- Twitter ‘outrage’ or any story where the ‘internet loses its mind’
- Millenial micro aggression policing
- middle class white feminism
- Metiria courageously admitting she had to steal to feed her kid
Things that aren’t terribly important to NZ media:
- NZDF lying about war crimes
- Chinese spy inside the National Party

The function of a News paper is to sell news papers. They’ll always be looking at what happened 24hrs ago. It’s a manuscript for failure. Don’t read it. It only shows you how to fail.
Can someone make a meme out of that?
NZ media ( the former fourth estate ) does not exist.
Neo liberalisim abolished it many years ago without anyone really giving a shit.
We have only corporate communication that is only about the ” trivial “not the truth or the real facts behind every corporate criminal act and the National parties crimes and misdemeanours.
To add a few more things that the MSM get excited about:
The Royals
Married at First Sight.
Dancing with the Stars (with another ACT has-been)
Kim Kardashian’s stomach
Johnny Depp’s f…..n dogs!
And one more thing that they ignore completely:
The truth.
One more – last night didn’t TVNZ’s 6 o’clock news [sic] lead with the America’s Cup free TV coverage announcement?
Who gives a flying f–k?
This led the ‘news’ on TV3 or Newshub tonight at 6 pm:
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2018/05/canterbury-police-dog-gets-life-saving-blood-transfusion-after-being-stabbed.html
Later they had only a short, brief report on the state of affairs of the meth scam issue.
Slavery, I see, is not listed.
The media IS THE biggest issue imo. If you don’t have an independent, quality, non commercial media you end up with Trump.
