Yet another sleazy story from 3's schadenfreude specialist, Kate Lynch. Poor girl; dragged through the top of the 6 o'clock news over a possession charge, just because her step-father is allegedly famous, or because she was on Deal Or No Deal,…

Deal Or No Deal footage leads 3 News tonight

righto then.
so it's not the pornographers that are bad, it's the people who consume the porn that the pornographers provide…

However, the point is that there was no news angle in that confrontation. It was psychodrama-for-real, staged for our viewing pleasure.

I don't blame the people who broadcast…

And how. He was way, way over the top tonight.

Memo to Duncan: It's not your job, but Kathryn Rich's, to tell us Maharey is smarmy. You then report what she (or any other politico)…

Lee – take a wee bow we have banned the bomb – at least here. Depleted Uranium and sub-nuclear weapons are thew new front.

For me what is…

Which do you think was his better photo? There is the obvious answer and then there is the answer that discusses what this juxtaposition says about our current culture.

And then she placed her hand on my knee

This is the sound of me rolling my eyes at a muppet.

To use a sports for an example, the best thing to do when watching live sport is to turn on the TV, turn off the sound and replace it with the radio commentary of your choice.

The great thing about doing this is that you can hear a cracking shot…

*Sports is not that important really.

Radio for speed and initial reactions. TV for pictures. Newspapers for detail. Internet for opinion.

That old fashioned term that meant reporters studied their subject and knew what they were talking about.

You want to know what happens in the world every day you have the telly, the papers, the radio, the internet – all complementary surely?

Simple really

Radio for speed and initial reactions. TV for pictures. Newspapers for detail. Internet for opinion.

Point taken – consistency is the c-word that does seem more unacceptable around board tables than any other. I'll conceed I don't watch enough to judge her performance – just laugh and snigger from a distance.

I'll either be a successful media entrepreneur or a very bitter freelance journalist.

Ah yes, winning awards is nice ... but somehow the mind always drifts to "but it would be nice to be paid too"

Good old Lauwaly is now the science/tech reporter & she still claims ignorance on the subject

Health actually, but don't let the facts get in the way.

And she's been that for quite a while, IIRC. I'd be much more inclined to applaud that than mock. One of of the great…

When you say "start" there seems to be some sort of implication that she went somewhere. Isn't she the host of Family Health Diaries?

well family heath diary is…

I was a little disappointed to see TV3 waste seven minutes…

Damian
At the time I was the tgt market – & I was attacking their lack of style. TVNZ infamously celebrated Lauwalys continued ignorance in their look/laugh…

Does he think he’s a boxing commentator or something?

I tried filling this void with BBC/Sky News/CNN/Fox(lol), but that didn't work…

MPs used as live SAS targets

I'd be happy for NZ on Air to shell out a few hundred thousand so we could see how many of 120 shat themselves as live rounds started heading past the head.<>
Kyle you rock, lets…

Look, I agree. For media hungry people like I assume most PAS readers are, the 6pm bulletin from any channel is not going to…

Anyone remeber Marcus Lush, Lauwaly Mason & Simon Dallow on their happening TV News show? I swear I could see the string moving & the hand up their backsides – It was the best comedy…

interesting the OZ version of the show has family and friend holding the boxes – it's boring
the US version has Robert palmer girls and some crazy guy who was once in St Elsewhere.

It's not just my news I get from England. Game shows too. There's nothing showing on…

For local news, I don't know where to go

Radio New Zealand. PAS and sometimes Scoop.
You're right, local TV news is not up to it.
Maybe in the wild new world of on-line content we'll get a new model- maybe a loose conglomeration of scoop/RB style/independent journos putting out/posting…

I regularly watch both 1 and 3 news (I think generally they're both very good and we are well served) but Prime News really is the poor cousin.

IMHO,
I regularly watch both 1 and 3 news. Here's my take: 3news has gotten more and more sloppy – Duncan Garner…

but really maybe one of those girls will become NZs next jude dobson, didn't she start as a game show girl?

So sure, if we're…

snotty, condescending

Decadent and depraved has a much better ring to it.

Don't hold back.

One thing life – and a good cleavage – taught me early was males of almost any age just can't drag their eyes up

I once explained to a friend that her outfit was making me feel very impolite because it rather drew my eyes away from her face when…

It's snotty, condescending

Pot to kettle, come in, over.

Now that Seinfeld has started at 6PM on TV2 though, we're thinking we might try Prime news…

What's the problem with being snotty and condescending?? Haven't most of the world's great civilisations been based on exactly that?

Oh, FFS... isn't all this "George Dubya make newkular out of nuclear" bullshit about eight years past its use-by date? It's snotty, condescending – and most of all, don't Kiwis love getting really pissy when we're on the receiving end of that kind of condescension from the likes of…

Speaking of seeing the logs, we managed to get our hands on the TV3 logs from the switchboard since the show aired and can only find 7 complaints in total about the dresses. There was one person who even called in to say thanks.

Wow. So it's a totally manufactured…

Dear Amanda Beard is just inbracing the Olympic Traditions of Nude Sport – reinvented for the age of feminisim.

Bless her

The success and the crime of the patriarchy is that the exploited sex class is taught to experience pleasure from their exploitation without learning its name.

Ah, this would explain why multi Olympic medal winner (and about to compete in Bejing too) Amanda Beard was on Letterman the other night…

From the man who brought you Good Bastards Beer (I see no reason to…

One thing life – and a good cleavage – taught me early was males of almost any age just can't drag their eyes up often enough to hide their leering. Its funny.

a)It's hysterical.

b)It's not just males.

I don't reckon they feel exploited. They are more likely taking cameraphone pics of themselves on the giant billboards around town and marvelling at how awesome they look.

That is merely because they suffer from false consciousness. The success and the crime of the patriarchy is that the exploited sex…

One News' endless promotion of "Dancing Wth The Stars" was more gratutitous, if you ask me. Not sexually so, but in terms of painting promotion as news.

Yes, TV3's been dropping the ball this year in terms of news quality – no doubt…

I have to admit though, I was sitting there thinking 'this is NOT news...but, my word, aren't they magnificent...'

Didn't make me watch the show concerned though. Hell, I'm not a total moron.

Though that's rather like saying if you're going to catch an STD in a knocking shop, crabs are slightly preferable…

How can a news bulletin urge you to stay up until midnight (on TV1) and “wish the boat on”??
