| 1355414 | 2013-10-08 20:53:00 | Anyone notice last night's late edition TV One news the opening comment about storm damage in the "posh" suburb of Devonport? Totally unnecessary and unwarranted comment. Does TV One have a list of "posh", "middle-class" and "lower-class" suburbs to be used in news reports? | coldot (6847) | ||

| 1355418 | 2013-10-08 21:42:00 | Given the cumulative effects of NZ's inter-generational brain drain, we should probably be grateful that our news is intelligible and delivered by someone who is not actively drooling down their front. ;) |

| 1355419 | 2013-10-08 21:48:00 | Well for years, the TV and radio news and current affairs presenters have called their programs "shows", reminiscent of a show at the end of a pier, or 'The Billy Cotton Band Show', or The Black and White Minstrel Show, so what else can one expect ? :) | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

| 1355421 | 2013-10-08 22:14:00 | Well hardly extreme bias, it's not like they said "serves them right the snobby bastards" and we got the relevant points , what & where - storm damage, devonport. The rest is mainly fluff anyway. I'd call it a slight bias, or an uneeded description. As to bias, everyone is, you me, the news, everyone. Even making a deliberate attempt to be fair and unbiased is in itself a little biased. We can't help it, it's human nature to value our own opinions and beliefs more than those of most other people. |

| 1355422 | 2013-10-09 02:55:00 | Not all of it. ;) Bit like our Eastern suburb, used to be middle class and predominately Anglo/European make-up. What's left after the latest Census exodus would be interesting to see. Lurking. |
