'Blackout' protest over controversial copyright law reaches Parliament - Video

This whole situation needs to be reported to the United Nations court of human rights. end of.

I completely agree with all those people remarking how inaccurately reported this protest and issue was. They completely missed the point and appeared to have no intention of even trying to report the truth.

This is just proof that you can't believe whats in the media and in fact that the news in NZ does not care about reporting events as they happen without bias.

This was a distorted representation and did not make Joe Public any more aware of this hideous crime that the NZ government is trying to pass as a law.

It makes me ashamed of both the media and the government here and makes me think that both are in fact working together on points like this and perhaps the pocket linings of tv3 news has been layered with a few more dollars for this misrepresentation.

The comments here have buttons that say 'Report Abuse' but pity that you can't use this to report the abuse of public trust by tv3 news :(
