I refer to the MSM news as non media. I don't switch it on to stay informed. The state has a crucial role to play. Unfortunately for the public, over the past 40 years it has failed to deliver .... still waiting
And the loser is ... Same old .. The PUBLIC of NZ ... and those folk waiting for 10 bridges ...
' National Launches Contraception Campaign' Oh, thought it was a Caption Comp! My bad.
So there are major differences about MM. Does our MSM reflect this difference? M was an opportunist, who made the most of it. Did he leave NZ better off?
Lost Faith in the beeb years ago and losing it in RNZ National. RNZ, for copywrite reasons are not permitted to retain Morning Report BBC content for later replay and scrutiny. I've switched off.
National would have done this stuff anyway! Even National couldn't deny reality forever.
The article I read used the word contaminant. The authorities are underplaying the magnitude of the potential health and safety implications. Me - "We have to pollute the water to put out the fire"? Really...
So the Dunedin fire fighters contaminate 80% of the water catchment area for Dunedin? This cannot be true ....
Firstly, is our current financial/economic system working for the benefit of all of our society, or for the UK, US, France etc? Governments keep telling us things are Ok, but will improve if we keep voting them in. It's clearly not working to create a ...
Surprise surprise ... hardly news imo. Politics has become a reality show, minus the reality lol.
Lol, " Moments of excellence. " Too few for me. Switching off RNZ.
Sorry to say but RNZ is getting worse, with a few exceptions i.e Mediawatch. Morning Report and Checkpoint are not worth listening to any more imo. Its turned into mind numbing slush. It's sad, as I have witnessed this over 50 years and have lost faith in ...
Thanks for posting Bill. It's good to be reminded of the poisoning case and the outcome, or no outcome. The poor quality MSM is a major concern.
Not surprising, especially from Nash. He could easily be accommodated on the opposition benches as a righty.
I would nominate Sir Peter Gluckman for admitting in his interview with Kim Hill on Saturday Morning RNZ, where, as part time 'science' advisor to Sir John Key, basically confesses to being silenced (circumspect lol) about serious science topics, when he ...
Where's Simon? Please Simon can you prosecute yourself?
Liberal Realist. Well said. Where is the but, but, but... ?
This tragedy is the latest of a lengthy history of US government's amoral behaviour. The policeman of the free World? A Tui for sure.
" Where have our rights gone? " Very good question. Without our personal privacy safeguarded, they have gone away... .
I hear you Bill. Thank you. This is better than reality tv lol. Goss. What do you tell your children, assuming you have any, about climate change, and what advice do you offer them.
I hear you Bill. Thank you. This is better than reality tv lol.
I think this 'po em' has been 'appropriated'from someone else. Where did you get it from?
The rebuilding of the public trust in our media is paramount. Starting with RNZ and TVNZ. The Minister has a massive task on her hands. RNZ is failing with trivia, sensationalism, and gratuitous court drama. I fear it's becoming like TVNZ.
Simon is trying hard to raise his profile and keep Judith at bay for the time being. Holding his leadership to account, you could say.
Sigh, Man with plastic horses!
"I am just going outside and may be some time"
I'm all for fairness. Just give the farmers a loan like a Student Loan. Pay back when they make some profit. That would please the taxpayers and Nat supporters.
Why do I feel so underwhelmed by this? Sounds like algorithms are the way decisions will be made. Does this apply to medical procedures and end of life treatment? In Algos we trust?
And Judith Collins, et al, has a hot line to the mainstream media presstitutes, who revel in it, and pat themselves on the back. How about some real journalism for a change.
Good work Bill, I get as far as 'Russian double agent' and my BS detector goes off, and I don't believe anything mainstream. Even so called 'proof' is hard to believe. Trust is becoming a problem.
Thanks Jackel, There's the Problem and the answer, front and centre, just look in the mirror!
