According to reports in the MSM the Warner-Discovery owned TV3 will cease its news and current affairs broadcasts at the end of June, a move that doesn’t surprise anyone, given the losses these programs generate now for the owners.
It’s both good news and not-so-good news: although, like TV1 News, Newshub has basically functioned as a propaganda arm of the Labour Party for the last 6 years, it did from time to time take the Jacinda government to task over one of its constant untruths, something which TV1 never did. It also presented (non-controversial) items that TV1 didn’t cover.
Maybe if Newshub had set out to challenge rather than parrot Leftist propaganda, it may have generated loyal viewers from National/ACT/NZ First voters who are now the majority, but it’s too late now,
It means that the battle for audiences will intensify on web-based social media.
And good residence to the pack of woke people.
But I still would like to see an automatic bike counter put on the woke cycle bridge, if they ever complete it to count just how many people use this white elephant.
Also just wondered what the 350 odd people will do for a crust. With their lefty leanings, apart from the labour party who probably isnt hiring just now, there wont be too many openings
Sometimes I watch the 5.30pm News on channel four as it usually short and to the point. TV1 and TV3 present leftist Maorified and wokeist views. Time they all got axed as well.
There won’t be openings in the Legacy media, but Public Relations firms will have places for propagandists.
