As we end another year with the PM refusing to front on Q&A, a reminder the reason you won't hear much about it compared to when Ardern skipped Hosking's show is because NZME don't care about democracy, or holding power to account, or even journalism – they exist to spread Tory propaganda.
Compare when Ardern cancelled her weekly slot on Hosking's show vs when Luxon has cancelled or skipped three media slots.
*Everyone* covered the Hosking snub, but a big part of the reason for our polluted discourse is NZME flood the zone with shit through their reach.

I feel like this is exposing how the media can create stories out of thin air and make them run for as long as they want. It’s very obvious here with a Post opinion column being turned into something hacks ask politicians about, but now apply this everything: eg the economy is recovering narrative

Not that I have a ton of sympathy for Olivia Nuzzi but this is insane framing: "Woman who complained about privacy violations gets her privacy violated."

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

NZ Herald's Thomas Coughlan once again complains about "lazy commentators" comparing Nicola Willis to Ruth Richardson, even though he then admits Richardson herself wants Willis to copy her devastating benefit cuts.
A lot of our media fell for Willis' "liberal" posing and can't admit it.

Meanwhile its Head of Business just openly admits to advising NZTU's Jordan Williams that it's not appropriate to attack the government in their newspaper

I find it very funny that the NZ Herald doesn't view themselves as conservative when their Head of Business describes Ruth Richardson as a "doughty fiscal warrior".

In an editorial bemoaning the lack of trust in institutions, the NZ Herald bizarrely groups a "Tory Whanau-era mayoral business advisory group" to scandals like police corruption.
Just shows even when the left tries to kowtow to the right, they'll still get lambasted for it.

Typically useless reporting from Tova O’Brien, who spends her considerable paycheck complaining Labour MPs were too rude to the poor Finance Minister & therefore the public didn’t learn anything. Perhaps they didn’t learn anything because you spent your time reporting on tone rather than substance

NewstalkZB's Mike Hosking, who has spent the year decrying judges, now wants to get rid of jury trials for all but serious cases. "Being judged by a jury of your peers - what a wonderful 1800's style thought. But here in the real world it's got a very stale, arduous vibe to it."

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

Sunday Star-Times' Andrea Vance taking a swipe at political columnists like Audrey Young for dutifully killing the Luxon coup talk.
This kinda confirms my suspicions that Nicola Willis has been behind most of the reporting our press gallery has done since before the election.

International media, you can do better than this.
"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

Ah the life of a Senior Political Correspondent. You can just decide, a day after a "radical" plan to undermine democracy is announced, with no polling, that "no one cares" and move on.
I'm sure your fellow journalists at NZME don't care, Audrey, and your coverage will reflect that.

NZ Herald, rattled by polls showing 2/3rds of the public support a CGT, desperately search around for an attack line.
"Uh, but it should only apply to inflation-adjusted gains!"
Why? Australia's doesn't
"Uh, a person’s home is also their retirement!"
Labour's CGT doesn't apply to the family home

NZME wanted to be really, really sure you understood that this is their writer's OPINION, so they broke out the double quote marks, even though they don't do that for literally any other opinion headline.
Would've been easier just apologising to Hobson's Pledge in a text message.

I see NZME's Mike Hosking is back to pretending he's a COVID expert, today saying Britain's lockdowns were a mistake and (somehow) the Ardern govt is also to blame for locking down at the same time? Anyway, here's Mike previously saying we should lockdown and Britain was the one to follow.

I'm not a Professional Reckons Haver, but telling the public "you're gonna work longer and more of your salary is gonna go into a savings account you can't touch until you retire" doesn't scream "good politics" to me, like The Post's Luke Malpass claims. Maybe you had to be there.
