Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz

<p>The Guardian here in Australia has been pretty good in terms of actually doing research and publishing more thoughtful work that the two bigger outlets in Fairfax and News Ltd, who just seem to reference HuffPost and other sites nonstop, as well as the fluffy shit about celebrities.</p>

Talk about multi tasking, she's mother of the nation as well.<br><br>
Just to clarify, am I missing something ? she definitely hasn't died aye ?</p></blockquote>
<br>
Just two days ago she was only the mate if the nation , what's behind the upgrade ?<br><br>
I think April 29 should henceforth be Hilary Barry day and every town should erect a statue of her in a central place so we can all gather bow our heads and bask in her magnificence while a soundtrack of her reading from an auto cue plays in the background.<br>
It's probably more appropriate however for her hometown to have a statue like the one in Brazil on a high point overlooking everyone with arms outstretched .<br><br>
It's the least we can do. -

<p>If Judy Bailey hears that some whippersnapper is attempting to usurp her title, there will be hell to pay.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually I would pay to see Bailey vs Barry, the mother of all battles. I'm thinking lightsabres. Maybe nunchucks too.</p> -

<p>The media 'celebs' in NZ are fluffybunnies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Look at the Herald crowing about it all.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Then you have guys like Andrew Mulligan spamming social media with nasty comments about the guy. I think Weldon was seriously stressed by all the bullying and nastiness that was happening to him.</p> -

The "story" about Barry's name was from a David Farrier tweet, he's another one that left tv3. The leftards on stuff comments etc seem to be convinced it's all a plot from national as Weldon is Keys friend ( he may or may not be in reality) . -
<p>"celebrity" is definitely a relative term in NZ. When they did that god awful celebrity treasure island show I had no idea who the ones who weren't ABs or Kiwis actually were. It seems being one of the final contestants on a music talent show and subsequently being on TV for a few weeks is enough for one to be "famous"</p>

<p>The Spinoff is shit</p>

<p>I think the most shocking is that a news reader got her tits out on TV in the 80s, and kept her job. I think that is the least New Zealand thing i have ever read</p>

<p>Why the hell is a sports show retweeting this sort of stuff about Welson after his resignation?</p>

<p>I can see the humour in that. I suppose it is like when I scratch my head when Jon Key does something rather innocuous and there are howls of outrage purely because he has spoken about something</p>
