Hard News: Bad Judgement, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Up to a point
And that's pretty much the point I want it up to, though I wouldn't want to restrict a journalist's ability to change career, as, as Rich points out, at least Boris Johnson has done.

Hard News: Bad Judgement, in reply to Russell Brown,
Duh. Yes.
Thanks. I liked this bit of honesty:
"My usual response [to accusations of bias] is that it is hard enough putting a paper out every day, and that I'm not smart enough to run an agenda, too."
But overall, I'm still uncomfortable with the pretense of objective truth. I prefer the European approach in which everybody knows the editorial and political leanings of each newspaper before they pick it up. Seems a bit more honest. Still, objectivity is something I hope and believe most journalists actively strive for.

Got a link for that?

well worth a read, as always.
Thanks. Pity the only intelligent comment was yours. Vicki Anderson raised some very good points, and I was a little disturbed at how many artists' names I simply did not recognise.

And of course when the equation evolves a larger than life, flamboyant character who certainly seems to have a taste for publicity, and, of course, Winston Peters, there's not much needed in the way of Secret Squirrel skulduggery to find out who's meeting who.

No lanterns, but flowers and light, at least.

mysterious, looming, vaguely threatening volcano. Great shot.

Mind you we used to make corrugated iron canoes at the base of the tip and cut ourselves frequently with no ill effect.
And you now have a rock solid immune system?
