I is about the precipitous drop in the public's confidence in the
media -- down to 33% in the latest survey (although they avoid
mentioning that figure in the article!). The media navel-gazes for a
few seconds, but then exonerates itself totally. Read it if you dare, >>>but here is the layman's summary:

Media: Why has the public trust in us dropped so far?!? Should we >>>report facts more fairly? Should we have a broader range of
viewpoints in our editorials?!? Um... naa-a-a-A-A-AAHHH! The
problem isn't us -- it's the public! We simply aren't communicating
our lefty woke viewpoints well enough. We need to up the volume and >>>intensity until those boorish Neanderthals finally understand our
cosmic truths!! The answer may be to pretend to listen to them.

End of article. Not joking, that's our media.

Your misunderstanding of the programme is profound. Since you appear
to regard Mike Hosking as one of New Zealand's most apolitical and
reliably honest journalists, your credibility may be just a little
tainted, Tony.

I apologise for the insult, Willy Nilly - I was replying to you rather
than to Tony.

So no apology at all then!
