  • Can our media stoop any lower?

    This is an example of the utter shallowness and contempt that
    commercial television have for New Zealanders. There are enough
    serious issues calling for proper examination by journalists, but
    instead we get personal opinion on trivial issues. With an election
    coming up this sort of low-cost time wasting self-indulgence by
    reporters who think they are the news should be widely condemned.
