Ken: (*carefully whispered aside*) Dare I say that there is another news on Deutche Welle (Triangle) at 7pm which shows European news that the NZ channels do not? I will leave to you to inform SWMBO if you want.:)

Quite! Another damn good reason to record the news - skip through the ads. What fun!:clap

670887 2008-05-21 09:15:00 Yes I get pissed off when they start the news with 6 people killed in a Sydney boating accident.

This is New Zealand ! It is sad that six young Aussies were killed but it should not be the main new item, with interviews etc etc.

And I also dislike the way that all of a sudden due to petrol price rises we are all going on bikes or buses and they do a story on that. What crap. Who wants to ride a bike in this long spread out hilly country with all the idiots in cars on the roads !

Having a daughter living in Sydney, thereby SWMBO and I spending a bit of time staying there, I can say that the only time you see anything about NZ on their TV is when they have beaten us at sport. If they lose to us - nothing!!!

670889 2008-05-21 11:55:00 What annoys me is how one news now reports on the weather every 5 mins to bulk out their apparant lack of substance... at tvnz, every day is a slow news day! Erayd (23)

Then I guess you prefer the dumb down local brain dead crime , accident news items to international items??
