the only thing missing is the patsy question at the end of the item, when the news anchor in the studio asks a rehearsed question of the raoving reporter to round out the report and to suggest that they too are up with the play…Standard fare for TVNZ news.

and that, children, is why I don’t watch TV news/current affairs. Or any of it, really. Except perhaps for the last 10 overs of a 20/20 match.

Put it away

Also must write the entire story in your office first before driving to a prominent street for five minutes to film yourself reciting it and thus prove you’re in touch with the feeling on the scene, then drive back to the office.

Hilarious. Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe, Screenwipe and Gameswipe series or specials are all worth downloading and watching if you’re a cynic about modern media and entertainment.

I don’t see the point in TVNZ News of all the live crossovers – it’s a huge waste of time. I remember a story recently about the price of gas, or oil or somesuch, and they crossed to a reporter live at…….a gas station. Why?? Can’t they just tell us the facts from the newsroom? I’m sure we don’t need to waste taxpayer money doing a live satellite cross to a gas station where nothing actually happened – it could be a gas station anywhere.

I was just trying to get a review of the Winter Olympics on Prime, but couldn’t stand those boofheads on The Crowd Goes Wild. Complete idiots. I don’t know why they have one of them over in Canada, either.

England has Charlie Brooker who’s witty and funny.
New Zealand has Russell Brown who’s shit.

Just another example of why New Zealand is fucked.
