Midweek Mediawatch

From Lately, 10:45 pm on 11 August 2021

Mediawatch’s weekly catch-up with Lately. Colin Peacock talks to Karyn Hay about what the media made of an Olympics that turned out better than many expected in Tokyo - while rugby looked a little unloved back home. Also - National Party members overlooked in coverage of the conference; reports of an MP's social media slip-up that prompted criticism  - and a student lifts the lid on the far-right.
