<p>Grant is a really nice bloke, she on the other hand is exactly as you'd think: self centred, narcissistic and a bit pathetic really. Her "tribute" to Jonah article ( which as you probably remember was a story all about her in which Jonah featured briefly at the end ) says everything about her and there's something very sad about a 50 something radio "personality" swanning all over 20 something singing stars on the radio.</p>

<p>with her face like that, i am surprised Grant wasn't the one drinking himself into oblivion. Or at least until she looked good. </p>

Long interesting article about how old media basically fucked itself<br>

Yeah that's depressing alright. It's sad to see what were once proper news gathering organisations reduced to advertorial Buzzfeed wannabes. The NZ Herald has a headline right now "iPhone 7: Should you buy it, or wait?". When did speculation about a phone that's not even released yet, lifted wholesale from news.com.au, become newsworthy? Once it might have warranted a smallish article in a weekly lifestyle section, but now it's right there alongside other thought provokers like "Mariah Carey's "sexy" billboards banned" (sexy? But they've got Mariah Carey on them, how can they be sexy? And by the way it's an airport in fucking California, why the fuck do we care?) and "The dark side of avocados".<br><br>
It doesn't seem to have dawned on the Herald yet that their only point of differentiation is NZ and local news. If they lose the local focus and compete with Buzzfeed, don't be surprised when their readers choose Buzzfeed. -

<p>Are you saying that the best way for them to survive is to carry the Hilary Barry story?</p> -

There's a Hilary Barry story? How so, isn't she dead? I'm sure I read the obituaries somewhere. -

<p>Yes, she has done a story on Health and Safety.</p>

<p>It's hilarious, apparently. But not as hilarious as my pun.</p> -

<p>She has now been dubbed 'Mother of the Nation" by Stuff.</p>
<p>I thin they are just trolling now.</p> -
<p>I have cut all my ties to my 'mother' what has she ever done for me!</p>

I'd settle for the BeyoncÃ
