<p>as I said, just high lights the state of NZ media when some thing like that is news worthy as a main head line above all the bachelor articles, <strong>what Jessica Alba is feeding her kid etc.</strong></p>

<p>Not sure if NZH operates like google in terms of clicks.</p>

Stuff is reaching peak fuckwit I think. Check out all the articles this weekend about her linked in the one<br>

They've also labelled her a legend , icon and mate of the nation.<br><br>
She read an auto cue for a living ffs, this is just pathetic . -
She is popular, they are populist. <br><br>
I agree about it being rubbish but for some reason you insist on reading this crap then carrying on about it. Does someone forcibly hold you in front of a computer and force things on you that you don't like?<br><br>
Talk about the permanently outraged... -

<p>The only one I read was the one that said she was going head to head with Henry, then I saw the other links to all the articles about her . It was about six or something, for a newsreader. I'm not sure it actually raised my blood pressure or anything but it seems pretty strange that someone who is still alive and merely changing jobs gets this much attention.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for permanently outraged , pretty much everyone here is in a start of permanent outrage about something they care enough to post about but don't give enough of a fuck to actually do anything about. Have a look at the prince thread if you don't believe me.</p> -
<p>Barry was a newsreader. Nothing more. Not one single piece of serious journalism has come from her. She may have been a good newsreader, as far as that goes. But the way she is getting pumped up is silly.</p>

Oddly enough it seems like stuff is the one going overboard and the herald is treating it as just another story. -

<p>It's a small circle in NZ and most folk in the media know each other. Is it any wonder there is fluffing?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is easily ignorable.</p> -

Yep , but this is a thread about how crap stuff is so it seems like a good place to talk about how ott the coverage is . If she had died I could understand it , tv3 has shed loads of experienced staff over the past couple of years so it's not exactly a huge shock for them to lose another one . -
<p>heard one fella yesterday saying she was the last of a big bunch at TV3 so is some kind of changing of the guard kinda thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I cant recall ever actually watching her, never watched TV3 news or any of thier current affairs type stuff either</p> -

<p>If you read between the lines though there is a growing bunch of disaffected ex media works employees (and their friends) ready and willing to have a snipe at the organisation. My guess is that is what this coverage is trying to do.</p>
<p>I think it is well beyond proof that Stuff is lightweight fluff with barely the touch of an editor let alone anyone with journalistic credibility.</p>
<p>If I open the site or app I go in fully aware of that and am ready to skip past many headlines.</p>
<p>Be honest though Jegga, you showed your true colours in another thread on Hilary Barry and only BSG chipped in to agree with you so you are having another dig here. Apparently she deserves your scorn because she has ideals left of centre and of course anyone like that gets lumped in with the far left in your eyes. As for your comment about her and Mandela do you really think she called the shots on that one? Pretty good for a mere auto cue reader to control the news purse strings like that don't you agree?</p> -
