@NatalieDavis Here's the Radio New Zealand story on the same alarming incident.

"RNZ is investigating how online stories about the war in Ukraine, which were supplied by an international news agency, were edited to align with the Russian version of events. A staff member has been placed on leave while other stories are audited."

CBC - Canada’s public broadcaster has quit #twitter.

If more national broadcasters followed suit, it would surely expedite the unravelling of the bird under Musk’s ownership.

Here’s looking at you #radionz @radionz @tvonenz #tvnz

Go on , @rnz, you can do it...

Paul Goldsmith on #RadioNZ this morning, pushing the same usual race-baiting weasel words designed to scare their supporters.
Using words like "a radical view that honouring the treaty requires 50/50 co-governance". This isn't radical. There are legislative references to "equal partnership" and "equal representation". If you have a board of 10 people and there is only one choice representing Māori, that is not fair representation. There is legal precedent here.

Here's a very calm Kim Hill eviscerating visiting TERF Posie Parker this morning.

This is a fantastically clear interview with @timnitGebru on #RadioNZ giving an accessible overview what's wrong with the current #AI situation, and what can be done about it. Also great to hear about the cool stuff #DAIR is doing, inspiring stuff!

Listening to #radionz and thoughts with the upper North Island for sure. Fingers crossed :-( #Auckland #CycloneGabrielle

These cyclones are horrible. We were in #Gisbourne for the last one. Might be worth a thought during the next few days of #CycloneGabrielle as to what official feeds we really need in the #ActivityPub #Mastodon world in #Aotearoa - I'm thinking #GeoNet, #MetService, #Niwa, #RadioNZ, personally I'd love to see Rivers each have their own alert level feed too ... and who else?

Politicians remain wedded to #growth as the solution to all problems. But that growth has gone. "To all intents and purposes, we're already living in a kind of #postgrowth economy. But we haven't figured out how to make that work."

[It's a bit of a cliche to say it now, but President Trump in the United States created a permissive environment for extreme-right, king of proto-fascist people, extreme misogynists and so on, to operate in," said Shaw. "That's actually gotten worse]

Quoted in RNZ press today by James Shaw, leader of the Green Party.
He's not afraid to call out where vile social media, it's followers and it's influencers has its origins

and I agree with him.

On #RadioNZ last night, a soundbite from a "south island farmer" on the PM's resignation. He was "very happy" she resigned but when it came to why, all he said (or, all that was broadcast) was "she made it hard to be a farmer". Assuming he doesn't believe she personally caused the droughts and floods of the last few years, he must mean the environmental regulation to prevent him from polluting our streams and atmosphere with cow waste. Regulations, in other words, to _preserve_ #farming.

Apropos of today's #KimHill #radioNewZealand interview on the shamaic origins of Santa Claus, here is the structure of a Sami lavvu ...

When it's wrapped in reindeer hide and covered in snow, visitors can only enter the lavvu through the top, which is also the exit for smoke from the hearth fire. Not a chimney so much.

Amazing interview from Kim Hill with a tobacco shill. She tore him apart. Hilarious stuff. #RadioNZ

Best quote from that #RadioNZ interview with Nicola Willis just now: "We think South Auckland people are doing great things in garages".
#WTF

Just listened to Kim Hill interview Norman Cook and it was the most wholesome thing.
