"Throughout the recent turmoil surrounding news media difficulties the Minister for Broadcasting has been silent. She has been criticised for this approach. In my view she should be applauded. Without any State intervention a solution for the problems surrounding Newshub was found – by the industry and the market. That is as it should be. There has been far too much State interference with the media. The Public Interest Journalism fund ... provides an example."
~ A Halfling's View, from his post 'Dealing with State-Owned Media'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
