Comrades, it’s that time of the month when we put out our begging bowl and ask you our dear readers to contribute cash if you believe the NZ media landscape desperately needs a counter voice. This project of a blog takes up an immense amount of time and it costs us to bring it to you.
We are allowing the cult of Rugby to over shadow civic issues far larger than an Ozzie Coach having a rant!
Focusing on the supposed morality in all of this eclipses what I really think the Wright/Tostee story confronts us with.
There are times when TVNZ and its true public broadcasting purpose shines so brightly you are reminded, ‘we should probably keep that as a public asset’.
…of course this has been released while it’s a Friday before a long weekend so absolutely no one is going to be even remotely aware that NZ SAS are helping guide in air strikes. So have we been involved in any of the air strikes that have killed civilians?
You would think that our out of control prison nation expanding by another 1800 bed private prison or our obscene suicide rates would lead any news site in NZ.
This is our mainstream media at its worst, no wonder the average Kiwi has no bloody idea what is actually going on in their country.
NZers are more focused on punishing people rather than convicting the guilty. We are a small minded and bitter volk who are easily led by a mainstream media who use crime porn to boost ratings and the sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind worship Police authority like a masochist worships a sadist.
Last week an All Black having a sex romp in a toilet eclipsed one of our MPs being kidnapped in international waters by an Apartheid Israel and it eclipsed the fact that SERCO had lied and covered up reports of violence in their private prison complex.
