Top 10 NZ TV news shows
Q+A and The Nation return for 2017 this month, so the line up of political news shows on TV amounts to a dozen shows in Election Year.
How depressing.
So here’s the 12 NZ mainstream media news shows ranked from worst to best
-
A week of The Project, why is the AM Show so bad and should we sell off TVNZ?
Right now we have Breakfast TVNZ, The AM Show, The Project and Seven Sharp all of which manage to make us less compassionate, more ignorant and a lot dumber.
Unfortunately a stupid electorate is exactly what many Politicians want.

TV REVIEW: The AM Show – only ‘people’ talking up Jacinda’s ‘leadership aspirations’ are the bloody media
Watching that awful ‘AM Show’ on TV3 this morning.

Nothing highlights the racist blindspot & vacant ignorance of NZ mainstream media quite like the Mike Bush drink driving story
Look, I’m all for putting the boot into the cops about their incredible expansion of surveillance, bugger all oversight to their powers and don’t start me on the poorly resourced Independent Police Conduct Authority, but shanking Mike Bush in the media as a hypocrite for leading an organisation that would now stop someone becoming a Police Officer for drink driving is the most petty of examinations.

TV REVIEW: If Seven Sharp is the McDonalds of Currents Affairs, The Project is Hell Pizza- but it’s still junk food
The 41 000 homeless, the 220 000 kids in poverty, those who can’t get a job, those locked out of home ownership, the working poor, beneficiaries, the vulnerable and the abused found no champion in the Fourth Estate here. The Project won’t hold anyone to account in an election year for them.

GUEST BLOG: Paul (the bloke The Standard banned for 3 years) – Fake news
Do the mainstream media think we’ve forgotten the fake news about the Kuwaiti girl Nayirah who claimed to have seen Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait? You know, when they repeated the lies of Bush Senior get the US population to accept the invasion of Iraq.

The People’s Commission into Public Broadcasting? Only if you define ‘the People’ as self interested lobby groups
If this was a serious attempt to look at what has gone wrong in NZ Broadcasting and wasn’t just some lobby group dressed up as the ‘concerns of the People’ trying to fund their own blogs you would have Dr Wayne Hope, Brian Edwards, Mihingarangi Forbes, Dr Peter Thompson, Dr David Robbie, Dr Gavin Ellis and the brilliant Dr Merja Myllylahti involved.
