Unfortunately NZ Herald has become a hotbed of rightwing opinion led infotainment. Writers like Mike Hosking, Heather du Plessis Allan, and Ashley Church are not journalists, they are simply writing to influence an audience. It has been heartbreaking for me to see a once trusted national institution lose its soul. Furthermore the terrible desktop ui where crazy ads drop at you from all angles. You go to click on something and it shifts as you click. It’s more like a bad computer game than a news site. There is simply no way I would pay for the drivel noted above, and the equivalent of computer dodgems while I’m trying to read it. Laughably bad. However the one thing I do miss is your excellent rugby analysis. At least that has bot become polluted by political opinion. Herald should be ashamed of contributing to echo chambers that will slowly tear the country apart. This is the source of trouble in US. You have a social responsibility to do balanced reporting. And balanced opinion. If hard roght view is shown an equivalent left view should be shown. So all readers can see balance and form an informed balanced opinion.
