THE MEDIA HAVE FAILED UTTERLY IN THEIR BASIC DUTY OF REPORTAGE (Letter to Dom Post, April 15)

The public have been ‘lulled into a false sense of security’ (Kiwis taking to ‘hillbilly heroin’, April 15) not just over oxycodone, but also in regard to a major reason for so many New Zealanders’ addiction to it. Like Charlotte Dawson they’ve undergone abortions and are paying a terrible price, some like Charlotte with their lives. And why have we been lulled into this false sense of security? Because the media in refusing to acknowledge the damage done not just to the unborn but to their mothers and fathers, have failed utterly in their basic duty of reportage.
