Not enough journalists shot in NZ
Reporters Without Borders has ranked New Zealand as the ninth best country in the world in terms of media freedom.
Surely they have overlooked Helen’s threats to stop leaking information to journalists who write bad things about her?? I mean sure there haven’t been any reporters killed lately, but come on one knows that if the Government could make Duncan Garner disappear, they would do it.
Australia is 41st and North Korea is 167th. By the time Howard finishes his 5th term no doubt they will have swapped places 
Cuba is 2nd worse in 166th place. We should all rest thankful Jim Anderton never stayed in Labour, or that could be us!

Reporters Without Borders! What an unfortunate name. Do they kinda spill out everywhere?Conjures up visions of blamange without a bowl. Journos With Jaundice or Scibes Without Scruples might be more accurate.

When journalist have a proper professional body like doctors,lawyers,religious ministers then and only then can such a concept as professional priviledge make any sense.
In NZ journalists have been too long been in bed , literally as is the case with the ‘Listeners’ political journalist, for them to be any chance of moving up the ladder of professional responsibility
