Frankly this is bullshit @NZStuff
1) Yr choice of headline. Yet, yr choice of photo.
2) Yr tag for yr website: "Police injured & marchers spotted with guns"
After seeing 48hrs of live news on US, Stuff is only one to prioritise & #39;police injuries& #39;. Why not "Journos are being shot"? https://twitter.com/NZStuff/status/1266913300941398018">https://twitter.com/NZStuff/s...
+ Hey, Stuff:
my TL offers egs of Press Accred journos being harrassed & shot (some while live on air) by cops,
and protestors being assaulted, seriously injured & shot (all caught on video) by cops.

@NZStuff team know all of this.

Which begs the qstn - why the bias? & framing?
+ @NZStuff - for consideration when you formulate your next US protests & #39;headline& #39;:

1) a clip of NYPD driving into barricades/over protestors https://twitter.com/ava/status/1266904043063963649">https://twitter.com/ava/statu...
+ @NZStuff

2) Louisville police (tweet by a USA Today journo) https://twitter.com/nataliealund/status/1266877181164089349">https://twitter.com/natalieal...
+ @NZStuff

3) Profile this journo, who was given leaked Pentagon docs about the protests, wrote an article today & is now fielding more leaks from military who& #39;ve contacted him. They tell him they& #39;re not trained for this & fear they& #39;ll hurt protestors https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1266895430643826689">https://twitter.com/kenklippe...
+ @NZStuff

4) Most impt, there& #39;s 1000s of stories/pics/clips of what& #39;s happened to peaceful protestors. None had & #39;guns& #39;.

Where& #39;s Stuff coverage of that? Los Angeles, today?

* Broaden yr scope
* Widen yr coverage
* QUIT IT with the biased framing. What side of history you on?

This thread (from NYT journo) will aid your team in the goal you& #39;ll now take on of unbiased and wider coverage of the events in the USA. https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1266973531289477121">https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac...

6:45pm & your biased racist phrasing remains on the mainpage of Stuff website.

And NO UPDATE since 3:42pm?!

You are spectacularly out of step with public sentiment in NZ & out of touch with the realities on the ground across the US.

Honestly, it& #39;s fucking shameful.

This story is now #1 in your Most Popular list. So Kiwis care, yeah? History is happening live on social media.

Why have your editors not priortised an update of the story?

At this point I could write it myself bc you clearly don& #39;t give a shit. Pull finger NZStuff.
+ @NZStuff

As soon as you change, or acknowledge, I& #39;ll stop. Deal?

Til then, I ask that you add this to your coverage of the events in the US. https://twitter.com/flatout_brown/status/1266795338511323137">https://twitter.com/flatout_b...

Now the perspective that you& #39;re providing to NZ readers can be amended to include "New Jersey crowd of peaceful, smiling, DANCING protestors". (Cause = no cops yet.) There& #39;s no looting. No aggro. No & #39;disorder& #39;. https://twitter.com/FrostyTheSkid/status/1266844355148632064">https://twitter.com/FrostyThe...

Flint, Michigan: in a place where black communities in particular still have no clean drinking water & suffer the effects of lead poisoning, protestors allow the Sheriff to speak to and then walk with them. https://twitter.com/midmichigannow/status/1266907736735956996">https://twitter.com/midmichig...

The looters "were undercover detectives hired by NYPD...
the cops are trying to set us up right now... that is not the narrative we& #39;re for painting for our generation... we want peace, we want unity, we want to feel safe again in our country" https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1266935464021430274">https://twitter.com/AndrewSol...

@Slate show some journalistic integrity with their headlines today:
- "Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide"
- "Police don& #39;t change"
- "Proportionate Response: When destroying a police precinct is a reasonable reaction" https://twitter.com/davecobb/status/1266998784061394944">https://twitter.com/davecobb/...
