I caught this this morning on my drive to GH, RNZ’s weekly ‘Media Watch’ programme. To be fair they do try to give an objective view of their own industry and this week was an interesting perspective on the Wgtn protest plus an experienced well-travelled kiwi journalist confirming the astonishing increase in spin associated with the current Labour administration. The example she gave is that when she was in America during Obama’s huge healthcare reforms (Obamacare) it was standard practise for the White House to provide a weekly press conference for the journalists to meet the actual health dept administrators leading the reform itself so thru could answer detailed questions from journalists on how it was all working - so they could report it accurately. In contrast, here in NZ, she said they would never provide the same access to journalists and by way of example she said even a simple question like “How many people are currently in ICU and how many spare beds does NZ have?” would not be answered - and instead they would be told to submit an official information request. Absurd. They also talk about the $55m Govt funding to NZ media and why this is neither a good idea nor required (a report from the Govt itself issued quietly a few days ago confirmed the NZ media does not need Govt funding).

You can write all that on your mobile? You must be..... click... a patient fellow but then you are a parent of youngish, hence the click, you have to be  The podium of spins favourite line is 'listen to the experts' yet when a expert advises them they totally ignore them. I must say if you have ever wondered if our money is being spend as they Pollies suggest go suss Stuff, a recipient of many millions for the Govts propaganda fund. Suss what they put out and then try to tell me is journalism. I see Jacinda bestie thingy Vance is now Head Propaganda Promoter on Stuff. |

Why do you think so many "other" reports start with " I decided to go down to Wellington to to see for myself what is going on"?
I'm on school kid duty, Mum and older ones on their way down now.

I don’t believe she’s smart enough to have dreamt up this game plan herself - so who’s behind her and the plan?

Let’s just hope that however the next 18 months plays out that the last bastion of democracy, a free & fair election, is allowed to happen without improper interference from Govt, their spinners or the media…

Let’s just hope that however the next 18 months plays out that the last bastion of democracy, a free & fair election, is allowed to happen without improper interference from Govt, their spinners or the media… the problem is trying to separate the Covid response fiasco from the "Business as usual" fiasco Labour, led by Ardern have purposely blurred the lines inorder to confuse and scare the population. I have it on strong advice that Simon Bridges has compiled a lot of data showing that a lot of the Covid billions has not been spent on the covid response ( ICU capacity for example) but on " paraphernalia ") He is now just waiting for the best time to expose it. Luxon will need to show that covid has not been the biggest " killer " of people, economy, services, jobs, etc but that Ardern and Robertson have been the biggest perpetrators ok of the economic and health decline. This is a classic examle of Arderns over zealous Covid focus ... www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/shane-reti-no-covid-victory-parade-for-cancer-patients/JPW2JH4E6JZSWALRBVL47SWZKQ/ |

2nd hand rumour mill in top gear as the bimbo's ex moves houses,Really ? Haven't heard anything from the multi talented spin doctors or the media. If true this would be the absolute final word that the $55 m with the carrot of "you'll get some" if you play the game has really worked. Remember Muldoon and the rumours .The media are either puppet lambs or screaming hyenas depending on who or what they're protecting or demonising. Scum ?

Just watching the car charging down Hill Street .
No spin needed there and totally understandable response from the officers that smashed it open and extracted the driver . Couldve been any number of reasons …repressed gamer looking for a bit of glory by skittling the crowd with mums odyssey or a police hater maybe who knows . Sure the car stopped but it could’ve moved again so no brainer there .
Wait stop ! Just saw on instagram that it was Gaye clarkford and Elvis going for a morning coffee apparently they thought Hillary Clinton was on their tail but she was just delivering a suitcase of cash to John Minto

I definitely don't support driving cars at or throwing substances at cops. This staff is bad PR for the movement, but it looks like there is a faction there that want to go down in a blaze of glory, rather than work the strategic, long term route. |
