A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Blow for democracy be damned. Newshub wrote their own obituary when they, like many others, signed up for Ardern’s funding on the premise that the truth is no longer a requirement for MSM (mainstream media). MSM have been disgraceful in their reporting of the previous govt, as well as the current govt. The public are tiring of being told how and what they must think. They want MSM to simply report the news as they used to, without political favour.  Advertisers, sensing the shift in public sentiment, have fled MSM in great numbers. 
Many more obituaries have been drafted, it now just remains to be seen how many of those will see the light of day.
