Hard News: Media Take: The selling of…, in reply to Sacha,
I'd like to see journalism activities regulated more explicitly, given that the media industry has shown us quite clearly now that it cannot be trusted to keep to basic ethical standards.
I've said it before, but what NZ needs is to bring Justices Leveson & Finkelstein here to chair a Royal Commission. If there's a regulatory template to follow, it's Scandinavia, which ranks in the RSF's Media Freedom index top 10, while still holding journalistic misconduct to account.

But Jenna Raeburn's presentation as some sort of commentator when she was literally part of the National campaign has been absurd.
Raeburn is coveting Matthew Hooton's seat. She sounds just like Kellyanne Conway, complete with all the "alternative facts".

Russel Brown, by letting these exhaustive personal attacks go on without moderation, you're effectively endorsing them. I wouldn't have dipped in here if I knew your pool was as shallow as this.
Kumura, you're a coward. At least Dalziel trolled in the daylight.
Someone's a bit triggered. And it's certainly not us PAS regulars.

Mirrored as well in BE election night speech with its repeated, repeated, repeated reference to 'strong and stable' government.
Which itself was a carbon copy of Theresa May's post-Brexit snap election remarks. Whenever I hear "strong & stable", it comes out as, "arrogant & uninspired".

Please don't ban him. Keep providing the rope. It's going to be a slow news week in politics, so it might well interest some in the media to know that National's lying (sorry, masterful) ad campaign came from the furthest reaches of far right.
This. Here's some more fun for him.

Most libertarians tend to ignore the fact that their hero Ayn (government handouts are "immoral") Rand, actually spent her latter years on a government benefit. Not many people know that.

OOOooo so Glenn(thanx KR) are you one of the advertising peeps responsible for Nationals campaign?
The Business Herald understands that a key creative talent for the Nats is Glenn Jameson, a creative director at the freelance advertising bureau The Pond, and who has an impressive CV working in New Zealand, the UK and the US.
Jameson did not return calls and The Pond office referred Business Herald queries to Joyce.
Jameson says on the Pond website that he has had stints at Draft FCB, DDB and most recently as creative director at Republik.
He says in his profile that his talent is to "find truth in bullshit".
Jameson loves philosophy and appears to be attracted to the Right.
He is is an admirer of the individualist writer Ayn Rand.
His loves include his children "and me".
He advises prospective clients to read Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness " and you'll love Me too".
