The Pakeha journalistic viewpoint of the Maori World is more blatant in the The Dominion and The Press, because they just have Pakeha journos. It will always have this journalistic slant in NZ because the mainstream Pakeha reader wants this, need this. It just feels safe. I the minority Pakeha always read, listen, watch journalism & history about another culture from Pakeha Kiwis like myself with a grain of salt.<br /><br />If I want get the Maori journalistic world view, I read, listen, and watch journalism by Maori journos run by entirely Maori- well, not entirely by Maori yet, but it's still young days for your and our people. <br /><br />Anyway, looking forward to your report on the Tai Tokerau byelection win tonight or tomorrow, Godfrey!CrownRetrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035311037190115768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-91703443116297103352011-06-24T17:25:07.527+12:002011-06-24T17:25:07.527+12:00I recently switched to Herald Online from Stuff th...I recently switched to Herald Online from Stuff thinking I would receive unbiased reporting. I was wrong. While it's an improvement on Stuff, the Maori-related headlines in the past week have been shocking.<br /><br />"Hone's dated a pakeha but never a man": A story about Hone not being homosexual. As if that matters.<br /><br />"Maori TV skips selection process": Maori TV quite legally promoting someone to a top position.<br /><br />Where do they find these journos?Miss Whanauhttp://twitter.com/#!/Miss_Whanaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-75806583933036308952011-06-24T12:49:11.154+12:002011-06-24T12:49:11.154+12:00yeah that's right Lilz, who cares about a legi...yeah that's right Lilz, who cares about a legitimate mandate after allthe sprouthttp://thestandard.org.nz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-3334714808892586702011-06-24T07:59:30.502+12:002011-06-24T07:59:30.502+12:00Hone himself doesn't have a very good record o...Hone himself doesn't have a very good record of turning up when he's supposed to. How about the Parliamentary trips overseas, he went walkabout in Northern Territory and didn't go to The Hague, but instead scarpered to Paris. Or how about the time he didn't turn up to a hui with Te Ururoa Flavell, when the mediation talks were being held. Oh yeah, how about forgetting to turn up to vote on the Marine & Coastal Bill. He's got to realise that he has to be careful when he blows his cool at other peoples misfortunes. He blew a huge chance to make a positive impression at that meeting in West Auckland and if he did indeed swear then he should be more careful next time. As for complaining about driving, he was the one that created the by-election in the first place, so he has to look willing to go any place at any time to win votes. Afterall, he is aiming to be an MP that represents all of his electorate not just the Far North.Lilznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-60840012479269746292011-06-23T12:01:53.740+12:002011-06-23T12:01:53.740+12:00My thoughts exactly.

I think you've touched on a good point re supporters been innoculated against media smears.
