MSM Incitement of the Day

TVNZ is apologising after Breakfast hosts fired at a doll of former US President Donald Trump using a look-a-like gun during a live broadcast.

[…] The stunt has been widely condemned by viewers

[…] Host Matty McLean then addressed viewers by speaking directly to the camera and said: “Get a little doll, a Donald Trump doll, and go hard.”

Among the outraged social media users, David Seymour took to Twitter to question the appropriateness of encouraging people to shoot a doll of a politician given recent reporting on political abuse and vitriol. […] is this the same TVNZ that’s been complaining about the abuse of politicians for the last week?”

[…] Another Twitter user said: “Imagine the outrage if American breakfast TV show hosts took turns shooting a Jacinda Ardern doll with salt guns while laughing and mocking her.”
