I agree I turned off the mainstream media when Jacinda was in power and never bothered to turn it on again and have disengaged from society in general it feels good for my wellbeing to stop listening to all the woke bullcrap.🇳🇿🙏
The fact that he is studying the media and wont admit the legacy media isnt sticking to the principles of journalism is an indication of how far this country has fallen
It’s never ending reporting of stats that somehow is someone’s else’s fault. Yet stats that really matter, things we individually could do things about are ignored. And these are things that would really improve lives and by default our country.
Watching the 6 o’clock news on TV used to be a nightly ritual at our house, never felt I was being manipulated, the final nail was the deliberate misreporting of the Posy Parker rally in Albert Park, now my trust and the habit is entirely broken.
That incident shocked me hugely. Was once a leftie, now I see the lefty protest mobs are the actual facsists. And the lies in the media about Posey Parker! Couldn't believe what I was seeing. Mad world
That is very foolish. Those with money will buy the media (as they are doing) and all we will be fed is crap that serves the rich and powerful (as is what is happening now).
On MSM if you write anything against the narrative you get vilified for something they take out of context you didnt say Then you get blocked so theres no point its all corrupt
I quit the mainstream media about a decade ago, when they began to publish you go girl type puff pieces. The front page apology to maori by stuff was the final straw for my family and many others I've spoken to.
You are more correct than you would imagine. The KGB have been infiltrating western universities for years. Go look it up. It’s a massive demoralisation program and the weak minded sheep have been hooked line and sinker.
Ha Ha well Sorry but the Maorification of NZ is going ahead full steam & spurred on by ALL New Zealand media. Note now compulsory for Maori course at NZ medical schools!!! Plus Maori are allocated 40% of places & balance to other ethnicities PLUS Maori only need a 64.19% pass on Entry exams Yet All others must Attain 93% Pass to enter !!! You will not see this Ever in NZ media outlets!! Seems like North Korea.
I am sick of being lectured and want unbiased news presenters like we used to have. I also want our universities back studying things that will improve NZ, and improve the lives of those who intend, neither of which they are doing with their woke nonsense.
The university thing , twisting our young peoples minds with crap and woke b/s. It should be stopped . What they teach doesn't put food on the table , roof over there heads and cloths on there back. The education system should be ashamed of them selfs , but I bet you they think they are doing an amazing job, yes if you want to destroy a country.
Since when have universities done that? They are simply cash cows for the elite. "Woke" is dumb downed rubbish but Bill Gates likes it that way. A stupid populace, like a frightened one, cannot tell the difference between rubbish and knowledge. P.s. I was told by a retiring prof. that no 'critical thinking' happens at uni, in spite of every brochure from every department advertising that.
I threw the TV aerial off my roof at the start of covid. Couldn't bear all the lies. Now I watch the Platform (or did until TH-cam started demanding I disable my computer's ad blocker). Mostly I read and listen to RCR. And get all my breaking news from X (which basically tosses everything up there and lets what's correct sort itself out gradually). Works for me. Wish I wasn't still being taxed to support TVNZ, though.
I'm very interested in learning about the world around us. I'm not interested at all in being patronized by state funded propoganda. This professor refuses to address the lack of journalism in mainstream news entertainment; instead, he just says it makes people feel icky. Is his ignorance intentional or delusional?
If I want to less informed on a topic than I would be by ignoring it I'll watch mainstream New Zealand news. Being misinformed by lies of omission is worse than simply being uninformed.
That was entertaining, witty good journalism thank you. Interesting a. I think New Zealanders are a lot more conservative than we give them credit for.
This household seeks fact based information from citizens on the ground in the zone the news is coming out of....eg in North Carolina with citizens filming and reporting before, during, and after the Hurricane came and went through. Captures the mood, the facts, the real emotions, the struggles, the emense way that citizens mobilized, organised, worked out teams, different stages to start from eg clear roads, rescue people, clear yrees off buildings, then dig buildings out in that order. From Russia, to Gaza, to USA, to UK, to Australia, to Canada....its the citizens that are debunking the biased agendas, and forced narratives, propaganda flowing out of our Governments, and their legacy media platforms.
After subscribing to the Otago Daily Times for 27 years, we decided we were no longer prepared to pay for the anti farmer, anti gun, anti right wing bs they now regurgitate.

Hope Luxon sees the result of this survey. Might persuade him that something needs doing to protect the people’s investment in TVNZ. After all he is supposed to represent the people of NZ and we have no representation at TVNZ.

@@zerofull6936- we have two TVs in this household, but they haven't been used for years....with the amount of dust in them now, to turn them on could be a fire hazard.
I don't watch local media rubbish. I prefer truth. In fact I do watch TV at all. The only good thing about The press is the sudoku and other puzzles. I enjoy The Platform. I call local media press-stitues.
The number of New Zealanders I know who have switched off because of the insistance of hearing Maori language being spattered throughout the news. If we wanted to hear Maori spoken then we'd have tuned into Maori TV. Leave our language alone left leaning wokesters.
