Bruce Cotterill: TVNZ has lost its way and the public deserves better

There’s a lot going on. The Middle East. The oil price. The Royal Commission. The polls. The Senate hearings. Epstein. If you’re interested in current affairs, it’s a long list. It’s difficult to stay on top of things.

So I dragged myself back, kicking and screaming, to the 6pm television news. It’s a one-time ritual I’d long ago abandoned. I did so out of a need to catch up with the facts quickly.

I shouldn’t have bothered.
