2016 Daily Blog Media & News Awards
In a year where the Mainstream Corporate Media screamed about ‘fake news’ while drowning us in clickbait bullshit, we salute, cajole and crap on those we loved, respected and hated in the 2016 NZ media sphere.

Hey everyone, Israel Groupie, Fran O’Sullivan says we aren’t at war with Apartheid Israel so it’s all ok?
When these sanctimonious pricks in the corporate mainstream media dare complain about ‘fake news’ let’s remember how much their shit reporting actually contributes to that fake news.

Israel threatens war and NZ mainstream corporate media go silent – what real fake news looks like
I appreciate the graduate student C team is wheeled into staff the news room over the Christmas period, hence their breathless updates on the bloody holiday road toll, but surely someone in charge has to appreciate the magnitude and enormity of Israel’s language and threats toward us?

Now NZ has shown courage against Israel at the UN, will NZ Herald give Malcolm Evans his job back?
We can’t trust the gutless, toothless and self interested NZ Press Council for ethics in Journalism, but seeing as we as a National have surprisingly stood against Israeli aggression at the UN, don’t we owe it to the activists who have fought against Apartheid Israel and who have suffered for that stance the chance to have injustices to them wiped clean?

Imagine what we could do if the NZ corporate media focused on suicide the way they do the bloody holiday road toll
This is lazy journalism, it’s not news. Imagine what we could do in this country of the media focused on the suicide rate the way they do the bloody holiday road toll.

Dear Aaron Smith – PLEASE fly to New York and have sex in a UN toilet
How is a slavish worship of consumerism on Boxing Day and the continued tedious update of our holiday road toll anywhere near as important as NZs leadership on criticising Israel?

TDB NZ Blogger Alignment Awards 2016
2016, what a year. In a year where ‘fake news’ and online propaganda infected itself upon social media, news consumers had no idea what was actually real and what wasn’t.

The things that surprised the NZ mainstream media in 2016 said more about them than the issues
Post Dirty Politics, the mainstream corporate NZ media have moved from secretly colluding with a far right hate speech merchant like Cameron Slater for scoops to simply tripping over their own class blindspots for news headlines.

TDB Christmas Contributions drive – please donate if you believe we need a counter media and an update on funding
We also need to update you all over the many kind comments we have received in the wake of the NZ on Air funding decision to not fund Waatea 5th Estate next year. The incredible generosity of so many working NZers who saw Waatea 5th Estate as mandatory current affairs viewing overwhelmed us all. We have decided to sit down with some people over the Summer and look to do a crowd funding proposal to produce Waatea 5th Estate for the election and build up The Daily Blog’s bloggers so that their work can get the resourcing it deserves.

NZ on Air turns down funding for Waatea 5th Estate – back to the same bullshit current affairs we always get
It is depressing to think that we will see a 2017 election with the same current affairs gatekeepers doing the same idiocy dressed up as public debate.
