I think you'll find they do, because impartial, balanced and objective reporting is what journalism is, or at least what it is supposed to aspire to.
"Goodnight, and good luck."

You might expect journalists to do that but you're going to be perptually disappointed because that's not their job.
I'd be genuinely interested to know if schools in New Zealand teach your version of journalism. That would explain a bit.

No, I'd expect journalists to fisk politicians on either side, as impartially as they can, and for reporting in general to err on the side of scepticism for politicians' utterances. It's not unheard of, you know, and how you get to argue that the sole alternative to being a mouthpiece is being Fox News is beyond me.

But then again, I'm old skool - I'm quite happy to pay for content to keep our writers and musicians in coffee money, even though my small contribution won't clothe or shelter them.
If it was actually possible to pay money so that Joanne Black had to spend half an hour every week in the rain, I swear I would - I'd turn into a gift idea to my friends fact.

From the words I wouldn't have though he was referring to household incomes, but that's the only way he'd be right.
Even if you gave him a massive benefit of the doubt on that one, he's still equating 'people' with 'families', which is of even greater concern to me than economic illiteracy or disingenousness for the sake of broadening what 'middle class' means.

I'd quite gleefully talk filth to my dear chum Frau Fifi Von Spangle-Bling
See, now you put me in a good mood for the whole day, and I had it pencilled as "grumpy". This is just going to mess with my schedule.

Maybe the just met at a swanky hotel. You know, while Goff was home eating fish and chips and watching the footie.

Just bought Chris Bourke's "Blue Smoke" . You would need a small truck to transport it. It is one heavy sucker of a book (but worth every magnificent page!)
Sometimes with Italian books I take advantage of the fact that shipping rates are per book and not by weight and get them to deliver to NZ veritable anvils that would send me over the limit if I were to try to include them in my baggage. There's a particular Internet bookshop that must surely hate me.
