In a recent clash over media integrity, New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour has taken aim at TVNZ, accusing the broadcaster of shaping narratives and manipulating public perception through selective editing of interviews. The controversy centers around an interview with TVNZ's John Campbell, where Seymour brought his own camera to bypass traditional media formats and present unedited content to the public. Seymour argues that the power to edit is being abused, and that by providing raw footage, ACT can offer a more authentic portrayal of political discussions. TVNZ, however, defends its practices, stating that full, unedited versions of interviews are already available on its platform, TVNZ+. The exchange highlights a broader debate about trust in media and the evolving role of digital platforms in shaping public opinion. As viewers increasingly turn to social media and YouTube for unfiltered content, the pressure is on traditional media to adapt or risk losing relevance.
