I would suggest that wider (non-political) NZ would struggle to know who Nanaia Mahuta is. She has been nearly silent for the last 3-4 years. Seems like a profile building exercise ('look what it did for Shane'), and a late minute 'nothing to lose' bid*, ...
[Facepalm] They aren't pushing this story because of a political agenda They are pushing it, because it's a juicy f'n story that will pin eyeballs to papers and screens - and they are reporting it in such a way. They would be doing exactly the same thing ...
The constitution says that the cutoff date is the resignation date. Since DC resigned effective today, even though he announced earlier, that should be today. However NZ Council agreed on an extra day "for administrative purposes", which does give people ...
It's a weird thing when half of the posters think that Mallard is a useless old has-been, actively trying to sabotage the leader, and the parties chances. While the other half think that Mallard is being targeted by the right wing pet media because of his ...
Erm, who told the press about the email? Was it Trevor? If so, he deserves a caning. But if it wasn't, the blame lies elsewhere.
I think what actually happened was this: There was an enormous train crash. The rescue workers turned up to assess the damage. The media arrive as well. The train driver was giving a stand up chat… “What an amazing train! Did you see how fast it was going ...
I reckon King Kong has absolutely nailed it with this comment.
That could explain why it wasn't used at the event. But what was to stop KimDotCom bringing it up the next day, and every day after that? Why do the one thing with it that guaranteed it would disappear until after the election? When all your energy (and ...
Thanks.
Hmm, quote doesn't work huh? The first para in the above is a quote from Karol. [lprent: html "blockquote" ]
This, I never understood: - KimdotCom hated/really really dislikes John Key - He wanted John Key Taken down before/at the election - He had an email that showed Key Lied - He did not produce the email on the night he said he would (the whole event was ...
True public service media would not produce only the narratives I want agree with. A true public service media would provide in-depth debate and critique from diverse perspectives. But if people don't/won't watch it, it is pointless. And if there was ...
With all due respect, a public service media might produce the type of narrative that you want to hear, but the commercial media has to (via the profit motive) produce narrative that the public want to hear. The posters here might feel good about hearing ...
I agree with some of the above (esp first part of 7). A couple of points: The 'right' are often talking about the left-wing bias of the media. The 'left' are often talking about the right-wing biased corporate media. IMHO, this is because every time they ...
Received a call from Cunliffe also.
Yes Tiger Mountain, "It took a group of pros to show the local journos how to do their jobs last night." What a privilege it was to listen to well-informed, articulate, and courageous people speak out on our behalf and do the job that our own woeful ...
Centerbet has Labour at $5:50 and National at $1.12 Too close to call? http://centrebet.com/#Sports/7145959
Let the sun shine Mr Slater, you love exposing crooked people to the sunlight. It looks like its time for a little of your own medicine and it certainly seems like there is a lot to be seen.
their policy of having rivers at a level safe enough to wade through should be promoted widely as I do not think that average New Zealanders even are aware of this and they would be horrified at these revelations that our water has turned to sh-t.The only ...
Every time we sell a piece of our productive farmland to an overseas owner we as a country become that much poorer. For John Key who lives in Hawaii it does not matter but to New Zealanders who live here and raise our kids here, we don't have the option of...
I think that if you take into account the tax that would of been collected on the work done on the wagons and the tax collected on the downstream jobs that would of been generated and supported by the work being done in Hillside, plus the GST on everything...
As Richard Christie wrote previously, posters and commentors need to be careful here: "[It is alleged that he] attempted to rape her." Suggest one of the admins change the original post. We want this person to stand trial in New Zealand, and we want a fair...
This is a shocker for The Herald. Not sure how a company trip down the Yangtze with special guest star Rick Barker counts as a Labour party donation. Farcical. P.S - 'Up the Yangtze' is a good documentary
However you can pick up a ban for lying about what we do with moderation Wow. That's new. And I never mentioned other sites. My point remains. The post is crap. It has zero substance. Other, regular commenters, have essentially said the same thing. My ...
But if you don’t think that Farrar and National are up to all sorts of shit in the background then you are either naive, stupid or disingenuous. I’m going to bet on disingenuous. Well argued! How would I ever counter anyone who essentially argued... "If ...
Geoff, most of that is also true of the Moon Landing and 911 conspiracies. They contain portions that are speculative and operate in an environment of imperfect information so everyone has to create hypotheses to some extent. It goes without saying that ...
Pretty much. But what I actually can't work out is whether people say what they say about media bias because of a lack of self awareness/objectivity, or whether they say it to make themselves and others feel better about 'their team'. Or - more likely, a ...
If you line up 2000 people who are passionately left and 2000 people who are passionately right, and run a survey about whether they think TVNZ/National Radio/Herald are left leaning or right leaning, I suspect you would get close to 2000 people saying one...
... National?" (I've heard rumors) "Is J Mex actually David Farrar trying...
Tony Astle is not worth worrying about. Just to show my age, I went to Antloines when it first opened over 30 years' ago and again 7 years' ago. The food style is stuck in the seventies, rich and heavy. These days there are some fabulous restaurants in ...
