"Of course the media will talk about John Key more, he is our PM - get used to it!"This is very bad reasoning. The people in power should have more opportunity to speak the media because they are in power?"you are just the typical bigot blaming the media"You can't be bigoted against the media. Do you know what the word means?And when a reporter goes around asking people "should the party with the most votes be the government" (given our MMP system) it's really hard to deny bias. Also the media isn't questioning the figure of $9 billion worth of stimulus when most of that $9 billion is spending that was going to occur anyway regardless of the recession. The Nats are accelerating spending but they're not increasing it by much despite all the spin.It's also barely reported that the poorer half of the country had a tax cut taken off them by the Nats so the richer half could have a bigger one. The tax cuts on the first of April are going to look like an April fools joke to all the people who are giving up tax cuts for people better off than them.Maybe National's just better at handling the media than Labour, but if that's the case it's a bad sign that the media is just taking what they say at face value. It's not their fault, though - journalists are losing jobs because people are getting their news for free online. So they've got fewer resources which will obviously lead to over reliance on press releases and PR.
My goodness Deane, you love a good rant about nothing. Phil Goff is not really that liked and in my opinion not suited to be the Labour leader. Perhaps if he had something more interesting to say the media might have more to do with him. Of course the media will talk about John Key more, he is our PM - get used to it!P.S. your spelling is atrocious.
you also miss deane all the stories run over xmas with goff in them, oh no, you didn't miss them, you are just the typical bigot blaming the media
