The response by TVNZ to Fuck Boy Island proves why they must be merged with RNZ!
Their answer has been to edit out one of the contestants who turned out to be an actual Fuck Boy…
Fuckboy Island contestant edited out after suffocation charge revealed
A contestant on controversial reality TV series Fboy Island is being edited out of the show after it was revealed he was charged last year with suffocating a drunk and vulnerable teenager in his home.
…note that their response isn’t, ‘we should never have commissioned a show called Fuck Boy Island because we are the public broadcaster’, oh no, they are still going ahead with Fuck Boy Island, they’ll just edit out the one accused of strangling a drunk woman.
TVNZ are a ratings chasing addict who have utterly shat upon their Public Broadcaster responsibilities here, THIS is why we need a RNZ/TVNZ merger!
The extraordinarily gross Fuck Boy Island commissioned by TVNZ shows why the RNZ/TVNZ merger must happen, because TVNZ thinks Fuck Boy Island is public broadcasting!
RNZ would never have allowed Fuck Boy Island to occur.
Can you imagine Kim Hill judging Fuck Boy Island?
How about Ethical Slut Island?
This isn’t Public Broadcasting that uplifts or builds the people or audiences involved, it demeans. I’m no prude, if a private company wanted Fuck Boy Island, knock yourself out, go for it, but on the Public Broadcaster?
We saw on the lawns of Parliament what confused and frightened citizens led by Social media disinformation hate algorithms can cause, we need a powerful Public Broadcasting asset to combat that madness or our Democracy will be lost.
We need this public broadcasting merger and Fuck Boy Island proves why.

“Can you imagine Kim Hill judging Fuck Boy Island?”
Why not? I would actually consider watching just to see her response to the degenerate circus show, they would become massive internet memes.
LOLOLOL
Can you imagine it!
Hill is pretty degenerate herself
I don’t usually watch TV trash shows. Is there really a programme called this? Kim hill would probably decline to be involved (impolitely and forcefully).
It’s a reason to defund public media full stop.
Unfortunately for the government, the public broadcasting fund and its strings attached have shown us all what lies in wait for an actual publicly funded multimedia propaganda outlet.
An abomination on all levels, no thanks.
Sell the assets of TVNZ and RNZ and drop the staff off on Fuck Boy Island.
End of.
matron so what EXACTLY would you replace it with the ‘objectivity’ of fox and murdoch….is that what your little rightard snowflake heart yearns for.
Nz media isn’t shit because of funding it’s shit because it employs incompetents and lightweights
Yes, they want the other Fuck Boy only, Mike Hosking with his “neutral” opinions.
Just for you there’s always RT….oh wait, maybe not!
LOL
We here, all know what you are up to Andrew.
Attacking Kim Hill personally because her name is out there as a possible moderator in debates between Jacinda Ardern and Chris Luxon in 2023.
Mike Hosking or Kim Hill. No brainer for only one end of either spectrum.
However, if Luxon continues to fluff about and be unable to articulate the “tax cuts for the rich” policy, who know who will be National Leader in 2023.
Anyone from ACT could take over and do better job as National leader than Luxon and there have been many cross-pollinations in the past between National and ACT since 1988.
There were recent discussions about David Seymour leading the National Party and beyond! David Seymour put out his 100 – day Coalition Plan for National and ACT:
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2022/07/david-seymour-s-plan-for-first-100-days-in-national-act-coalition.html
ACT and NATIONAL after 1988
From 1988 on, there has been a deliberate and planned symbiotic, parasitic relationship between National and ACT. Neoliberalism goes hand in hand with National and ACT. Their policies are so alike.
Don Brash National and ACT
1988 2002 Reserve Bank Governor
2002–2005 47th List 5 National
2005–2007 48th List 1 National
April 2011, still then, a National Party member ACT Party Leader
Roger Douglas National and ACT
2008–2011 49th List MP for ACT
John Banks National and ACT
1990–1993 43rd Whangarei National
1993–1996 44th Whangarei National
1996–1999 45th Whangarei National
2011–2014 50th Epsom ACT
Richard Prebble National and ACT
Leader ACT from 1996 to 2004….
1996–1999 ACT
1999–2002 ACT
2002–2005 ACT
So, who will be Luxon’s ACT successor if he can’t articulate a rich-fart-fair tax policy, that won’t tank the NZ/AO economy, like that other Tory, Liz Truss did?
Watch this space for advice from right-wing experts like Andrew, and XRAY and Im right, and ….blah-blah-Tory trolls.
Play this with the subtitles on … and waiting for the update with Tory Truss: watch:

