Agree entirely - Excellent viewpoint. It's not just the Herald, it is most Mainstream Media, TVNZ and even RNZ I find disappoint more often than not. Indeed White Man Behind A Desk and G News ( unknown by most ) are where critical and honest reporting is at these days. It's a National disgrace ( pun intended ).

Agree. NZHerald New owners ( Murdoch&Australian media, same owners as ZB) do not allow journalists. Only , like Fox news and Sky news, pro right distorted news. What ordinary kiwis unfortunately don't know this caused Trump, Boris, Scott Morrison to Be elected. The relentless attacks on Jacinda trusthfulness( she "lies", spin, never answers a question) looks like character assasination . We've seen the results in latest poll and comments on Newshub. I was in Auckland visiting and two of my friends who don't have time to read real news told me the same. If Labour loose the election it will Be the end of progressive modern NZ and back to Key times: all our media are foreign owned by pro right . Even tv1 has Simon Powell now as CEO. Jacinda is admired all over t h e world and our economic success( media saying economy is failing ) is well documented. To hear that 2mil kiwis listen to Hosking got me worried : another Murdoch man, pro Luxon&Key. Key has done so much damage to our country and continues to do it thru his foreign friends : he got the Order of Australia for services to that country , he undermined our Delta fight spreading lies about Pfizer contract ( he was rebuffed by Pfizer but damage was done). I will not out it past him ! Destabilising our country to Be sold to American prepers as he has done before: Peter Thiel got citizenship in 2 weeks !
