The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

Charming audience Katy's got there.
.
[9] Throughout the programme, Hawkesby read out texts from members of the audience in response to the Equity Adjustor Score story, noting the text machine had been ‘lit up’ by the news, and that she would try to get through as many texts as she could. Some of the texts read out over the course of the broadcast included:

Unlikely to stop "Hogsbreath" doing it again some time.
This is the biggest conflict yet within the coalition. This can't be shrugged off as "Winston being Winston". This is the closest of the 3 relationships, ideologically and personally.
Translation: Luxon knows it was leaked from Cabinet, and the prime suspects (probably Tama Potaka or another Nat who doesn't like the path Seymour is taking the government down). Never launch an inquiry if you already know the answer and don't want to hear it.

Bog standard misleading reporting from MSM on women's sports and trans issues.
One tweet from RNZ, about an audio piece, says,
https://twitter.com/CheckpointRNZ/status/1777585592349478992
But another piece from RNZ (written) says that it's *women's* netball, not netball generally, and it's not all transgender people, just the male ones. The female ones can still play women's netball if they're not using testosterone.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/513846/world-netball-rules-out-trans-women-from-international-competition
Keep an eye out and see how many MSM say transgender when they actually mean trans women.
It goes onto say that those born women and who now identify as transgender males/gender male cannot compete if they use/have used testosterone.
Which comes under fair competition rules.
"have used testosterone."
Interesting. Are other athletes banned if they "have used" other banned drugs, in the past? Is there an expiry date on other performance enhancing drugs?
World Netball are part of WADA. Athletes as a rule get (period of time) bans for use of proscribed drugs.
The mention of past use of male hormones here would be about advantage derived from such medical support for gender identity making for a longer term competitive advantage.
"Generally, trust in the media has been declining all over the world. But in New Zealand that decline is much steeper than elsewhere. According to the authors of the report, the overall trust levels have dropped by 38 per cent in the five years the AUT study has been carried out."
Much steeper decline?
Covidiots, that's why.

and maybe sometimes the MSM just misleads people and some of the people can see that.

Know of a better source of news?
One that doesn't sometimes mislead people?
that misses the point. If RNZ consistently mislead on reporting women's rights and gender identity issues (which they do), people notice that. Even if they still trust RNZ on other issues, there is a loss of trust.
Then when they look at how other MSM are covering the same issue and see the same misleading framing, it makes sense that more trust is lost. I looked at netball as a key word on twitter this evening, and nearly all MSM were doing the same thing as RNZ. It's basically lying to the public.
It's not the only thing going on with loss of trust. I think this is a big factor as as well, sort thread from experienced NZ journalist Kirsty Johnston,
https://twitter.com/kirsty_johnston/status/1775681077769891907
When left and right people go on about the MSM being biased right or left, they're mostly wrong, and they ignore what Johnston is pointing to: profit is the main driver of MSM bias.
Social Media is a big factor as well. FB's use of sophisticated tech to manipulate people emotionally and cognitively is well know. They deliver the news that they want people to see. People down the covid rabbit hole will be fed material that affirms their beliefs. That's huge.
Maybe people are finally rejecting the supercilious ilk of Hoskings/Hawkesby et al…..
We wish.
Not Necessarily.
Covid, when we were getting facts from real experts first hand every day, exposed how much the media were interposing their own ill informed and sparsely educated opinions during normal times.
Especially when discussing a leftish Government.
Trust in the media went when the media decided their job was not to report the news, but to tell us what to think. Usually on behalf of wealthy media owners.