We also need a kiwi version of this anti-Tory classic.
probably as accurate as fox gbnews and aussie sky.
David Attenborough should narrate Fuck ‘boy’ Island. Now that would be a hoot.
Reactionary Brat Were it to be David Attenborough, then it should be ‘Animal Husbandry ‘ featuring Simon and his directors, then dispatch the lot back to the wopwops they came from; see if they perform better than the rams and ewes of freezing Southland.
The merger is about trying to curtail Simon Power (permanently elected by Sir John Key)’s power. I saw Simon Power today on Midday News railing against ministerial oversight of programming in the media, rather than the Tory-born-to-rule-and-appoint-power Power.
John Campbell was sacked from Breakfast and Kamal Santamaria was ‘shoulder-tapped’ to take his place! n How did that work out Simon?
We already have a biased media in New Zealand, similar to the Tory Murdoch-style media in UK. Ever since Stephen Joyce bailed out TV3 Mediaworks, to be a mouthpiece for National and ACT and Destiny. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/your-43m-lifeline-to-tv3-owner/UTEBZVOYMBYVYAQN6QODUUB5JI/
Why do you think that the likes of Hosking and Henry and Duncan Garner can thrive in the supposably “neutral” journalistic medium of Television and Radio.
For years we have had fboy-wit Nats ringing up Radio talkback stations pretending to be lefties, or Maoris to spout their racist right-wing gobshite – John (Hone) Carter, Roger Bridge race-baiting Auckland Central with https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/423557/roger-bridge-resigns-as-national-party-board-member.
And what about the ‘New [anti]-Social Media’ young National Party NZ trolls Eggstien and DonnaDumbAss trolling MP’s and women: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/128230199/i-am-eggstein-young-nat-jessee-mackenzie-admits-trolling-female-politicians-resigns-from-national-party
Merger, but, at the very least, a balanced, non-partisan publicly-funded media, including a publicly funded ‘TheDailyBlog.co.nz’ site, which unites New Zealand’s leading left/centre-left commentators and progressive opinion shapers to provide the other side of the story on today’s news, media and political agendas.
I see Simon Power, John Key’s appointee to TVNZ is bleating and whingeing on about having ministerial oversight of the Crown merger.
National and ACT want publicly funded media, with the ability to be as biased as Fox News.
Those dumbos at TVNZ have proven that their sleaze squeeze exercise doesn’t even even work as advertised if at least one predator made it through. That’s what happens when bumper sticker boys run the show. Withdraw their funding, they’re hopeless, and it’s our money they’re wasting.
HHotV
Yes, and then bigger yes – exponentially. It’s a big word but decision makers in govt in its ersatz form use it often when they are thinking and planning for money, profits, counting viewing numbers by square-eyed people, those who say doh a lot, or, those who have a residual sense of humour.
( Hint, people who might think Murray Ball’s cartoon Stanley a hoot.)

Too much warbling and too much grey obscurity for us simple Kiwi tv watchers.
Seems like the the numbers of the ” dumb lives matter ” keep going up and up.
Mosa I saw part of the trailer for FBoys and it’s enough to make some of us vamoose into the bush for a couple of weeks and stay there. It’s mind-boggling that TVNZ is so puerile, and don’t even know it.
I must ask as to WHAT THE FRIGGIN HELL has the media outlets demeaned themselves to????!!!!
I mean of late and for some reason I cannot fathom out any logic let alone intelligent thought put into it but TV and even other media outlets are now scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to programs on the telly.
It is as if TVNZ, TV3, the tabloid NZ herald, and the radio stations have become stupidly ‘obsessed’ with what can only be termed as Cheap and Rubbishy ‘reality shows’ that do not require too much intellectual thinking.
If it isn’t Dancing with the Stars it’s Celebrity Treasure Island. And if it’s not that trashy show then it’s some other ‘game show’. And now to prove how much even TVNZ has demeaned itself to perhaps to keep up with its beloved bosses in the NZ National Party it has yet another stupid show called F Boy Island.
Goodness one does wonder as to what TVNZ will come up with next to Dumb Down the Senses of the viewing public.
There was once a time I thought there was intelligent programs on the telly but what there is now may as well be like getting David Seymour to wave his rear end at people.
justme, and that’s exactly why I end up downloading belgian detective shows or german sci-fi with subtitles…I can’t watch TVNZ I can feel my frontal lobes shrinking…
You right wingers here are just tv snobs, the same way you are religious snobs and political white snobs.
God gave you free will. God gave you the ability to turn off your tv.
Stop denigrating others for their beliefs and choices.
There’s no way my namesake is going to form any alliance with National or ACT.
sorry brian I choose to avoid brain damage if that makes me a ‘snob’ then so be it….I don’t hammer nails into my eye sockets either ‘oh get the posh boy’
