This is plainly intimidation for politically incorrect articles by the press. It's an attack of free press in this country.

All the articles in New Zealand media are already too pro-Ukraine. Last month The Press had two pro-Ukraine articles, one by the Ukrainian ambassador, and another by Kate Turska (Mahi For Ukraine).

Those sound like opinion pieces. They are allowed to be biased. You don't see opinion pieces supporting Russia for invading a neighbour because bothsidesism is not a good journalistic approach. Sometimes actions are not explained by anything other than megalomania.

According to RNZ, talking about colour-revolutions is pro-Russian.

Russia uses this term as a way of saying and protestors demanding democracy are part of a US operation to destabilise a country. I am not sure what RNZ actions you are referring to but I suspect they are right. I would like to know more, if you have a link?

The CIA and USAID are always up to no good in former soviet states.

At this point I feel like this is an undisputed fact of the world. Russia likes to play things as if being against the Russian invasion of Ukraine means you're pro-US, but it's possible to denounce all horrible actions by the superpowers.
