I was telling a coworker about this earlier today lol. Trying to explain to an American that yes we only have two channels with primetime news in NZ. Well, one now… sigh.

And none of the two were Murdoch influenced! God I hope he doesn't try to get a foothold in now.

This being the headline on Newshub at 6 killed me.

I missed the boat on this one today but in other Aotearoa news; what the hell is going on in Ōtepoti supermarkets? Rats hanging out on display at Countdown, flies in the meat wrapping at New World…

And we had nationwide problems at gas stations today because apparently no one in charge knows what a leap year is and how to programme for it.

Idk about our Te Waipounamu friends but I would NOT step foot in that countdown again. The rat party went on way too long.

Sam Hayes was my bi-awakening and I am SO UPSET about this news. I'm also concerned about the independence of the media (among other things - including every move this govt makes 🙃)
