This week's Midweek MediaWatch quoted comments made about political polls on the Newsable podcast. David Farrar of polling company Curia - which produces polls for the National party - admitted that poll results released close to an election can influence the election results:

Surely it's unacceptable for any business activity funded by political parties and media organisations to distort election outcomes?

Paul Barry just saying Facebook should put a 'disputed' label on Peta Credlin's 26-page Voice conspiracy theory rather than the current 'false information' warning. It's only one Sky News post which was RMIT fact-checked and she hasn't been censored. Readers can still click through the warning to view her segment abc.net.au/mediawatch/episodes

Anyone who's already calling the election for the NatACTs is pushing propaganda, whether they mean to or not. For one thing, the polls are swinging as wildly as a compass needle in the Bermuda Triangle.

In step with this, NewsHub nation mentioned that according a "NZ election study, 30-40% of people haven't made their mind up". Quoted last week on MediaWatch:

Certain forms of theft and violent crime have been running rampant in NZ. In other news...

Shock, horror! When you put 20 rats in a cage with only enough space and food for 10, they'll fight and steal from each other in an attempt to survive. But new research reveals, this is not a consequence of "rat nature", and can't be blamed entirely on the behaviour of a minority of "bad apples" among the group of rats.

You may not be interested in the Matildas but there's an interesting media case study. At one point they couldn't get enough spectators to cover costs of opening a stadium. Then all the media got interested. Now the most watched event. abc.net.au/mediawatch/episodes

@RoddersClassics @ArrestJK I got slammed by 's for a tweet I made when Jerry Collins was killed in France about hoping the J Collins wasn't the former All Black. My wife and I had RNZ Sunday Morning on when Colin Peacock called me out for abusing my position. My wife was really pissed off with me and I quit doing Animation Nation (for free) not long after that.

I guess it's possible. Sky News has humans dressed as journalists.
