If only the same could be said about New Zealand's TVNZ, which is also funded by the government, but pumps out more than its fair share of rubbish news. At least Radio New Zealand appears to be sticking to decent reporting.
A court remedy in the WWII case was a good idea due to the sum of money involved. You could have been in the right, but it just isn't worth bothering with, due to court fees, etc.
Thanks for the heads up on MediaWatch, I'll check it out asap.
And I agree with your other comments. Over the last few years I've watched our two main media stations fire experienced reporters, while the remaining continue to produce stories filled with sourceless assertions. And as far as pictures go, most stories these days are just the reporter talking into the screen. I stopped watching One News because I got sick of seeing that girl with too much mascara filling the camera.
The media here is reporting more and more "meta media" where stories are primarily about themselves. When this satire law became news last month, all the stations spent a good portion of their TV time over the following WEEKS talking about it and themselves.
A tip for NZers: Try to watch Prime's news at 5.30. At least they only have 30 minutes, so most of the filth stories are filtered out.

Manning does this, e-book only is cheaper, print is more money but comes with the e-book.

I know you're trolling, but with valuations ranging from $1 Billion to $10 Billion and ~32 million users, it is a big deal.

Dell have sold PCs in our (NZ) Walmart-esqe chain "The Warehouse" before, at least 4 years ago.
Considering its targeting stuff like ipod playback, this shouldn't be a problem.
Also happened to me.
And would that cheap windows box run the latest games anyway? I think not...
