Silly Season
OPINION: Election years are usually regarded as the silly season, but a mate of the Hound reckons 2026 is shaping…
Trust in the media has plummeted, with only 27% of New Zealanders expressing confidence in it, while 48% explicitly do not, according to a comprehensive Ipsos survey with a huge 7,000 sample size.
This makes the media the least trusted major institution, ranking even lower than local and central government, both at 28%.
When the Hound, along with a big chunk of the population, called bulldust on their strings-attached Public Interest Journalism fund, they tried to have the old mutt put down.
And they’ll ignore this survey result too. Oh well. Last one out, turn off the lights fellas!
