Mediocre propagandists doing mediocre propaganda.
Excellent summary of the situation
You're right...........Reality Check Radio.
The demise of Newshub is a catastrophic failure to read the room. They received plenty of signals from the public over successive years but ultimately chose the path of self-defeat.
Yeah because they didn't go hard enough into infotainment and opinion pieces lol Current affairs show Sunday gets axed by TVNZ but infotainment show Breakfast survives. Nothing to do with ideology, everything to do with ppl not wanting traditional media. In the US the two most successful MSM networks are MSNBC and Fox News lol
Good riddance, now TV1 news needs to go
They just as bad getting paid heaps thinking that we believe
Totally agree.
The day of reckoning has come!! Media, you have done this yourselves. Buy Buy 👋
@@chriskiwi2601bye bye too.😎
We've had enough of cynical mocking reporting.
A great day for the people of NZ people, may TVNZ topple also. You did it to yourselves by consistently running Govt properganda over the past few years!
"Friends of all Kiwis...." Shows just how out of touch the poor deluded Paddy Gower is!
Except unvaxinated sis white people.
Totally out of touch!
Stupid Paddy, no one wants painted sex puppet blokes reading to their kids. That trans shit, was the last straw, pal. Didn't watch after that stunningly biased "documentary".
Only friends of Cindy and she's gone and taken her bribes with her.
They can join the dole queue a long with all the Refugees from Gaza that the Government is bringing in 😅
Paddy Gower’s comment is about as in touch with reality as he ever is.
sounds like hes back on the juice
Well one to keep clear of Skokie babay
Left leaning wokeness does not appeal nor does biased reporting
That’s why a couple of years ago, I stopped watching the news in New Zealand it’s so Very biased, very pro-labour and green and Māori we are all over it.. Chris Hipkins could not say what a woman is… idiot he was the laughing stock around the world…. May be Posie Parker / Kelly can come back haha….
Certainly are
Uh huh so that's why the two most successful MSM networks in the US are hardcore left MSNBC and hardcore right Fox News lol
Go anti woke, go broke....RCR
Bullshit
If they had been friends to all Kiwis they’d still have an audience left. They truly are out of touch & arrogant beyond belief.
Totally agree, we weren't looking for super stars in our media presenters just accurate factual investigative journalism.....
and they couldn't do it.
Undeniable that.
Not like this nasty bunch of a holes here...............
They never wanted to be our friends they just wanted to preach to us
Comments always turned off. Couldn't take the criticism. Now they are turned off.
I can't think of a single person in Newshub who I'll miss.
Me too
Heh, I can't name more than one or two of these so-called celebrities (and I am a real newshound). Nobodies, more like.
@@jnavonoD Oooh edgy today aren't we.
I did like the bloke on the early morning show who seemed to at least try to be a journalist _ can’t remember the name I’m sorry! 😂
And the netball player with zip code on chest
Glad the left-leaning reporting station is axed. However, would rather have seen the demise of TV1 'news'' programmes.
Warner bro's don't think news hubs leftest attitudes are not for them, they see the world is turning their backs on leftest socialist agendas, Go Republicans of the United States of America.
Current affairs show Sunday was axed by TVNZ but infotainment show Breakfast survived. Nothing to do with ideology, everything to do with people not wanting traditional media any more.
@@Dan-1066Incorrect! They took out tax dollars and then lied to us, that is why they are gone. More to come!
@@Dan-1066 I totally disagree...the breakfast show is so sickening it is impossible to watch! Dripping with socialist bias and communist rantings... you are wrong about people not wanting traditional media - people today just want facts and are not interested in hearing the opinions of some little wannabe journalist, still very wet behind the ears and with little life experience, telling us how we should think. Thank god they are going! Breakfast has to be looked at again they are woke to extreme and I for one am sick of them deciding I have to be re-educated and brought into line to agree with their pushed propaganda.... it is dangerous...there is no room for their type of control journalism.
@@valeriehughes1008 Disagree with what, seems you're just making my point for me lol in your own words you say Breakfast is dripping with socialist bias and communist rantings and yet TVNZ axed current affairs show Sunday evidently because it wasn't generating enough advertising revenue because of low viewership. If people wanted traditional media current affairs shows wouldn't be axed, it would be inane infotainment like Breakfast being axed. "people today just want facts" = they want their perception of reality regurgitated back to them which is exactly what alternative media provides and why its so popular.
