sorry about that spelling Graeme..

Graham: he did pull a jim anderton esque / peter dunne esque line.
Roger: Israel is a US proxy, washington decides its policy.
To quote Graham Copeland: "i need to be in a party which listens to the ppl of nz, who are 80% opposed to the anti smacking bill ,which will become the law of nz tonight (16.5) and to make a clear committment to repeal that law"
He also said the "smacking bill" (media were told not to use this term, some still do, agreed Neil it does reflect ideology) was the "tipping point" but said "the longer perter dunne has led the party the worse it became" "it" being the differences of the two initial parties i.e. christian values vs liberal values.
Is that figure still 80%? will it be in 6 months? will be interesting

im more interested to see when Bain gets hooked into online gaming
And heres me thinking prisons are stacked with ps2 and xbox stuffed full of grand theft auto. What WoW character he be? HuK
Selective Tv viewing is the answer, good archaic vcr.
And anyway as we all know atomisation and democratisation create a cultural lowest common denominator which can be exploited by core institutions like the mass media to increase revenue streams, its efficient business, who wouldnt? And at the same time this means i can learn from and admire paris hilton, depleted uranimum nuclear waste ammunitions being used on civillian populations and people wanting rights to tenderly smash their kids. Im so excited!

DC: the "tell-all tale" should have come out in court, but there you go, and here we go
Good points about "but it's pretty easy just to call someone "a dork" and sit smugly back in your office chair..." and "All I'm saying is that it's not always as easy as you'd suspect.."
I think individually the nz audience know what they want, its the difference between interpreting that fragmented desire and commercial imperative that produces what we see.
Although i remeber the last attempt of tvnz to work out what the population wants re simon dallow and wendy petries yes/no polls.
So it seems achieving charter aims in a competitive market is a balancing act between the actualities of implementing noble ideals in a marketplace not known for such leniencies.
Anyway its great you guys are taking the time to respond. Ahh armchair analysis, maybe i better get back to doing real work

my personal fave of
I think the most inappropriate use of a 'How do you feel?'
is pretty much anything john campbell does to empathise with an interviewee (maybe he wants oprahs job?) or mark sainsbury interviewing the romanian boy who appeared to want to play with his steam train and not talk about his feelings.

Given that he made it clear he wasn't going to answer anything about the judicial process (and presumably therefore the case itself).
someone should have challenged that presumption
"why did your dad shoot the house up?"

right lets see if i can include someones comment in my own...
Do you think David Bain actually gets all the jokes about his sweater?
woo hoo!
yeah i think he does, he laughed (although maybe in exasperation) at john campbells question, and hes wearing that fabulous red and black number today, very populist.

<>To be fair, Campbell Live also spent an inordinate amount of time determining that the good folk of Te Kauwhata were okay with their new neighbour. If there hadn't been yawning spaces of TV time to fill that could serviceably have been covered in one line of script.<>
Up to a point, Lord Copper's. Both as indifferent as each other.
My desire is for stimulating journlism that lives up to the ideal of illuminating issues important to society, not something which potentially undermines trust of news reporters in an audience (if audiences notice it at all).
Its drawing time away from other, more important, issues.
such as nz journalism critically examining its own self-conduct, as befits such an institution in a democracy.If press self-scrutiny happened more maybe news wouldnt be so dumb.

"who is your wool-yarns supplier?"
quite hard to ask and answer the 5w's and h in such a "we're gonna need more angle ladders here people!" melee
even more astounding to me was the petrie dish and sainsburger stalking clearwater estate, with astonishing revelations such as "well david bain has changed over the past 13 years, he's grown up, he's more of a man" + the fact that under the lights she looked like a deer (doh?) in headlights
arent gnr playing nz soon?

You'll take it eventually
