If your incestuous relationship with the Labour Party was the correct one, in the sense that we the public should have followed all the journalists’ infantile utterances, why wasn’t Labour re-elected?
If your journalists are the so-called ‘fountain of all truth’ why wasn’t Labour re-elected? Are journalists believable these days? If they aren’t, why do you think that is?
Do you even know why the majority of the voters took no notice of your opinions in the lead-up to the election? Have you the slightest idea why you discredited yourselves in the eyes of the voters?
Are you aware you live in a separate universe from most of us, that you are in a bubble of your own making? Are you aware that you have turned what was once an honourable profession into something irrelevant to many?
Do you believe you are employed to make the news to suit your narrative, or to report the facts?
Do you believe during the Prime Minister’s first press conference that you carried out your journalistic duty or did you attend for the sole purpose of ‘throwing your toys out of the cot’? I assure you that’s exactly the impression most people watching had.
Christopher Luxon is to be congratulated for a superb handling of a press conference he had every justification for leaving after five minutes. He displayed the patience of Job having to repeat answers over and over again trying to get the children in the room to understand. There must be a very low bar to get into journalism these days. Remembering to put a left-wing spin on everything seems to be the yardstick. Journalists used to be reputable, objective in their reporting and stuck to the facts.
This brings me to the next question: when are you going to unglue yourselves from the Labour Party and cease spouting left-wing bias on items of irrelevance like how many dairies can sell cigarettes? The people of this country deserve much better than the utter tripe you serve up that we are supposed to swallow. If I were employed as a television autocue reader I would be highly embarrassed. The news should not be about journalists’ opinions; it should be about facts.
Being the slow learners that you are, as you made abundantly clear in Luxon’s press conference, you need to report the news reflecting the fact that there is a new government, a new narrative and new policies. Behaving like a mosquito, trying to draw blood at every opportunity, is not what your job entails.
The thrashing your pals got at the polls, despite your biased and unwavering support, means you are nothing more than a mosquito who creates an itch that refuses to go away.
Your focus now has to be objective reporting on the Luxon, Seymour and Peters era. It will probably be a long one so get used to it. Winston has already proved what a precious bunch of little darlings you are so my advice is to harden up, start asking questions that reflect your position and age, and start serving the public in a way they expect.
We all know what the Public Interest Journalism Fund was. By trying to put a different spin on it you are embarrassing nobody but yourselves. It’s time to exit the circus tent of the last government and start talking about the positive gains the country will make courtesy of the Coalition.
It won’t be easy for you and probably you’ll be somewhat tongue-tied at the start but the majority of the population would at least appreciate you giving it a go. You may not like it but think of it this way: truth is a precious commodity.

I remember when the Christchurch Press had integrity. It was the heartbeat of the city run by a dedicated Editor, Andrew Holden. He took pride in delivering balanced reporting. I considered it the best newspaper in the country. The barometer was the letters section where all points of view were tolerated and unaltered. Andrew moved back to Australia and the new editor turned our newspaper into what it is today. An absolute putrid pile of left wing excrement emulating the current editors political baggage. Christchurch deserves better.
It still has not dawned on the media that because the power of cancellation is still great, the public do not make known thir attitude on many issues, and esepcially maorification. The election was lost by Labour because the public had the opportunity to express their views in confidence and so avoid cancellation. The msm should try pitching their reporting to th real citizenry and not to the front they are all currently required to put on.
To The Author of this article -
Good Person, a suggestion for you -
"Take said article, print numerous times, find enough plain white envelopes, and if you have the names of the 'NZMSM' to whom they could be sent to, then have them hand delivered to said persons".
If it was at all possible, I would suggest that this article should be emailed to every household within NZ.
Why do I suggest this, well - I read an article that has rhyme & reason, but sadly hidden away in a specific website, that many New Zealanders will -
- not know about
- if they did, would not take time to read posted articles (if they did the comments pinned, would be numerous)
- or if they do access & read, most possibly denigrate articles as being ? well I will let you and other readers used terminology that would fit.
The point, I agree with you. BUT New Zealand (note use of correct Country label) need to see & read - the concurring by many would be interesting to see, observe and listen to.
Conversations we should be having, not "sadly continually crying over spilt milk because the All Blacks failed to win a rugby game".
People can email Melissa Lee, the new national party broadcasting minister and let her know your views on taxpayer funding for main stream mafia. Her email is on the national party website. The non-event protest was an example of just how woke tv1 and newshub are.
They went on and on about a protest that you would not even know was happening if it hadn't been for the msm coverage. Yet any protest that is for the centre-right. is ignored or portrayed as far-right, nazi, racist, coloniser, white-supremicist, or whatever word they deem appropruate to shut down any debate.
Yes, a great article JC. All I think it needed was a parting shot like '-
As a good start, you can drop the 'Aotearoa' bs.' And perhaps cut the defining, and further dividing, of what already is a minority cohort into smaller groups based on some ancestral tribal lineage that the vast majority of your readers couldn't give a toss for - just as, undoubtedly, the feeling is mutual.