The damage that legacy outfits like this have caused to the unity of this country will take time to repair…
“Go woke go broke” hits again
Anyone who closes the comments section on their Webpage - tells you all you need to know.
Suppress and censor all opposing opinions and debate.
Amazing that isn’t it? Didn’t want to hear most nzer’s opinion’s as it wasn’t what they wanted to push. The sheer arrogance of a news business not listening to the public is appalling. Good riddance, now let’s hope tvnz hears and listens, but I doubt it.
No more News hub left wing propaganda! Oh the Schadenfreude is delicious!
Excellent news
Hopefully TV1 News is next....
Yes both the barsdard channels can go, left wing garbage
News Hub has been pretty right wing for some time.
Particularly that worm Paddy Gower...
Paddy Gower also thought his giving up drinking was interesting and relevent to all NZers, goodbye to the worst sort of telling us how to think journalism
So agree with this.
looks like hes back on it
Good! Get those poisonous news media out! TVNZ has to be next! Great stuff law's 👏 👊
One news next please
Good to see them exit. Good job. We will not have to have a Maori language lesson every time we watch the news and weather. Of course we know that Paddy Gower has issues.
Excellent news
😆😆😆😆👍
I hope he has tissues....crying in his beer.
Paddy Gower has never been able to read the room.
🤣🤣😂🤣😂 propaganda team closes down. NO one is sad.
With friends like Patrick "golden shower" Gower & his ilk, the citizens of NZ hardly need enemies do they.
spot on you nailed it
Gower is a show pony
Newshub presented their opinions and agenda in the format of news. It was manipulation en mass. I'm pleased they have been stopped by no longer being marketable.
This is NOT NZ-specific. It IS occurring ALL OVER THE Western World!
Also, remember it took one despotic, Dystopian organisation to kill another. Look up Discovery's ESG score.
Now we can get back to being New Zealand & not F...king Aotearoa
Still got tv one with all that shit this is New Zealand english speaking we dont need all that shit
You are so correct...
Yes, f#$k the Maoris and their language huh! Never disappointed seeing comments on the Platform. I dont watch Newshub but the anti Maori is alive and well here.
Not if we keep gifting the Iwi our taxpaying $s: even then, they aren't happy!
The Treaty is just a modern Western capitalist corporation, now.
Well we need government to make English official language because only Maori and sign language are there we should all email our parliament people and get them to add it
1news & that Breakfast sh!t show should be the next
tv one news needs to go as well.
I'm pleased they have gone
me too. Shortland Steet Neext.
Theirs an old saying "Don't believe your own Press" .......But they did & doubled down on us the viewing public with all of their woke skewed biased views ,Karma is a Bitch!
Spot on 👌
When no-one believes what you say and you aren’t held accountable for your lies it’s good bye.
Their slanted representation of the facts is the very reason they are NOT 'friends of all Kiwis'
We haven’t had balanced news since prior to covid.
Since Ardern bribed them all.
How can Paddy be so delusional
They were drunk on Jacinda's Lala Land utopia that most have now realised that it was a scam.
drinking again?
Will be now hic,hic join wellington mayor
I hope TV one news across all platforms goes as well
They have been spitting the left claptrap for too long
Omg I'm praying Miriama's show gets cancelled. 😂 She's the worst, i can imagine her melting down yelling "BUT, BUT, MEEEEEEEEE!!"
Pretty sure that if “these amazing people “ did their jobs, they wouldn’t be shut down.
Don't slam the door on the way to the dole queue gower 👋
Go have a good drink Paddy and a cry.
Very well said there Michael!!! Consultation like Royal Commissions is a waste of everyone's time.
I couldn't have said it better myself!!!
Stefan Molyneux walked all over Gower. It's on youtube somewhere as a example/lesson on how not to conduct an interview.
Good to see that the crap they put on the news is going to be over.. they reported on absolute fucking rubbish!
Aah, but you did get a non English language lesson….lol
Manufactured propaganda. Like Kiwis will miss that .Away you go Paddy
Was that Paddy Gower's final bit of bs? One can only hope we will never see him again on air.
