<p>Yeah it's starting to come to that by the looks</p> -

<p> </p>

<p>not to sports...well not that I saw anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did say I wasn't sure of the news (which is subjective these days anyway) aspect.</p> -
Your description if Stuff also sums up NZHerald.co.nz.<br><br>
Sad and disappointing. -
<p>I don't know of any good NZ news sites. As booboo says NZHerald is exactly the same as stuff but with different formatting. NZ journalism is at an all time low.</p>
-
<p>Everymorning when I come into work, I screen the below websites in the following order</p>
<p> </p>
<p>NZ Herald</p>
<p>Stuff</p>
<p>BBC News</p>
<p>BBC Sport</p>
<p>Sydney Morning Herald</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Far and away for me, the best site is the last one. </p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Nailed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it's actually worse than stuff.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I read an article from there recently that was mocking other so-called news websites for the amount of trash that they were peddling. There were four articles about the Bachelor on the front page alone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In terms of sports the cricket stuff and the occasional article from Sumo Stevenson is worthwhile but otherwise it is still fairly bland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This article this morning for instance:</p>

<p>What exactly is the point of it, apart from pissing in our pockets?</p> -
<p>I actually don't mind bbc, there are normally a couple of good in depth articles and they don't have comments so the ferals don't get their chance to urinate on everything.</p>
<p>Haven't actually though about Sydney Morning Herald, might have to do for now</p> -

<p>The biggest difference is you'll note that it has a much higher percentage of positive stories. NZ herald is just about all negative.</p> -
<p>when you consider the tripe that NZH and Stuff serve up from Twattue and Treason, maybe it is the angle these media outlets are looking from...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will open both pages and look over the headlines for one that catches my interest, but as others point out, mainly negative or social media rubbish...sadly there is far too much of that out there today</p> -

<p>Looks like they have fixed it now, next time screen-shot that brilliance</p> -

<p>You know BSG posts here right? So perfection is expected.</p>
