In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon shares a story of life and resilience by a young mother in Haiti, as well as another awful massacre of Christians by jihadists in Congo. He notes how New Zealand media largely ignore such stories, or are selective in their outrage. Simon also talks about the double standards in sports where players pushing progressive grievances are celebrated, whereas conservatives and others are censored and silenced. He also discusses Dr Bryce Edward’s Integrity Institute's lobbying efforts including paying the media outlet, Newsroom, to run stories for them. Simon questions how this is ethical, while noting the irony of the Institute acting as a lobbyist against lobbyists.