Take out the papers and the trash
Love what you did there ❤
"clickety clack...and don't come back"
Paddy Gower! Paddy so & so Gower. Deluded is an understatement.
Bye Bye news papers , tv and advertising people times are changing , the police are looking for 500 recruits
they would fit in with the weak left cops
They wouldn’t pass the honesty and integrity test
Don't wish that on us!!! 500 little know it all socialist/communists on the motor way pulling us over and giving us lectures on how to think and how we are all driving cars instead of saving the planet on our push bikes! These people are virtually unemployable as they are totally brainwashed with Labour socialist propaganda and are now irrelevant in NZ today.. in fact in the world today as the swing is away from the woke left and it is happening all over the world.
A market garden near me is seeking onion pickers.
Get better work stories haha
They were so out of touch with what the majority of people wanted. Even when the polls all showed declining trust, they still didn't get it. No great loss.
Newshub don't allow comments. That tells you everything you need to know!
What happened to "Good evening!" Couldn't understand what they were saying half the time, so kicked all NZ TV news to touch long ago.
Me too, I thought TVNZ and Newshub were sheltered workshops for people with tourettes syndrome with sound "tics" but I could be wrong.
Will not miss their smug self-righteous wokeness, bias and gas lighting for one minute.
What about mihi Forbes and the public millions she has received?
New phone, nice car, some Botox it all goes quite quickly.
Joanne the pincher
My guess: Raaaaaaaccccciiissssttttttt
@@dontcomply3976I suspect she is . Your on the money there
Yes, Oliver, sorry I mean Sean has covered this already. Keep dribbling...
If they were so great they wouldn’t be unemployed
didn't appreciate the woke direction it went but (tv) journalism as an industry / career is the loser
Woop-de-doo. Do not care, have not watched any TV since 27th March 2020.
Exactly!! Me too ! The day news died for me
@@5150showCindy killed it for me. More painful to watch her than a hot fork in the you know what.
How ironic a news conpany doesn't let you make a comment om their clips. They ain't cared about the public for a very long time ...
Just like local and central government: _"We have to consult but we don't have to listen"_
Yes worked for a major Bank 15 years ago, the staff surveys were worded so that they got the answers they wanted amazing? Main stream media drink all their own cool aid and wonder why the public turn against them!
Won't miss newshub but glad they have kept Rush and Eden and TVNZ should can that insipid Shortland St. and keep Fair Go.
I hate being lied too. So glad these people fired. They had the chance to enlighten the world. Such a waste
Ole paddy who got owned by Stefan and Lauren a few years ago , lol
Paddy wouldn't know an average Kiwi if he ever met one, his lot have not wanted too. A bit like Jacinda really.
this is good news
Welcome to the real world. Here today, gone tomorrow. Goes for all of us
Bloody good news just like when c i n d y split
Go woke go broke
Whats the problem??? People everyday lose their jobs and get on with life....but no, because its media there is somehow a special case to fight for!! Its a business for goodness sake..
Clever people get their information elsewhere and the info is more accurate and reliable..... nothing worse than watching a news item with an old TH-cam video being shown!! Hilarious
And I was never interested in their weddings, birthdays or sex life either. Just should have delivered the FACTS.
Trying to make themselves celebrities @@lynnebarnes3840
Paddy see you later
News hub?.........i stopped watching TV and the news a 30 years ago,.......but have just started watching the platform this year, so far so good, just don't go woke and stay unbiased and just bring the facts as best posable.
Possibly will fail...not enough Investigative reporters these days...but so far it's worth listening to ...
Leah's got that sorted
Uh huh so that's why current affairs show Sunday was axed by TVNZ but infotainment show Breakfast survived. Because Breakfast just brings the facts as best as possible and Sunday doesn't lol
@Dan-1066 Try stay on topic. No one mentioned TVNZ
@@allananderson949 Evidently someone didn't even watch the video he's commenting on lol I refer you to Michael Laws' comments from 8 minutes and 12 seconds in. I'm quite entitled to reference TVNZ given it was referenced in the video, is that OK with you sunshine?
Yeah - they were not friends of this kiwi. They can learn to code, or flip burgers, or make coffees.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'm going to miss the appalling spelling and grammar mistakes though!
Yes, always good for a laugh.
@@gsd4me00 Cringe-worthy at it's best!
