This fiasco of a negotiation process has been made far worse by the pathetic level of analysis the NZ mainstream media have managed to give it. How many times can you tell the Press Gallery that the negotiation deal is just around the corner and for the Press Gallery to glibly believe them? All the mainstream media have done is manufacture the pretence of stability. Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice going into this pandemic and 2020 election – please donate here. If you can’t contribute but want to help, please always feel free to share our blogs on social media.
