Last year a website was set up to measure **media bias** in New Zealand. Both *Kiwiblog* and *The BFD* were mentioned and rated, as were left-wing blogs and all mainstream media.

Now that a year has passed I thought that it was time to compare how we are rated now with back then.

Back then ***Newshub*** was rated as the **most biased** (towards the left) of all the mainstream media. *The BFD* was ranked seventh **least biased** and was one of only two media outlets with a right-wing bias. The other was Kiwiblog.

Today the most biased of all the mainstream media according to [mediabias.co.nz](https://mediabias.co.nz/?ref=goodoil.news) is still **Newshub** with a bias rating of **7.2**.

> This year *The BFD* is ranked **third** least biased with a bias ranking of **5.4**

*The BFD* is **less biased** than *Stuff, Radio NZ, Newstalk ZB, TVNZ, The Spinoff, Kiwi Blog,* *Newsroom* and *Newshub.*

Another interesting calculation to look at is coverage. *The BFD* has more than **four times** the coverage of *Kiwiblog*, and has more coverage than *Newsroom* (an improvement as we were a little behind them last year) and almost **five times** the coverage of *Politik.*

What [this site](https://mediabias.co.nz/?ref=goodoil.news) proves without a shadow of a doubt is that our mainstream media are slanted to the left in an unrecoverable way. It also shows that not only are National and ACT fighting the left-wing political parties, they are also fighting the Media Party.

A recent example of this was highlighted this week by the Taxpayer’s Union.

#### Taxpayers Fund a Nasty Diatribe Accusing National MP of Racism

It would therefore be sensible for National and ACT politicians to engage less with the left-wing media and to engage more with *The BFD.*

There was a time when National Party figures wouldn’t appear on *Radio NZ*. That should now apply to *Newshub*.

The left-wing media are bought and paid for. They are a team of $55 Million. They are a lock for Labour.

Conservative voices are being drowned out. Let us be your megaphone against the cacophony of biased and left-wing media.
