That it's Nick Smith telling us it's a problem via Facebook tells me it's not a problem.

Maybe he just chose a media outlet that Labour couldn't make illegal?

That, or National trying to speak up about something it has no moral authority to give voice to...

Remember, the Labour party of Jacinda Ardern (B. Communication Studies in Public Relations and Political Science, Waikato) has massively improved in one key area: it communicates better. That's not to say that it DOES anything better, but it says things more effectively. Like, "Stay home save lives". Brilliant. Best bit of coronavirus govt messaging I've seen anywhere. Another bit of great govt messaging was Kris Faafoi's announcement that no-one from Bauer lobbied him for relief to keep the magazines going. It leaves the recipient of that message (you and me) with the impression that Bauer decided not to do something--something that could have saved it--with the man who could have saved them. It leaves you and me with the impression that that nice Labour Minister Kris Faafoi COULDA WOULDA helped if only he had been asked, oh dear never mind, back to lockdown. The true genius of that bit of govt messaging is only evident when someone points out that Kris Faafoi is Minister of Broadcasting, Communications and Digital Media. Printed publications, newspapers and magazines are nothing to do with Kris Faafoi's Ministry - they fall under the purview of the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. I suspect that the Minister of Fisheries and the Minister of Climate Change weren't lobbied by Bauer either, because just like Kris Faafoi it's not their fucking problem. But by the time a tiny percentage of the people who actually care about media stuff realise that their perceptions of an important issue are being "managed", everyone else is already at that nice Labour Minister Kris Faafoi coulda woulda helped if only he had been asked, oh dear never mind, back to lockdown. It's very very clever. Like really slickly done. Hey who's the Minister of Culture and Heritage again? |

Bauer can fuck right off. Any apparent serious journalism isn't justification for the rest of the trash they publish.
Journalism was dead as soon as it got embroiled with advertising. You can't both make out to be informing people, while also working hard to misinform people.

I don't have any strong feelings about Bauer - I'd never heard of them until last week. I have strong nostalgifeels about The Listener, and to a lesser extent Metro and North & South.
I have very very strong feelings of suspicion when a Labour government whose current leader fetishises Michael Joseph Savage does anything to do with influencing media channels. |

Glad that's the extent the media needs to "hold power to account".
What the PM meant was clear: "Our goal is to eliminate Covid-19 from New Zealand, so that we can live and work free from this disease." It's a tepid argument "aw, but maybe people thought everything would be locked down until they were 100% safe from everything!"

Doesn't mean the PM & cabinet isn't taking the right approach. Yes things like this need to be questioned and the detail teased out - the media SHOULD definitely be doing this (note that Elers is not himself a journo despite his opinion pieces for Stuff). However this is such a nothing article; I wonder why he bothered?

I wonder if the successful response to the pandemic may be Labours undoing. I know its a very cynical viewpoint - but one of the outcomes of a successful pandemic response seems to be a massive bollocking of the economy.
Come election time, if Labour can't put together a recovery package good enough and quick enough, will people (because people tend to vote selfishly) vote them out based on a likelihood that they are much worse off than they were? Have Labour seen this coming, and are preparing to extend these lockdown levels all the way up to election time? I wonder when the economic pressure will overcome fear (i.e it's valid to fear 2nd and 3rd COVID-19 waves) and rationality? |

what the hell does this guy have to do to get fired? Does he have pictures of the PM in bed with a dead hooker or something?

Simon Bridges is hardly an opponent to worry about though. I did see a poll a few weeks ago that showed National polling below Labour - but a poll is merely a snapshot in time of what voters think. A lot can change between now and the election.

Well yea, but "Simon Bridges is hardly an opponent to worry about though." just sort of makes my point. Like, who do you think they'll replace him with? Bene Basher Bennett? Crusher Collins? National's prospective leaders in waiting are all just as unappetising as Bridges. I mean, at least Bridges is kinda cute in that labrador "I have no idea what I am doing" way. Bennett and Collins don't even have that going for them - they're just repulsive.

I wouldn't take any notice of polls right now.
They will be swayed by Covid, where a lot of middle ground voters will swing to Labour. Once we've been in lockdown 2 for a while, then we can see what the polls say |
