(Infowars) New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that taxpayer funds would be set aside for journalists who produce stories pre-approved by the government.
Ardern explained the initiative during a so-called “Democracy Summit” last week to representatives of the U.S., Australia, Denmark, and Norway.
“We’ve also seen the spread of misinformation on COVID-19, particularly through social media,” Ardern said. “We made it a priority to establish a public interest journalism fund to help our media continue to produce stories that keep New Zealanders informed.”
In other words, New Zealand is essentially commissioning its own state-run news similar to the former Soviet Communist Party’s “Pravda” newspaper.
In her opening remarks, Ardern even brazenly claimed that democracy is “being challenged across the globe” by protesters demonstrating against draconian COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates across the western world.
