| 581524 | 2007-08-16 06:39:00 | Can anyone tell me why One Auckland News finds a loan shark at the casino worthy of the lead story about three days in a row. Maybe it justified two minutes on Close Up - but otherwise I have no idea why they think it is newsworthy. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||

Maybe it justified two minutes on Close Up - but otherwise I have no idea why they think it is newsworthy. Because all the news comes from Auckland or so they would have us believe. Flat earth comes to mind |

| 581529 | 2007-08-16 08:46:00 | I have noticed many times both one & 3News channels get hard up for good news stories at times. They start repeating the same News story over several days or they drag up non intresting and not really news worthy stories. One of the biggest things they do is use Sport news as News headlines only to repeat the exact same story in the Sporting News. Thats one good thing about Prime News, 30min they don't have to fill it up with crap to make up the time. |

If I do not get home at 5:30PM then I try channel3. Other times I use www.nzcity.co.nz Or PressF1 even. :-) Or BBC, CNN etcetera. Being as Beetle is running out of "dots" I will donate a few periods or full stops. Some periods apply to women only. Some apply to the Moon. Some apply in other ways. Here Beetle.

| 581532 | 2007-08-16 13:04:00 | I usually just watch the French news (6-6.30) and then German news (7-7.40?) and that gives me my quick fix of news. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 581533 | 2007-08-17 01:55:00 | The Casino loan shark story was an old-school journalistic scoop for TV One. I don't blame them for pushing it hard. News-time advertising is the most expensive time they can sell, too, and it pays for the cost of running a newsroom. Not only that, but good investigative journalism is in short supply in NZ. | Deane F (8204) | ||
