MEDIA WATCH: Action Station playing into Government’s hands over People’s Mental Health Report

Radio NZ ratings and what does it need to do to satisfy National Party philosophy of success?
This is the political Party who champions individual success and claims that the market will righteously reward those who succeed, yet they won’t apply the basic principles of their own political philosophy to a State owned Radio station who is taking on the private players and beating them.

Corporate Mainstream NZ Media suddenly realise NZers are being lied to but don’t see their own role in that
The corporate mainstream media can’t understand why educated NZers hate them or why they walked away years ago to the internet for better sources of information to hold the powerful to account.

TV REVIEW: The Nation, Q+A and Marae
I haven’t watched the Nation much of late. It’s just the same talking heads all agreeing with each other. I tuned in this week out of mistake and Jesus it’s a hot mess. Winston Peters is on with Lisa Owen and his disdain for the mainstream media is just glorious to watch. I felt like I should have called the Police because it was an elderly Maori male beating up on a white privileged woman for 20minutes.
