  • Hard News: Episode One,

    people who turn shit into chocolate cake

    craig, you have such a way with words. can you slip more of these into next week's show? they make great sound bites. maybe trick russell into saying the c word

    once again, i thought the show was fantastic. while russell's not nearly as attractive as the news girl who came on afterwards, i thought he was damn good for a first attempt.

  • Hard News: Ready to Fly,

    i hope so. then again, they're playing exactly the same news bulletin on a 10 minute loop this morning. that's got to be cheap.

    Fantastic show tonight Russell! Congratulations!
    I think you had Mark Jennings sweating in the first 10 minutes (though I'm not sure if that was your intention)

    The news item straight after media7 was priceless - does the presenter always store her microphone under her desk?!

    I'm not sure if you're aware, but there was a bottle of heineken placed squarely in front of the audience camera during your show - it looked a bit like product placement...

    Oh, he's a NZ First politician, it's election year, and they're moaning about the great hordes of immigrants. Big surprise. It's not even news

    even a 250% mark up wasn't worth it to the generator

    ...but is it enough to make construction of new power plants economic? i suppose you'd need a PhD in economics to work that one out

    Perhaps that's just the free market I love coming back to bite me in the arse, but I don't have to like it. :)

    well, there's something in that.
    are TVNZ7 aiming to become something like BBC news? i think the BBC is funded by the UK government. as is NZ national radio

    ... and who decided to put those grisly ultra-close up macro pictures of sainsbury's face on the side of auckland buses? argh!

    Mark: I found them interesting, but would suggest that Radio NZ needs to clean up it's own act more than a little.

    true. and they're probably one of the more impartial/reliable news sources in NZ...

    Great post Keith.
    I assume you heard the articles on National Radio on Monday, about PR manipulation of media

    on a positive note, i caught a bit of TVNZ7 news at 8pm last night, it wasn't too bad. Definitely more in-depth that the tv one infotainment
