Feed: Saints Preserve, in reply to Jolisa,
the soused feijoas you're left with after you drain off the liqueur make for some pretty special breakfasts
spoken like someone who doesn't drive to work

Hard News: Gower Speaks, in reply to Bart Janssen,
is there any reason why they couldn't report actual intervals instead of just simplistic percentages
Easy enough to show on a graph. Most people don't have trouble with a range if it's shown visually.

Hard News: Poll Day 2: Queasy, in reply to Pete George,
So you can’t take historical polls not on election days as indications of possible inaccuracies now.
Because one agency claims to have improved recently does not invalidate a longstanding pattern across all of them. You did actually read Gavin's findings?

Hard News: Poll Day 2: Queasy, in reply to Andrew Robertson,
Thanks, Andrew. Do any of the polling companies publish graphs of their results with error bars?

Didn't universities used to do regular content analysis like that? You know, from their public funding. With their plentiful student-hours.

Is that true that we have laws requiring news journalists to be balanced?
Not any that are enforced.

Hard News: Poll Day 2: Queasy, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
I struggle to see any actual news unless Labour is going to articulate a position or some actual policy
A trend over the last year or so - for tvnz particularly - is for the story intro about an opposition policy to tell us what the PM reckons before we've heard from anyone else. So we know what daddy wants us to think, I guess. It's authoritarianism rather than party bias as such.
It's also deeply unprofessional and if media want legal protections and privileged access to continue they had better start acting like journalists. Ethics, standards, pride, that sort of thing.
On the upside I stumbled across Cunliffe sounding strong and focused on Radio NZ recently, so hopefully McCarten and others are working some magic and we'll get to hear more than one side of the story of what we can choose our future to be.

Hard News: Republished: The CTV collapse…, in reply to Hebe,
Time to think through process was not possible for anyone on the ground.
Quite so - which is why it's drilled into em beforehand. The military seem to manage it.