It’s the ultimate in condescending virtue-signalling and tokenism. The first sentence of every crossover has to be on Maori…. Then zero Maori So utterly contrived If they really cared, they would do Te Reo subtitles or an entire news programme in Te Reo But they don’t.
As an English man myself, I recognize that English isn't the Mother tongue of this nation. There's nothing wrong with being taught both English and Te Reo side by side.
What news? All we get in NZ is car crash information and half arse stories that suit the UN narratives, climate, finances, food scarcity and all other negative mind numbing crap. I turned of the radio and the tv to avoid the covid fear porn. The TV only comes on when I cast something to it and radio occasionally for music. Any information I wish to reserach is on the internet and I can weigh up the various commentaries and follow those that make the most sense. There is always the 2 sides to the story and we tend to follow the ones that align with our own thoughts. I think the Platform offers some great commentary, I don't always agree but much better than the cavemen on the BHH. Watch out for A.I. it will screw with your mind.
I stopped watching the news when Jacinda Ardern manipulated NZ media to the extent it became unwatchable. I would love to see 100% of state funding to TV and Radio NZ terminated now. It is wrong for tax payer funds to support such biased organisations.
The 6 o'clock TV news is the boundary of the new society split. I am a "conspiracy theorist" because I source my news from online alternative sources. The gap now is so wide you don't joke or talk about it.
The reason the news is dying in NZ is that the majority of Kiwis aren't woke, and the legacy news is. Presenters and reporters these days state their opinions as facts, can't keep their dislike or bias from showing, couldn't give an issue a balanced treatment if they tried, and Kiwis are sick of being told, or implied, that what we actually think and feel is wrong or bad. I think there are a lot of well paid presenters/journalists living in cities who have become so far removed from heartland NZ and the issues and viewpoints that families and communities care about. I doubt the disconnect between msm and the viewing public can be bridged, without acknowledgement that there is a serious problem with their product, and a massive effort to clean house. Will never happen because they seem to be such arrogant SOBs. I actively switch off or change the channel before any of our twit NZ news come on.
The NZ media is collectively trying to alter New Zealand Engish to a kind of hybrid NZ/Maori. I have no problem with Maori words making it into NZ English so long as the change is organic, Also, Aotearoa instead of New Zealand? Show me where the name Aotearoa appears in the Treaty of Waitangi. I, myself, like the name Aotearoa, I think it's a pretty name but I don't want it rammed down New Zealander's throats.
Which undoubtedly won’t translate into Victoria University It will mean something ridiculous like ‘the fountain of light and knowledge where Maui fished from his great boat’
Just before One News comes on after The Chase. I make a beeline to turn over to Sky 123 MTV 80’s play it loud! Any song from the 80’s is better than listening to those hand wringers.
I watch and read MSM for the weather (eg Dan Corbett on TVNZ is bloody good and his Te Reo is dreadful so he tries not to use it) and some sport, and maybe if there is a natural disaster. Thats ALL I listen to The Platform and Rebel News
Sports is woke and even my beloved rugby is a two tier woke bloody nonsense. Natural disasters are all woke climate change, its all dead to me. If taupo blows up I'll see it on the horizon thanks.
I refuse to sit in front of TV or at my desk reading NZ Herald or Stuff with a bloody dictionary in my hand. The News as its disseminated by the so called mainstream venues, is predominantly an excuse for editorial opinion in a poor disguise, or a lesson in a language I have no interest in learning at my age. Even the weather was a choice of a demonstration of a weird ballet or another annoying lesson in identifying the locations on the map, with what the presenter was saying. I get a fantastic weather report from Phil Duncan, no dictionary required, just the facts. If anything of note occurs during the day, ZB radio lets me know quite promptly and from there a quick google search usually provides more detail.
I deliberately go to the Platform for News ……..Don’t worry Sean, you aren’t mainstream because objective journalism has disappeared;- Mike Sherman on TVNZ 1 News is full of crap……their questions show bias right from the start! Go the Platform! Thanks Alex for the Information!
I think most people get the bigger macro perspective from other sources. And that's all you really need. Makes it soo much easier to see through the local disinformation. Anyone remember the hype of housing fomo 2021?
Yes, MSM is disgusting and basically toast especially NZ MSM. However, this guy is one of the worst interviewers I have ever heard. Interrupting and ignorant.
the problem with letting the news find us is that TH-cam for example will feed you what u want to hear. Not necessarily an array of non biased global news. Good chat SP - didnt keep butting in, but I spose he was preaching your song somewhat.
During a renovation we found a complete y2k nz herald the quality and content of this newspaper compared to the low quality heavily opinion based publication nowadays was staggering no aotearoa back then too
Typical example, Monday and last night One News, they spent 15mins talked about National party polls sink and tell everyone National is out of touch, spend 5 mins to talk about Chris Hipkins is still favouriable as a PM... National is not favouite to me, however, Onenews is definitely missing a context here and bias on Labour party side
I haven't watched TV1, 2 or 3 news for about 5 yrs now. I found it racist, feminist, opinion based rather than fact based, Auckland focused and generally left wing. I get my news from Sky Australia and the BBC (carefully filtering out the left wing crap).
