More lies from the Blubber stencher, Unbalanced, gotta admire his consistency though ehh, lol.

You accusing the Left leaning NZH of publishing Lies now too ?

[Balance]

Over the past four years the sign-up of media outlets to receive $55 million of public funding through the Public Interest Journalism Fund has cemented that mistrust from the public for obvious reasons – most of which, it seems, is lost on the very media outlets that received those funds.


It is a plain fact that for media organisations to be eligible for funding they had to sign up to certain criteria and conditions – including forcing certain narratives of the Labour government at the time. …


One of those conditions is based on a purely political view that is not supported by many New Zealanders or many political parties. It states that the media organisation must “actively promote the principles of partnership, participation and active protection under Te Tiriti o Waitangi acknowledging Māori as a Te Tiriti partner”. And have a “commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to Māori as a Te Tiriti partner”.


If they didn't sign up to this condition, they wouldn't get the money.


How can a politically neutral and independent media organisation give balanced political commentary, analysis and in particular “opinions”, when this is the basis for the funds they receive for their very survival?


This is the sinister incentivised seed that provides the platform for political bias.


It is a preposterous state of self-denial when they cannot see that the contract they signed is a recipe for bias and corruption.


It has created a media environment where certain leftwing political narratives and agendas have seeped into much of what the media presents to the public – where any opposing views are shutdown, cancelled and labelled as “far right” or “fringe”.

Let's face it Balance, you don't want balance at all, you want any left leaning journalist sacked & just have one right leaning media.
I'm fact that seems to be what a lot of people seem to want on here.

That is not a functioning democracy.
I wish we were back in the days where journalists just reported the news rather than wrote opinion pieces as is common place now.
However we are a long way from that on both sides of the politically motivated media.

Back in the day TVNZ was all Government funded. TV1 didn't have advertising. The ABC in Australia & SBS didn't have advertising when I was living there.

In some ways the withdrawal of Government funding has been journalist's downfall as they have had to pander to advertising revenues and what is populist or another words garbage rather than serious journalism.

Government funding with conditions like promoting a left wing divisive racist agenda? Thank you very much - you can keep the Ardern style government funding and stick it up Hipkins arse.

The woke leftist media & its personnel are reaping what they sowed - mistrust and disdain (actually disgust) at their hypocrisy and lack of integrity & moral bearings.

Nothing to do with me wanting them all sacked etc - the public has voted with their ratings and that’s why the woke leftist media are failing.

And good riddance to garbage indeed - Newshub last week, TVNZ today, RNZ tomorrow and so on & so forth. Arse-kissing and arse-licking media - disgusting to say the least.

Premier house was good enough for him to stay at for his christmas holidays.

Any excuse for the "entitlement mentality" he holds. The same man who took a limo to cross the street.

Reaping what the wokew leftist media sowed in the last 6 years :

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ASX6AB47C7KR4/

Up to 68 roles at TVNZ will be cut to ensure the company “remains sustainable”, the state broadcaster has announced today.

TVNZ’s news boss Phil O’Sullivan has told staff in an internal email the proposed cuts are “devastating”.

In a statement, TVNZ chief executive Jodi O’Donnell said tough economic conditions and structural challenges within the media sector were affecting revenue performance.

Difficult choices needed to be made “to ensure TVNZ remains sustainable”.

The statement says the cuts are across “all business areas” but Media Insider understands there is a heavy focus on news and current affairs, where at least 35 jobs could go.

It is understood several of TVNZ’s top news shows are in the spotlight, with earlier reports the likes of the 6pm news could be cut back to half an hour.

Get over it Panda. Calling it entitlement is only exposing your envy for Luxons personal success.

[Panda-NZ-]

It's our money he's doing it with though (esp when he has plenty of tax free personal investments).

Not counting his $4m salary at state-owned air NZ.

Ajenda Lynch-mob continuing to show why people distrust MSM. Luxon spends a couple of nights at Premier House at a time when no reno work would have been going on. (Christmas). The sooner Lynch departs "news" the better. Labour routinely squandered tens of millions on projects that didn't proceed. MSM take tens of millions of bribes from Ardern. Nothing untoward they say (except the ones who had the moral fibre not to take it.) Luxon takes a 52k allowance to which he is entitled by rules he didn't implement and Ajenda does her rag. Pathetic.

[Blue Skies]

Get over it Panda. Calling it entitlement is only exposing your envy for Luxons personal success.

I can tell you, most wealthy successful people think Luxon embarrassed & humiliated himself claiming an accomodation allowance.
For goodness sake, what other Prime Minister or leader of a country, who also happens to be a High wealth individual, goes about claiming an "accomodation allowance" to live in his own home, & then pleads he's "entitled to it" !
It's embarrassing, undignified, makes him look mean, self entitled & small minded.
And its astonishing his minders didn't advise him not to, unless they did & he ignored them.

He's supposed to be the Prime Minister, not some grasping little backbencher looking for every taxpayer perk he can get his mitts on.
Not one PM in the last 35 years has claimed it until Chris Luxon.

"Im entitled, entitled" he kept repeating & then terrible choice of words for a PM, dismissively labels $52,000 "becoming a distraction," in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