True.😊
Ha, still happens on tvnz. Try their captions, always out of time, miss spelt, miss quoted, just absolutely poor.
@@runforrestrun1965. To be fair, the captions are computer generated and unless the speaker uses perfect diction, which most of us do not, the computer get confused. OTOH, headlines and opening blurbs are written by a person and in many cases it is obvious that the barely literate work experience kid is the one doing it.
It is a different world. Last time I watched the 6pm news on TV was about 6 years ago when I arrived back in NZ. It was full of bias, opinion, and propaganda that favoured the government of the day.
The media bias shows in subtle ways, from the topic of the story, the angle of the story, the story headline, through to the tone and attitude of the presenter.
Their behaviours are obviously different, depending on which side of the topic (or politics) the presenter believes the person they are interviewing is on. Nice if they think you agree with them, and aggressive if they think you do not agree with them.
Most egregious, is the way in which the media do not report the full story. They only report the part of the story that supports their world view and narrative.
Report the facts without fear or favour. Report the full story. Keep bias and opinion out of it. Just give us the news and let us form our own opinions.
Why would anybody Buy News Content from New Zealand?
Who's funding Lhaws then?
@@NathanSpur Even News 1 is turning off their Comments....New Zealand TV doesn't want feed back from the Public
Next Slimy 7 sharp.
.
The only lesson that they have learned is if the were more left or woke they could be working at TV one
May as well have had no news at all the last several years
I stopped watching it ages ago anyway. No friends of mine that's for sure.
When Cindy's money ran out, the Chickens came home to roost.
go woke, GO BROKE!
SO glad.
And Gower is living deeply within the DipLib reality distortion field.
Which is fine - until the rest of the world stops paying you to do so - then it becomes a very cold lonely place.
Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.
Whats that proverb about BS walking.
I feel for those who've lost their jobs, and I certainly can't say I'm happy - that would be cruel, however actions have consequences and their wilful disregard for the people of this country has come back to bite them. So maybe justice has been served!
Love how the sell outs got sold out! Good riddance. Apparently IKEA are hiring!
I'd like to see hier Jack boots Tame go the same way.
Yeah, Jack Lame should be gone too
Soon as i saw ' friends of all Kiwis ' I thought how many Kiwis.
Not enough evidently.
The loss of Newshub is cause for celebration. At risk of becoming boring but go woke, go broke.
i cant believe so many people still watch tv news in general
Great idea to present a Truthful, including International, news!!
The pendulum of change swings away from years of increasing wokery, one down, one to go.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the great awakening
Enjoy the ride
Go Woke Go Broke, It's not like we didn't warn them! 🤣
Like RCR ? lol
I think Paddy Gow is a right piece of work - woke as
Yip i stopped watching his crap after his show about hate speech,made it look like only muslims are victims of hate speech
They spew out lies, people know and don't listen to their crap, so advertisers get progressively less for their $. Fitting end.
can we open up a a spot for platform on tv
Good job. The news has been lies for many years. Bring the truth and I will start watching again.
If Paddy Gower says it's raining outside , we should all know it's farkin sunny
NZ definition of consultation: "We've made a decision, and here it is.
Suck it up".
"We're losing 250 people who refused to report both sides of the story, who didn't know the difference between journalism and propaganda, who were happy to stay silent, or do ANY investigative work into the V, when tens of thousands of Kiwis lost jobs, friends, families and even lives. How does it feel now??? To us it feels good watching kama take a chunk out of your backsides.
Great news.....🎉
Paddy Gower Will have plenty of time now to learn how to be a balanced journalist , he will have time to reflect on his brand of journalism, and reinvent himself into someone who can report on the facts and commentary will be without his agenda😄
Paddy Gower's comment about being friend of all new Zealanders - is delusional
Disappointed it’s gone. But they lost public trust. Is a wake up call for other media.
Just FYI.. TH-cam and X both have the function to generate a voting poll. Might be a nice way to see where your viewers stand.
I would love to say that were true Paddy, but sadly it isn't good luck for your future
Stopped watching Newshub years ago. Stopped watching Gower, Sunday, TV1 news...etc. I got a sense they were "wannabe celebrities" preaching to an uninterested audience.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 brilliant.reap what you sow. More to go, maybe BSA next?