‘Dr’ in what? Don’t remember him ever being a practicing journalist. And he seeks to train journalists? Sounds like one of those evangelist preachers or Islam mullahs - all idiology and little else of substance turning students into activist journalists.
1200 people is such a small pool you cant just inflate those numbers and say its across the country....? with the internet we are now able to get news from overseas local media faster then our news providers can bring it out!
I am one of these people who turn of the news.. actually no watching TV anymore. The nieuws is very political left and tv in general has to many commercials. Maybe the platform can start the 6 o’clock news. Your remark about news of the world that was always very minor. They like to show 5 minutes of a donut shop as that is cheap news
I stopped reading newspapers because they had little factual news but lots of odd ideas. I stopped watching tv3 news because they tried to make everything into a comedy. I stopped watching tv1 because they had a very biased view of the world and were not balanced. I now watch TH-cam which is full of brain cell killing content, but careful digging allows me to find some good balanced reports that are not all hype and accusations, such as the platform
I turn of most media news due to the extremely stupid advertising. And to much of it and other than the use of English, in an English speaking country. The news reader has a very poor level of education/ English. The standards are now not adhered to.
The Platform is disliked, avoided, for its whinging and whining tone. It's not the BBC, that's for sure..! Unbiased media..? Unbiased critique of the mainstream media and government..? That's not the perception.
I have a tv for one reason only to view Christian first light channel 206..the news at 6 in NZ is an abomination.. it will be great the days when the over paid fat cats at tvnz are gone from the airwaves..tik tok is where news can be viewed..
Get my news from everywhere except NZ. Tired of the NZ Bullcrap. I am a Kiwi and refuse to be told how to be one.

I didnt think people still watch it here in nz. Tv in general. There is no point really.
During a renovation we found a complete y2k nz herald the quality and content of this newspaper compared to the low quality heavily opinion based publication nowadays was staggering no aotearoa back then too
One news is just a very long weather report and a promoter of decolonisation
NZ MSM is the best source of pisinformation every time.
Only mainstream media
PS: (FACT) !
blackrock,vanguard,statestreet will tell you the news they want you to know not the truth by any stretch
"cos the news comes to me".. Ie algorithm driven... Lol. Tells you what you want to hear.
Typical example, Monday and last night One News, they spent 15mins talked about National party polls sink and tell everyone National is out of touch, spend 5 mins to talk about Chris Hipkins is still favouriable as a PM...
National is not favouite to me, however, Onenews is definitely missing a context here and bias on Labour party side
I haven't watched TV1, 2 or 3 news for about 5 yrs now.
I found it racist, feminist, opinion based rather than fact based, Auckland focused and generally left wing.
I get my news from Sky Australia and the BBC (carefully filtering out the left wing crap).
Dr Alex is clearly lying
Alex doesn't deserve the Dr title. Alex you are a total woke joke.
‘Dr’ in what? Don’t remember him ever being a practicing journalist. And he seeks to train journalists? Sounds like one of those evangelist preachers or Islam mullahs - all idiology and little else of substance turning students into activist journalists.
Sounds like ignorance and envy from this Cat198
😂 we don’t trust you, I wonder why 🤣
1200 people is such a small pool you cant just inflate those numbers and say its across the country....? with the internet we are now able to get news from overseas local media faster then our news providers can bring it out!
No apostrophe in overseas. Cannot take you seriously unless you get this right.
@@1unsung971 ok grammar police!
What were you drinking on this clip Sean? You looked and behaved two thirds pissed.
The interviewer has idea of research or is being deliberately obstructive.
I am one of these people who turn of the news.. actually no watching TV anymore. The nieuws is very political left and tv in general has to many commercials. Maybe the platform can start the 6 o’clock news. Your remark about news of the world that was always very minor. They like to show 5 minutes of a donut shop as that is cheap news
I stopped reading newspapers because they had little factual news but lots of odd ideas. I stopped watching tv3 news because they tried to make everything into a comedy. I stopped watching tv1 because they had a very biased view of the world and were not balanced. I now watch TH-cam which is full of brain cell killing content, but careful digging allows me to find some good balanced reports that are not all hype and accusations, such as the platform
Local papers are good. Good community content. 6 o'clock news not so much.
I turn of most media news due to the extremely stupid advertising. And to much of it and other than the use of English, in an English speaking country. The news reader has a very poor level of education/ English. The standards are now not adhered to.
The Platform is disliked, avoided, for its whinging and whining tone. It's not the BBC, that's for sure..! Unbiased media..? Unbiased critique of the mainstream media and government..? That's not the perception.
You are complicit in dumbing down the news, sean mannity.
I have a tv for one reason only to view Christian first light channel 206..the news at 6 in NZ is an abomination.. it will be great the days when the over paid fat cats at tvnz are gone from the airwaves..tik tok is where news can be viewed..
But kiwis embrace fake news😂
Nice one mate! Bravo!
