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 'police injuries'. Why not "Journos are being shot"? https://twitter.com/NZStuff/status/1266913300941398018
+ 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 'headline':

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

2) Louisville police (tweet by a USA Today journo) https://twitter.com/nataliealund/status/1266877181164089349
+ @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've contacted him. They tell him they're not trained for this & fear they'll hurt protestors https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1266895430643826689
+ @NZStuff

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

Where'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'll now take on of unbiased and wider coverage of the events in the USA. https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1266973531289477121

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'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't give a shit. Pull finger NZStuff.
+ @NZStuff

As soon as you change, or acknowledge, I'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

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

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

Protesters. https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1266924387795709954
+ @NZStuff

The looters "were undercover detectives hired by NYPD...
the cops are trying to set us up right now... that is not the narrative we'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
+ @NZStuff

@Slate show some journalistic integrity with their headlines today:
- "Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide"
- "Police don't change"
- "Proportionate Response: When destroying a police precinct is a reasonable reaction" https://twitter.com/davecobb/status/1266998784061394944
