News media reported the other day that TVNZ cut way from its Olympics coverage to run an ad break instead. Here is how the *NZ Herald* reported it:

> TVNZ has decided to stay quiet after copping criticism for flicking to an ad break during a moment of silence in the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony.  
>  
> The moment was to honour those who had died throughout the world over the past 18 months because of Covid-19 that the ceremony paused for a minute’s silence.  
>  
> At that same moment, TVNZ’s coverage cut from Tokyo to an advertisement break, immediately sparking a flood of outrage on social media.  
>  
> While TVNZ had made viewers aware beforehand the coverage would not be an uninterrupted affair, it had noted it would only cut to ad breaks at carefully chosen moments.  
>  
> NZ Herald

So there was an outcry on social media because TVNZ cut away from the one-minute of silence at the Tokyo games for those who died from Covid to go instead to an ad break.

> Except that isn’t what happened. They cut away from the announcement that the minute of silence was **also for the Israelis who died in the terrorist attack at the 1972 Munich games**.

Our anti-Semitic terrorist-hugging media didn’t want to cover that part. The announcement was historic, it is 49 years since the massacre and this is [the first time they’ve ever been acknowledged by the Olympics](https://www.jns.org/israelis-murdered-at-1972-munich-olympics-honored-in-moment-of-silence-in-tokyo/?ref=goodoil.news). **But TVNZ shamefully cut away.**

Here is the actual announcement:

TVNZ have allowed their anti-Semitic and anti-Israel editorial position to compromise them and, worse, they lied about it.

No wonder trust in the media is so low.
