Media council upholds complaints against RNZ for stories about government decision on when to end MIQ

Quote:
The Media Council welcomes investigative journalism. However the majority decided that the three RNZ articles summarised the Ministry of Health document incorrectly. While accepting that RNZ was working from only one Ministry of Health memo it was misleading to indicate, as the RNZ articles did, that an abandonment of MIQ was now recommended in that first memo. In fact the memo qualified the move from MIQ by saying it had to be a carefully managed and staged transition amongst other qualifications. The Director-General of Health's recommendation was that MIQ "may" no longer be justified. The government responses included at the end of the first and second articles did not correct this unfairness.
I suppose this means The Media Council is on the government take as well? They step in when broadcasters forget the government money they enjoy?
