The Hard News theory

Someone once told me that they had a theory with Russell’s Hard News. He said it was the most reliable barometer to how well Labour is going.

If Labour is going really well he will mention political stuff several times in each post. And if they are not, then he will talk only music, overseas politics and ignore NZ politics.

Now I thought this theory was over simplified. But a check of Hard News finds that over the entire month of June there has been only two small reference to NZ politics – the obligatory strike at Fay & Richwhite and the Dietary Supplements regulatory debate.

So maybe there’s something to that theory after all?
