Attention Waikato Motorcycle Dealers - Boycott the Waikato Times

[Ender EnZed]

Then why are all media carrying the story about the press council looking at a complaint about the PM fronting a Radio Live show for an hour last week?


If the story is big enough, they'll cover it all right.

It isn't.

Facts, quotes and reasoned argument presented professionally without being rude.

They aren't. Another publication's editorial policy is the other publication's business.

That's not true DB, the Herald would print a story giving the true facts.

[Big Dave]

Broadly speaking, the formula is:
If we give a rival publication column inches will it garner them more readers?
If the answer is yes then they let it slide.
Particularly as this is a trivial matter to a large majority.

It would need something 'sensationalist' to make the cut.

ooops - duplicate post

That's interesting Dave because you've gone from: "They aren't. Another publications editorial policy...." to "Broadly speaking, the formula is....."

When I rang them earlier, they said they would be interested in the story and I didn't mention a possible protest action or anything sensational.

[Big Dave]

There's no contradiction in what I said and I can't be arsed arguing the toss any further.
Good luck with your efforts. Hope it pays off.

Is it just me, or does anybody else think that the way we carry on about being persecuted all the time makes us sound worse than a pack of Jews?

[Big Dave]

Is it just me,

Don't forget that social media isn't the real world. In a balanced outlook anyway.

You'd have to do a lot worse than KB to offend me mate. :-)

...published part of my letter - left out the stats....

Hmm does anyone have a copy of the paper with my letter in that they could scan for me ?

I don't get the damn silly rag, and I would like to know if they edited my letter like they did yours...
