When being weak is actually strong | tumblr.com/dailyindignati…
Another one for the bonfire: RNZ's supposedly neutral political round-up column takes it as granted that Luxon was "strong and decisive" (because 3 NZ Herald writers said so!) but Hipkins' response is editorialised as "tired old".
See, the media CAN use the word "weak" when it comes to Prime Ministers and their disciplining ministers, they just have to be Labour Prime Ministers.
This isn't journalism on any level. This is straight up PR. You can't run this as the top story on the website without mentioning the bias in the headline.
I *think* NZ Herald/RNZ are trying to get me angry about "government waste" but when the story is one government wanted to thank 80,000 frontline workers and the new government is firing them, I'm not sure they know who their target is.
Once again, by seeking to ward off claims of bias the media employ some shockingly awful people to write inaccurate nonsense as “balance”, but at least here Grant was so full of shit he got pinged.

Journalists like Coughlan like to say they’re simply reporting what’s happening, as if they’re not actively constructing a narrative as soon as they can that has nothing to do with facts and is only the press gallery’s feelings. Just embarrassing sycophants.
Breaking: Cynical political stunt designed to counter perception Luxon is weak as piss works a treat on Bryce Edwards.
You and I might have thought it a bit embarrassing to have to sack two ministers for incompetence before you’ve even presented a budget, but we just don’t understand politics.

If any of the media bothered to take a peak into the ACT and ex-ACT team ( those who don’t currently have name suppression for assaulting minors) I bet there is lots of - how did Willis put it- “snakes and snails” in the act cupboard
Ex-ACT MP David Garrett, original architect of 3 strikes law, stalker and stealer of dead child's identity. What an utter, utter creep. stuff.co.nz/politics/35025…
You know, just for laughs it would be really great to put people in leadership roles for public health that have a genuine interest in and strong record of supporting the well-being of the public & who also believe that pandemic response is an ongoing priority to fund/resource.🤔

I’m so tired of this 🙃 Public Service Association slams Oranga Tamariki job cuts, accuses it of 'downgrading' commitment to Māori newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala…
The reason almost every agency is cutting Māori teams is because they’ve been asked to find savings in areas that no longer align with the new govt’s priorities. Just yuck all around - from both the agencies (push back on racist ‘priorities’ ffs) and the govt encouraging this.
If we promised to agree that Luxon having to sack two ministers he's only just appointed really shows how awesome he is, would y'all agree to stop writing columns telling us so?
It's been *days* why are senior gallery reporters *still* writing about this with spin directly sourced from Luxon?? 😅😅
Let’s be clear - this is the change Aotearoa votes for. Many were hoodwinked, but it is classic Tory playbook: 1. Campaign loudly on fixing everything 2. Get in and cry loudly about how expensive it is 3. Sell thing off to mates so they can make big money 4. Repeat
After-hours clinics on verge of collapse in some regions rnz.co.nz/news/national/… This is unacceptable & needs sorting @DrShaneRetiMP you can't leave Kenepuru with no emergency care when the hospital is 25ks away & no reliable transport. Has Reti refused to be interviewed again?
Another article from Claire Trevett this morning, telling us how great Luxon is, without mentioning the elephant is the room, the coalition ministers who should also go, but won't as he is either scared of Peters or Seymore or wants to be PM do much, he'll leave then alone.
What this article fails to point out is that NZ's tax rates are lower than most other OECD countries and particularly Australia. newshub.co.nz/home/politics/…
As an objective, unbiased journalist, I am duty-bound to write a lot of negative articles about Biden because my nepo baby boss is mad at him for not doing more interviews.
The flip side of @nzherald spin: Government lacks depth in talent & experience to solve complex problems. PM struggles to pick the right team & lead effectively. But hey, spinners will spin. 🫢
@NewshubPolitics Ha ha, Trish Sherson of the Act Party. Of course she's going to blast anything Hipkins says. Is this "news" that you are reporting?
This isn't journalism on any level. This is straight up PR. You can't run this as the top story on the website without mentioning the bias in the headline.
@actparty Oh, THIS Mark Cameron 😂
Have I got it wrong, or is there an implied criticism in this headline? Those workers put the rest of us ahead of themselves & their families and deserved to be recognized. nzherald.co.nz/business/after…
