Newsroom and John Campbell have been like rare gleams of pure platinum in a dank barrel of rotting foxnews-inspired soundbite "nooz" and realiteevy cartoonatonix.<br /><br />Campbell's brilliant breakfast-for-poor-kids episode left many in tears; including life-long tories.<br /><br />Truth from the mouths of the innocent; touching, evocative, inspiring. <br /><br />Newsroom is the dreaded Antifox; slick, dramatic, with intense linguistic elegance and dedication to irrefutable fact. And Jane Fonda.<br /><br />Which is why most of NZ has never heard of Newsroom.<br /><br />And why Dunnokey and natsy ministers have repeatedly refused to appear on Campbo.<br /><br />Repetition of the latter fact - and his courageous committment to principle - is an arrow straight to the powerful chickenhearts, and has put JC on notice. <br /><br />Prediction: either it or he will very soon disappear. And Newsroom will remain invisible.<br /><br />akAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-29794052167005742252012-10-27T17:59:44.843+13:002012-10-27T17:59:44.843+13:00Sparky - dont worry, you still have Campbell, Sain...Sparky - dont worry, you still have Campbell, Sainsbury, Rachel and Duncan on your sideOneTracknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-13347175247833221222012-10-26T22:20:58.206+13:002012-10-26T22:20:58.206+13:00Today on The Panel they are all straining their bu...Today on <i>The Panel</i> they are all straining their butts off about Aucklands rate rises..."why, why, why... Where did all this dept come from?". It appears the Savings Working Group report is forbidden reading or they would have read: "The policy choice that increased immigration – given the number of employers increasingly unable to pay First-World wages to the existing population and all the capital requirements that increasing populations involve .... etc" <br />Which goes to demonstrate that journalists have their own biases and pick and choose what the public "ought" to hear.jhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-86668481196936714402012-10-26T20:16:31.800+13:002012-10-26T20:16:31.800+13:00I note that Radiolive dropped Keith Stewart on Sat...I note that Radiolive dropped Keith Stewart on Sat. nights.
