I don't mind reading a biased report as long as some consideration is given to another point of view but so often 'reporters' today seem to write material that is shallow and seems intended to be clever when in reality it is trite and poorly thought out. Getting the Spectator provides me with a goodly amount of thought provoking materal and the internet the remainder. My wife insists on getting the NZ Herald but I seldom read it as it is so biased.Jigsawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906156865367357834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-54611079621632578942018-11-22T15:13:32.330+13:002018-11-22T15:13:32.330+13:00I concur!

We are witnessing the shutting down of long-time contributors in the Press, my local rag, and the replacements are often of the ilk described above..banging their 'drums', predictable & lacking historical depth or penetrating wisdom, let alone humour or some spark of originality.

Postmodern identity politics have so deeply infected the mainstream media that the newspapers have become little more than left wing broadsheets. I already do not read anything written by certain, biased, single-issue, contributing journalists. Your articles are a terrific counter-balance to all that one-dimensional stuff.khrusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205236386273808326noreply@blogger.com
