KIRK HARGREAVES Broadcaster Chris Lynch has apologised for an anti-islamic column he wrote two years ago, which NZME has since removed. Earlier this week Media company NZME removed some of its online content in the wake of the Christchurch shootings because it was "upsetting people." Lynch's column titled "Does Islam have any place in NZ public swimming pools?" The removal of Lynch's column was spotted by social media user Julie Fairey, who said the "stirring" led to threats being made against the staff of the leisure centre.
