jonolists?- Freudian slip ;-)
I am terribly sorry. I reverted to the constraints of twitter,
Blogging community?
Smart decision going with The Standard. - puts campaign for legal protection in different light - argument more complex than some depicted. Good example why Blogland needs a regulatory body
Have i gor this right? Fourteen of Labour's 34 Mps are women. But people think that men should be shut out of some electorates to it can get past 50 per cent. ]
No not really In fact the Murdoch sale to other financial interests means that the New zealand ownership has increased. Of course it all becomes murky once debt is involved, May well change if an overseas company decides to take a cornerstone stake. At ...
The original story was in the cruel dark pages of the allegedly tory apologist NZ herald, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=10850983
Appointing mates of course - but did Labour do it with currently active lobbyists?
I did not mean legally accountable I meant accountable to your readers and to the people your readers/contributor criticise or attack. Your correspondents make personal attacks but personally - in the real world - don't have to front up. It allows them to ...
Its so you are accountable for your views
Iprent says. Silly argument. I’ve posted both under my own ‘name’ (lprent is my long time login for Lynn Prentice) and under other handles for decades. There is very little difference between what I say on the net in any guise and what I say in person and ...
Because standing by what you believe in has more credibility.
RL is quite right about the pseudonym - but the reaction is over the top and smacks of student politics hissy fits. Are you saying that at The Standard only want to talk among yourselves and you'll come down hard on dissenting views. The unwillingness of ...
Felix. Does The Standard really not know who are the editorial writers for the main daily newspapers? Give the papers a call. I'm loathe to name them now in case it is posted as some sort of major victory for the working class. As I said before in the ...
"Indeed it is, and the world is full of better things to do I agree. But it’s also the case that you won’t address them because you can’t." Well no rOb - whoever you are. This is an honest chat about the media - not a mooting competition up at Vic. If I ...
.... I don't always agree with John Key, but sometimes I do...
I'm not racing to the aid of the paper - the Herald can handle itself. But I get wary of throwaway lines about MSM and the implication we are all lazy idiots who don't have a mind of our own. Commercial media is commercial media. An opnion matters more if ...
I take your point The Standard is an opinonated blog - and you can't be criticised for being biased. Your correspondents don't print real names - but it seems like trade union/EPMU/ Labour left mix - now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of ...
Don't disagree on media coverage. But I'm a NZ Herald journalist - and I think the paper has done a good job.
An unnamed source is one thing - but in an un-bylined story as well? Who was involved int this story?
The union is in a difficult place with Shawn Tan. Clearly there are questions about his employment and the radical turnaround in his politics. But Andrew Little's comment on Natrad that politics would be a factor in his employment are worrying. This issue ...
I don't get angry that the largest and most profitable newspaper in the country is bleeding experienced staff (and you know exactly who I'm talking about), with the inevitable effects on the depth, range and quality of reportage. It makes me sad. Sorry - ...
Haemophiliacs - razor blades - why so angry Craig?
