Newsroom IS good, but I despair when they repeatedly publish pieces by Peter Dunne (he wasn’t relevant even when he was in parliament) and Eric Crampton from NZ Initiative. That is not providing balance it’s giving the enemy a free shot…

I didn't know that - I will take a closer look. I assume it's for "balance".

Balance is good especially when NZME is so dominant. Some kowtowing to whatever administration is in office must be expected

So there’s no hope for a public broadcaster? None of our b/millionaires want to donate to truly public broadcasting?

I lived in america for seven years and got to love PBS for news, analysis and music. Returning to “public broadcasting” here was, and is, very disappointing.

I will spend more time with Newsroom, thanks for the recommendation.

RNZ is not bad. Newsroom just offers more investigative, deep dive takes more frequently. But on balance, RNZ is reasonable too. Thanks for your readership, Bill.
