Regarding the merger of media watchdogs, why have the Advertising Standards Complaints Board not been included? They are an equally self-policing concern and in my experience complaints are hard to get actioned if the defending party is a powerful entity. Ad content should be controlled by a more powerful, independent…

an arrow with 'not really him' might do it :)

hope you get a subtitle in there #notreallyhim

I talked to Jose about it tonight. We need to note it somehow.

He may have shortcomings in the ethics department, but at least he has a great name...

Brian Edwards and Cameron Slater sparring was entertaining to behold at the filming.

Whether there are any absolute ethics or only relative ones that are somehow the privince of yoof like Marshall as argued by Herkt and Slater wasn't prperly grappled with. Must read the LawCom report. Be nice humans.

can I point out that “onetime” drummer possibly indicates that Barker was part of the original Split Enz line up. He actually only drummed in their latest reunion tour in 2008 (although worked with Neil and Tim Finn separately). He was never part of the band during their active years…

I have to agree with this. I'm not a fan of Marshall's approach, and the embedded piece from the ABC showed a level of behaviour by Marshall that was frankly disgusting, but there is a level to which we can sometimes justify some level of dubious behaviour in the furtherance…

Slightly OT, but still related to journalistic fuckery… Newbie journo Narelle Henson drives various wedges in the Waikato Times. And fails to disclose her interests. Which is tantamount to entryism. Frank Macskasy calls bullshit on TDB.

Not because of relevance to the discussion, but because I think some people who post here might care, (and because I choked on my coffee when I read it) can I point out that "onetime" drummer possibly indicates that Barker was part of the original Split Enz line up. He…

but there is a level to which we can sometimes justify some level of dubious behaviour in the furtherance of a greater good.

The Alan Jones story is a good example. There was outrage on the right that he'd signed a form declaring his interest in becoming a Young Liberal,…

The cynic in me would suggest the online version , after all these years, might have been adjusted to remove any stain on the reporters credibility.
Does the library copy of the printed version match ?

That would be an intriguing investigation ?

May be but my reading of the case suggests it did allow the prosecution make its case when the defence claimed the young people were lying about the teacher supplying them with P

Did it? From the NZHerald article from 2004, the defence were claiming that nothing on the tape…

Reporters, the real dirt-diggers, can be very unorthodox people. That unorthodoxy is sometimes how they get results.

I have to agree with this. I'm not a fan of Marshall's approach, and the embedded piece from the ABC showed a level of behaviour by Marshall that was frankly disgusting, but there…

ASYLUM seekers in Indonesia have swung into party mode and labelled Julia Gillard a "hero" after learning they will receive welfare payments and rent assistance should they make it to Australia by boat.

You can guess what the angle is for that story...

Possibly Marshall should go on OE – that kind of journalism and 'eccentricity' is much more tolerated in the UK tabloids, for instance.

(One of the Sun's leading journalists brutally murdered his entire family* and was reinstated on his release).
