Mediawatch Midweek Mediawatch - RNZ's Russiagate; 'rinky-dink' politics & forecast fatigue
In this week's Midweek Mediawatch, Hayden Donnell talks to Anna Thomas about RNZ's 'pro-Russia edits' saga now extending stories about other countries - and a newspaper's feature story that fell short of standards. Also: one RNZ host leaves the broadcaster while another returns to air; the intense focus on political party leaders' 'rinky dink' phrases - and what they say off-message; the media war over Australia's most famous soldier- and whether people can weather the long forecasts.
