Mixed messages from media on Parliament's protesters

9:10 am on 27 February 2022

Last week much of the coverage of the occupation paralysing part of the capital made the mob look mad, bad and dangerous to be around. As it dragged on, parts of the media painted a much more palatable picture of the people who would not be moved. Ironically though, many of the protesters still really hate the media - and their own media channels reveal why.
