Someone at NZME needs to check on Mike Hosking, who up until now has only extolled the noble corporation's pursuit of profit, is now admitting the banks make too much money.
He even says he's "increasingly moving towards accepting I'm wrong" and Adrian Orr (!) might have been right.

What's funny about the BBC resignations over the Trump/Capitol Jan 6 riot edit is Trump used the word "fight" 20 times, along with all sorts of violent imagery and threats, and said "peacefully" once. His intent was so clear only a bad-faith newspaper like the Telegraph could pretend this was bias.

Yes really — the “we asked this guy. He doesn’t actually know jack shit but he’s rich” model of reportage really needs to go
theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

This must be the most pure form of Betteridge's law of headlines, considering *no one* won, which the NZ Herald knew before writing this.

Our political editors went from defending their job of attacking the gap between a politician's "word and deed" to mysteriously jumping off their high horses straight after the last election. Look at all the words and deeds they could compare!
The implicit promise of the govt's whole shtick was to leave things to locals and get central govt and political interference out of local decisions. That implicit promise has been thoroughly and repeatedly broken and one would hope one of our country's political editors would notice that.

Well that's one way to kill a newspaper.

As a millionaire who never leaves his luxury car or office endorses the forced removal of homeless people from Auckland's CBD, a reminder that crime there is down 35%.

One of my favourite things is this absolute misery guts spending his life bitching & moaning about everything except whatever fuckery the coalition govt is doing & then wondering why the plebs are complaining all the time.
You might be doing fine, Mike, but perhaps you're a bit out of touch.

The media will play this "Labour refuses to rule out working with the extremists" song up until the election but will never once ask Luxon if he's comfortable working with the extremist parties he's currently working with. In fact, they make excuses for him, saying he can't control ACT and NZF MPs.

NZME's Thomas Coughlan once again rushes to scare-monger about a tiny percentage of edge cases while ignoring the actual, current govt policies that are negatively affecting the majority of people.

NZ Herald's Jamie Ensor – who literally just wrote an opinion piece about how Luxon's meeting with Trump was a "big win" – now says "Luxon may have something to say about [tariffs]" about the SAME meeting – BRO HE HAD A CHANCE AND DIDN'T SAY SQUAT. At what point do you criticise dear leader?

In a glowing write-up on how great the Luxon/Trump meeting went, the NZ Herald's Jamie Ensor claims Trump is "known for his energy and for working long hours", which really reveals the news sources he's reading.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.
