    Ideologically driven interference in media is terrible. It doesn’t matter which side of the isle they come from.

    Well, the company is dying apparently. Good luck to him, lol. NZ Herald seems to have some fairly interesting premium articles from time-to-time, but most of their articles are about finance, business and investment. Not very interesting for me. If they made a newspaper or digital subscription for poor people I’d be more interested, but not if they dumb down language and assume everyone is a dolt.

    Who listens to Newstalk ZB and reads NZ Herald? Nobody my age.

      The idea is not to make a profit. The idea is to control the narrative in the country. Elon didn’t buy twitter to make money, he bought it to gain control over countries and it worked.
