Radio NZ blacklist Chris Trotter so they can set up Don Brash – why no actual freedom of speech debate?
Are Radio NZ so frightened of an actual debate it has to be framed by Don Brash?

What Farrar misses with his claim the NZ Herald is a socialist rag
Farrar needs to claim the media are left wing all of a sudden to delegitimise wider debate and new voices joining that debate.

Questions the media need to ask the Police about the death of Alo Ngata in custody
Let me be clear.
I am not criticising the Police response to the tasering of Alo Ngata in Beresford street.
There are enough independent witnesses from neighbours who all universally agree Police used the required force to stop him.

Duncan Garner’s latest attack on Phil Twyford is actually crazy
I shake my head so many times these days over what passes as informed political debate.

With John Campbell leaving Radio NZ, can we now stop pretending RNZ are left wing?
With John gone, we can stop pretending RNZ are some sort of bastion of Left wing thought, they are an elite bubble that promotes the interests of the elites while claiming to be a public service – like so much that pretends to be a public service in this country.

Campbell’s TVNZ coup, the mutilation of RNZ and why Mediaworks are the biggest loser
Strategically this is a vicious knifing of RNZ by TVNZ. With Clare Curran on the sidelines begging to give away public money, Checkpoint with Campbell was the most obvious target, but TVNZ have taken that target and left RNZ with a mammoth hole to fill.
The biggest loser here however is Mediaworks and the Project.

Duncan Garner throws tantrum and dumps the only reason you would watch The AM Show for 6 weeks
Let’s get real here, Winston roasts Duncan every time he is on air, and someone with the kind of thin skin Duncs has would have been sweating it out having Winston on him for 6 weeks. Could a breakfast show with the very low ratings of The AM Show seriously toss aside one of the only reasons to watch the show for 6 weeks?
