| 1464810 | 2019-11-05 02:36:00 | NZ Herald has once again 'un-blocked' NZHerald bypass. Not going to pay to read their 'news'. they are copying from other sources, anyway. |

| 1464811 | 2019-11-05 03:39:00 | Don't bother with the Herald at all for a long time now, plenty of other sources for news. Guess they have to make money somehow (online). |

| 1464812 | 2019-11-05 05:46:00 | Much of the online news has become garbage click bait anyway, with 90% of their content staying up and unchanged for a week at a time (rather than the daily large update you'd expect of a new org). I find the bigger issue is learning what to ignore. I dropped the Herald when they instigated their paywall, and haven't missed it a bit. Stuff is little better wrt copy/paste reporting, and whomever is doing the work seems to have little appreciation of grammar as well. |

| 1464815 | 2019-11-08 01:44:00 | What amuses me about Granny Herald is that they offer you access to what they call Premium Journalism (or something equally risible) on payment of a fee. However, their resident dog whistlers and National cheerleaders, Hosking, Hawkesby, Soper, Du Plessi-Allan, are all free - ergo even the Herald does not consider them to merit the term Premium Journalism! It must have been a terrible dilemma for the Herald owners - do we include our primary dog whistlers in Premium Journalism and thereby mute their National Party propaganda, or do we consider them to be non-Premium and keep them in the view of the non-paying hoi polloi! My heart bleeds for them. So officially then the main "journalists" for the Herald are not premium quality. |
