The Front Page

Nice summary.

Love the 15-18 minutes of a story, gives well rounded views from a variety of experts, some in-house but others that I wouldn’t usually think Herald would showcase. Gives me enough information to have more of an informed discussion on what’s happening in NZ.

So this land was a Maori country she says…… Interesting to know how she defines a country, it is indisputable that the land was inhabited by tribes who, prior to the “ land wars” had no concept of nationhood, no capital city, no legislature, etc etc, pretty much the same as most of Europe before the common era. The current mania for distortion of this land’s history will ultimately be laughed at by generations to come, and Claudia and her kind will have their reputations shredded. Meanwhile us in the real world get on with life, each other and hope this divisive rabble purporting to represent Maori, and these do gooder academics will be moved on asap.

I like the herald’s front page show. The Herald’s staff are knowledgeable and informed. Sometimes the show seems to offer more surface level placarding of hit news items. For example, Damien interviews a herald reporter on their own story. I would prefer it if they got in an expert from the field or a key figure involved in the story. I.E university professor, the major involved, or a representative of a farming body.
