The problem with TVNZ;s drift into partisan activism is not that these views are being covered. It is that state Tv presents them as truth and refuses to cover perspectives that don't align with John Camp[bell, Te Aniwa and Maiki Sherman. Something g has gone terribly wrong
Wood has been sacked for breaches of conflict of interest, to be replaced as associate finance minister by Kiri Allan - who chided RNZ for not promoting her fiancee, and breached conflict rules over a donation from Meng Foon, who was sacked for not declaring a conflict
Given the low trust for the media - the job lossses and the fact it is putting out the begging bowl for taxpayer hel[p - I cannot think of a worse time for TVNZ to run such a biased piece partisan political editor. Maiki Sherman damages the rest of media
Here a delicious irony. Hurricanes Poua gets taxpayer funding from Sport NZ whose CEO Raelene Castle led the sacking of Israel Folau from The Wallabies Folau made peronsl comment about gays that made sponsors angry. I'm betting Raelene will change sides
Hilarious. The former communications manager at Waipareira Trust is funded at the Herald under the PIJF. The Herald promotes Jackson's attack on Peters deemed "public interest journalism" It is almost as if Peters has hit the nail on the head.
It s funny peculiar/ ironic that a leftish Labour appointed board at TVNZ - including former TVNZ political editor Linda Clark - has overseen the collapse of journalism at state TV.
If TVNZ has monopoly on Tv new there should be a radical reshape of it's offering - including reviving straight objective news and partition of activist journalists, Maiki Sherman and John Campbell.
So Labour had a mad woman as the minister of Justice? And that is meant to be mitigation?.Former Labour Minister Kiri Allan reveals PTSD and ADHD diagnoses, says she's been 'deeply unhappy' for long time
The new chair of the public broadcaster has put staff on notice that they are not to take part in activism, and to reconsider their roles if they cannot be objective. What's your view:
We have become used to the deep seated bias of the 1news press Gallery, but last nights report on the coalition poll dip suggests systemic failure at TVNZ and not just an errant Gallery. Nobody is maintaining journalism standards and trust will keep collapsing.
Lead story on Stuff and herald websites is that a presenter on a breakfast Tv show - with a tiny audience - is leaving at the end of the year. with news values like that, its's no wonder media are going broke.
The grimmest part of Te Pati Maori abuse and threatening violence is that Luxon and media are shrugging their shoulders and ignoring the growing ncreasing edge to NZ. Seymour and Peters are doing their job - but Luxon and media are sleepwalking into a deeply polarised country,
John Armstrong - NZ Herald former political editor and trusted political columnist has died. A big loss to journalism. And he was a lovely man as well

Wrote on broadcasting for 12 years. I have just been blocked m]by the minister of broadcasting, Willie Jackson. Understandable. I think he is dangerous in the post and have said as much.

The mad people will always be with us, The fact that youm dismiss people as "old pale stales" suggests you are also racist and part of the problem
Thank God we have Thomas Cranmer and The Platform. Without them many issues and viewpoints would be ignored by main stream media. Cranmer ( a psuedonym) is a non-journa;ist, and arguably our best journalist.
Oh fuck off RNZ . Why are we paying you to lecture us about about privilege? "Pakeha asked to be aware of ‘privilege’ as demand for te reo grows, via

in any other country ties between the Tamihere family the Waipareira Trust. The Labour Maori caucus and the Te Pati Maori would be debated publicly by media.
In 2016/17, the chief executive of the National Urban Māori Authority was Lance Norman, the current secretary and treasurer of Te Pāti Māori. Like his mentor, John Tamihere, Norman currently holds roles at the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency (WOCA), the Waipareira Trust and Te
Re the TPM, Waipareira Trust allegations story. In theory this is the type of public story that should be a funded by the Public Interest Journalism Fund. The reality is the PIJF would have refused to fund it because it did obligations to support the Treaty Of Waitangi.
Who was the MediaWorks staff who complained to management about Leah Panapa's views on gender?> Today FM has no credibility, it has destroyed Panapa. I doubt it can survive.
The astonishing thing about media commentary one then state of journalism and media is that nobody even mentions Maori TV which spends $35 million year and has hardly any viewers
One effect of the Albert Partk clusterfug is the fact that we cannot even rely on NZmedia to cover the growing international disdain for New Zealand and have too rely on accessing overseas media. It is like the 1890s A
NZME has banned me from commenting on the Posey Parker debacle. I have never been abusive like some,. Why would you pay a media company to be censored?Cancelled my subscription and will get the occasional good column elsewhere.
Given the high horse taken NZME and Radio New Zealand over Uffindell - can we expect either to detail the seamy past of their political commentator, Shane T e Pou, nee Shane Phillips. It seems highly unlikely.
Queer activist Shaneel Lal says despite fearing for their life, they will join Saturday’s protest the anti-trans activist also known as ‘Posie Parker’.

A shitfight is looming between media and the new government. Media companies are unwilling to facilitate Act's policy for a referendum on the terms of Treaty. I wonder if msm has the public support to obstruct democracy - or whether it is extending a crash and burn strategy.

Stats is a shambles. But this is the first time it has been imp[licated in alleged corruption. Add the Charities Commission and the Electoral Commission. It looks bleak.
Labour Government policy was to support not question Maori institutions. The Electoral Commission thought this was more important than ensuring the 2023 election was overseen to ensure it was clean

Surprise, surprise the Human Rights Commission has made a 16 page submission recommending that the Government abandon the Fast Track Approvals Bill because … human rights.
Stuff is going into the election in deep disarray. I understand that the company (wholly owned by Sinead Boucher with unknown debt holder ) has recently called in the editorial consultants from Australia to sort out the slide in advertising revenue.
Not a peep out of
@1news
about scandal exposed by St5uff over dodginess at Manuykau Marae and the new TPM MP. Maybe Maiki and Te Aniwa will follow through tomorrow. Then again - its bad news Maori politics - maybe not.
" Breakfast" has emerged unscathed so far in TVNZ cuts unveiled, It is woke , poor journalism and fat with presenters. Breakfast delivers TVNZ a lot of advertorial content and income.
Whoknew and or ignored the TPM scandal

I frequently see references on X and Facebook to " right wing" New Zealand media. Does anybody know who they are, b?'ll give you The platform I guess - but its hard to see it anywhere else.
It ismincidental. But the left leaning board of TVNZ has agreed to kill the straight news operations of Sunday and Fair Go - while leaving untouched 2 opertions that have deep-seated bias toward the woke and Labour: Seven Sharp and Breakfast.
Ryan Bridge getting his own interview programme at 7pm - replacing The Project - is a poke in the eye for Jenna Lynch Amelia Wade and the Press Gallery whose tabloid tendencies have degenerated in 2023. TVNZ should move Maiki Sherman to Marae.
Is Jacinda Ardern’s role as Special Envoy to the Christchurch Call about to be terminated?
Official Information Act requests filed by The Spinoff indicate that a Cabinet Paper will soon be released outlining the Government’s decision.
Have media decided not delve into the cirvumstances go Tory Whanau'd latest fall from grace? I doubt they would the same for a politician who is not a "wahine toa" This could be another nail in the coffin for MSM.
Huge problems with Auckland train services being shut down ad excalating costs, and disarray at AT. But it is proud as much that they will be giving five stations new te reo names .It sums up New Zealand in 2023 perfectly, imo
