Pre election coverage review

The NZ media has proved themselves incompetent in the final days before the election.  Aside from in accurately reporting what Dirty Politocs was about they have also reported events in the tackiest way imaginable.

The Stuff team seem to think the election is a sports race not realising it's a country's future.  They are also forgetting events from 2011.  Robyn Malcolm backed the Green Party like Lucy Lawless is this year, which is also tacky, I hate celebrity endorsements for regular products, let alone politics.

The NZ Herald is worse giving out awards for how the campaign was run.  The election is not an Oscars ceremony nor should such tacky awards be given.  It minimises the importance of the election.

Then there's been the Kim Dot Com diversion which is a revenge attack.  And if Australia for example didn't spy on locals then the terrorist beheading attack might have actually happened.

The NZ media should be truly ashamed for their trashy 'reporting' and lack of focus on issues.  This is one reason that after 20 years people still don't comprehend MMP or understand the country's politics.
