Public discourse

Adam from Westmere

Our leaders are elected by us to govern over a term.
and not for what they did last Tuesday. or didn't do on next Wednesday.

and not for what they did last Tuesday. or didn't do on next Wednesday.
The way in which dissenting opinions to any governing body are couched post-covid in New Zealand has become increasingly belligerent, aggressive and toxic.
All helped in great part by those drongo's in the media, especially radio and primetime news seeking salacious and sensational headlines. The mainstream media is feeding topics to social media who are in turn feeding the mainstream media's editorial focus.
I don't care what the polls or the radio hosts say about our Mayor today, but it has spawned a lot of vitriol on social media et al and will continue to build resentment in the aggrieved. Our mainstream media needs to stop creating news that generates dissent and disharmony in the community.
Because none of this shit will unelect the Mayor no matter how many polls and calls to action there are. I think this amplification will make the job of running Auckland a lot harder for him.
And most importantly Why? Why does thinly populated New Zealand need such an aggressive media? Yes holding a government to account for it's policies and actions is the Media's job. But It can be done with civility and result in a better informed electorate at the ballot box, which is also the media's job.
