This thread ties in nicely with Russell's (and others) ongoing frustrations with the state of journalism in NZ.
Whether it be the broadsheets, so-called current affairs or the 6pm "news" offerings, it's obvious that there is a growing feeling of discontent being expressed both outside and inside the journalism sphere.
I'd love to see this translated into a concerted and ongoing effort to put real heat on those responsible by pointedly asking those responsible WTF?

The Lessig endorsement, I confess, did make me sit up and take notice.
Having just watched it - and being impressed with the methodology of his comparison - it made me think how useful it could be to see a similar effort made to compare Key and Clark in the lead-up to the election.
Also...I guess the most depressing thing I am reflecting on from watching that - and from following the US race unfold - is that we have no-one in our own political leadership ranks who has the ability to inspire us to forge fundamental changes in our domestic and foreign policy that would priortise peace and justice over growth and profit. We just play follow the leader and try not to rock the boat...
Having said that, I always feel better after listening to Jeanette Fitzsimons...thanks Aunty J.
