Bob Jones’ arrogant ignorant epistle yesterday on the Treaty is a great example.

Missed Headline op:

“Tribunal upholds Maori golden water rights over Keys head.”

It would be a ludicrous headline if it were to say ‘Pakeha draw first blood’. Furthermore, its not like your average Maori resident of Mangare or Porirua will benefit from these negotiations, and to portray the Maori Council as their representative is a bit absurd.

“Key in hot water”

“PM chewed up and spat out”

I guess the Herald Editor decided to trick people into reading it with a sensationalist headline?

Much better to have depicted lawyers as an autonomous, militant and violent collective. This is more believable.
