When do you know that a big international news story might be looking like An Historic Moment? When it gets a bunch of utterly superfluous New Zealand reporters inserted into it.
I've been sympathetic to our media fretting about hanging on by a thread, but each time they despatch their microphone-holders to a story like OMG RIP HM The Queen or Hi it’s me Corin Dann live at a stadium with popcorn watching Donald Trump the real Donald Trump live on stage, this election is as pulsating as a Bledisloe, I’m more inclined to think are you people really worth propping up?
Maybe they're not just there so they can be at An Exciting Historic Moment, but I'm not seeing much substance or fresh insight or interesting take to persuade me otherwise.
