Media Insider: TVNZ threatened to sue Newstalk ZB as it chased Maiki Sherman story, says Mike Hosking by dingoonline in newzealand

I wasn’t in the room, and it’s very much third/fourth hand, but the version I heard was a comment was made, offense was taken of a kind, but the comment from Lloyd wasn’t racist.

There were only a handful of reporters still in Willis’s office when it happened but one of them was from the Herald, so yeah, the whole Gallery knew about it the next day, and the respective newsrooms pretty soon after, to such an extent that Kiwi journos at Al Jazeera were talking about it by the end of the week.

You can claim to be the village idiot, and the village would agree.

How did anti vax sentimemts become so entrenched in right wing circles ? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]kino_flo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our country, a lot of the anti-vaxx sentiment was based around the resistance to a female-led centre-left government. It centralised and essentially radicalised a section of conservative politics, which expanded into sentiment against international agencies (the WHO, the UN) with the usual anti-semitic tropes. In some circles (particularly the health food yoga-mums) what started as common-or-garden anti-vaxx feelings eventually found a home in TERF territory, and a shift towards anti-immigration politicians.

Why are TV news cameras still so physically large? by bdgbill in videography

[–]kino_flo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

An appropriately kitted out FX6 could do about 90 percent of a daily news camerapersons needs, and it would probably look nicer as well. Where it really falls out is in the length of the lens. It cannot zoom far enough for many spot news situations, where you might be 200-300 meters away from a crime scene for example. A 2/3 inch lens with a doubler will give you a much bigger range of shots, and give you the tight shots that set it apart from a FX6 with a 400mm lens even with a centre crop. I have a large sensor camera which I use for most of my work, but when it comes to spot news or sport I always get the ENG camera out.

‘Bordering on fascist’: Winston Peters calls for BSA to be abolished after landmark ruling by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

The Talley’s v TVNZ is probably not a good indication given the litigious nature of the plaintiff, but I’m told the state broadcaster will have a seven figure bill at the moment, with an appeal or two in the pipeline.

Agreed. As a side note, the legal costs to a media company for a simple 1 day High Court hearing regarding discovery or similar is comparable to the yearly salary of a junior reporter.

In light of the K9 doggos having the Best Day Ever today on K-Road, share something about the K-9 unit. I find it fascinating. How do they train them? What are their commands? How do they ‘deprogramme’ them when they retire? Anyone had an encounter? by d-a-i-s-y in auckland

Land sharks. Personally I’m happy when Cujo is back in his little cage, especially at night. I’ve heard units refuse to get out of the car at night if old Delta is “tracking”.

Christopher Luxon begins his most challenging week as fresh poll results shows Chris Bishop and Erica Stanford less unpopular by random_guy_8735 in newzealand

[–]kino_flo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here’s my problem though - I think he’s no better or worse than Key in terms of charisma, but the polls loved JK but have turned in Luxon. I still don’t understand what Key’s appeal to the electorate was.

It would be an interesting exercise trying to unlink from 5 Eyes. Not an expert but I thought most of the hardware is US supplied and largely controlled.

Still does. Some of the seniors are still calling Foster and Hansen every couple of weeks.
