and feel that the story was softest at that point. I said so, and urged the government of Samoa to pursue its complaint with the BSA - as it had at that stage yet to do so, despite a week or so of generating media controversy.
 
As I said then and say now, let due process take its course. My comment about One News was in no way to suggest that TVNZ has the final say on anything. If anyone feels the BSA ruling is a whitewash, then it's also entirely proper to say so. But, hey, that's just me, don't let the facts get in the way of some good old fashioned hysteria.
 
As a point of ethics, I agree with the point raised by my colleague Ono Ivi that it is improper for TVNZ to continue running the promo while the story it illustrates is under active complaint. There was no complaint at the time when the promo began running, and it is entirely proper, also, for a media organisation to assess the validity of a news story and then decide whether or not to back their reporter. TVNZ has made that decision.

Thank you for your response but does that mean TVOne is the decider of
what is correct even before it is judged by the BSA?
I wonder what is the point of the BSA then?
I think if a complaint has been made then they should respect this and
withdraw until a decision is made.
This would show respect for transparency and process would it not?
Rather than arrogant thinking we are right no matter what.
