In reply to Always Anti Racist. Human spirit is still alive to recapture a softer fairer honest Government and we must pursue it to the end else evil reigns.

Remember how nobody save the Left gives a shit? We’re fucked, let’s at least wallow in it.

Works every time, so many people parroting the line about Corbyn..”he’s a good decent man, but he’s not a leader” with a patronising whiff, but when I ask what makes them say that…….nothing, just nothing comes back, because it’s utter bollocks.
Same with that old line about Key being “charismatic” ……what is it that makes him charismatic?, I ask, no answer, just blank looks, empty vacuous phrases, people sound like robots when they repeat these lines now

There was also the bad-mouthing of Cunliffe when he took a few days off to spend with his family just prior to the 2008 campaign.

This is all of course correct.
It is the reason why every body who reads this article and is outraged, must regularly contact their MSM source when they see or hear falsehoods/bias or contradictions, and let them know people are unhappy with their reporting (always try to get as far up the chain as possible to make your complaint).
At the very least we have to over time, apply enough pressure on the producers of these news shows, to think twice before doing and showing what they now regularly do at present, without thinking at all.
I contact RNZ regularly and remind them of their important obligations to the public, they probably by now think I am some sort of loony tunes, but so be it.
I really don’t care what they think about me, because I and I am sure most readers of this blog, care only about having a fully informed public….then maybe just maybe progressive change could become reality.

In reply to OnceWasTim. Yes, but those in the media have always done that. Soft pushover for Key, nats and their associates , repetitively rude, obnoxious, aggressive and insulting to the opposition, particularly when it comes to Labour.

‘Owned media’ like everywhere else in the world.
People are realising it… Let’s hope for change in our broadcasting along with our government.

….. and did anyone else notice the difference in interviewing styles on “The Nation” this morning – i.e. between Lisa Owen’s interview with that gruesome trio, and her later interview with Andrew Little.

Count the interruptions.
One was a very sukky motor. the other like she was auditioning for Hardtalk.

She should at least choose a style and be consistent, regardless.
