>>but Americas MSM is just bloody awful,
Few web sites have done more to pick apart the awfulness that is the American MSM, than Free Republic. We are already painfully aware of the fact that you pointed out.

I, too, am well aware of the Free Republic’s public services as it pertains to showing the MSM up for what it is.
I guess I reacted to the NZ Media as being described as “over the top” by way of comparison. As I’ve said the standards here are “no-scream-in-Hell”, but our Journalists have a wee distance to travel before they meet the excesses of the American MSM.
Call it “inexperience” amongst our Journalists if you will: an American viewer would find our TV news quaint and refreshingly naive by way of comparison with, say, ABC or CBS, I suspect.
