    CR,

    Metro should be Auckland, and proudly so. In its heyday (WR) that was its charm (and strangely, more likely to be bought by a Wgtner)

    But the "we try not to be parochial" line is a bit shabby.

    @ TracyMac. I just thought he flipped pretty quickly from saying Auckland is NZ's most interesting city to saying he was not parochial.

    In the space of about a minute.

    Metro needs to be proud of Auckland; understandable raison d'etre, but the post-match platitude seemed a bit ... forced.

    Wow,

    That editor from the Metro on the Media 7 show.

    2 minutes on why Auckland is grat, and then he has the cheek to say he's not parochial.

    Both points valid, but badly mixed.

    Sparkles!!!

    The only thing worse than their ads was the product itself.

    Made Air NZ lollies taste like a delicacy.

    Working out the best place to register your blog is clearly a lot simpler than registering at PAS.

  • Hard News: The next bylaw will ban irony,

    I am becoming more and more convinced that a large proportion of Laws’s policies are more about increasing his radio ratings than anything else.

    Tracey Barnett and John Dybvig (who should hit the road as a double act)

    Should be good.

    What does Dybvig actually do these days?

    Difference being that the dissatisfaction with The Listener and The Herald is more of a generic thing.

    If someone cancelled a Herald subscription solely because Garth George writes for it, then I’d say that was pretty precious too.

    I have an acquaintance who says she can't bear to tune into Public Address Radio because she won't support a station that employs a fuck-tard like Laws. Can't honestly say I blame her.

    No, that’s being precious.

    NZ is such a small place that every media outlet employs someone distasteful in some way or other.

    Name one station / channel / paper that is completely toad-free.
