Meanwhile, here's an assessment of why the MSM has lost credibility with most NZers and the woke left journos will continue to bleed until they are no more :

Kiwis Don’t Use MSM for News

The headline to this article will probably surprise very few. For quite some time now the news media in this country have decided that they are not interested in providing or presenting news in a way that is digestible for the majority of Kiwis. Their aim is to polarise the news, and therefore their potential audiences, to the maximum. In doing so they are portraying themselves as ‘holier than thou’ and ignoring their audiences’ wants or needs. They are in fact operating as a self-serving lawless cabal putting themselves above everyone else.

This might suit their own objectives but has the opposite effect on their employers, particularly since they are a commercial entity. These journalists, indoctrinated with left-wing philosophy, presumably at their place of learning, are their own worst enemies. They use their platform to push their narrative to a population that doesn’t want to hear it. The outcome is now apparent. Their own words are the cause of their demise.

Newshub is the first casualty but probably won’t be the last.

I for one no longer follow the MSM as it’s staffed by institutionalised woke pearl clutching children. It no longer reports the news rather all but outright BS and misquotes. That said, sure the trend is for people to read news that satisfies and reinforces their own beliefs and political skew.

Garbage.

Where’s your proof that there are more 1st home buyers? Property sale numbers are down so their %tage are up - that’s all.

Here are Labour’s disgraceful track record on housing and property :

1. State housing waiting list are up over 300% since Labour took office in 2017,

2. Rents are at record highs

3. $1m a day is spent on emergency accommodation (motels and rooms)

and

4. 250% more families and children sleeping in cars and tents.

As for your prediction of house price increases, you must have been living in Clueless Cindy’s Cuckooland not to notice what happened under Ardern’s housing & property policies!

Thanks for answering your own question.
More FHB buying than previously compared to investors.

Yes, house prices went up under Labour (though they stabilised more recently due to policy and interest rates) and will go up again under the coalition policies so they aren't fixing anything.

Yawn, Best just ignore the woke left i'm thinking.

And the woke right have the answers?
Going backwards under the coalition.
National is good with numbers? LL policy costing $800m more than expected, ECE policy to help 30k less families and cost $250m less because they got their numbers wrong.

Rounding difference compared to Labour’s monumental screw-ups.

Try 100,000 Kiwibuild homes for starters.

Then, 16,000 more civil servants to create more chaos and inefficiencies.

Most transparent government, ever!

So how should the “mainstream” media tailor their news items to the wants and needs of “the majority” of kiwis. How should they make it more digestible?

It is difficult in this day and age of multi-platform “news” sources, where trendy folk with strong opinions are treated as news sources and commentators on the same level as peer-reviewed experienced qualified experts. The most entertaining source that resonates with our particular prejudice is the one we want to watch?

News are news vs opinion pieces are not news imo - as long as they are properly and clearly classified as such. Readers can then assess for themselves what they want to read and what to get from reading.

Still not a good look for a pair who said that they 'know numbers' and that their numbers are 'rock solid'.
They seem a bit squishy to me.

Nobody else cares save those who were happy to close both eyes to Labour’s monumental screw ups.
