00:00:00
you know the journalists who said and I
00:00:02
won't name them they were stupid enough
00:00:04
to say I didn't see this coming and yet
00:00:06
they call themselves journalists year
00:00:08
after year they report multi-million
00:00:10
dollar losses they bemoon the loss of
00:00:12
the audience they see and promote and at
00:00:16
the very least report on the
00:00:18
proliferation of extra platforms but
00:00:20
they didn't see that coming TV3 is
00:00:23
obsolete so is TV and Zed free to a
00:00:25
television is obsolete every single
00:00:28
thing that's happened for the last
00:00:29
decade and a half has been showing the
00:00:32
new way so to all of a sudden be
00:00:34
surprised that programs are closing down
00:00:36
and networks are shutting news rooms
00:00:38
down and things like that it's just
00:00:39
beyond me as someone's say news Hub is
00:00:41
closed down and then goes out and gets
00:00:43
into their electric car and practically
00:00:44
flies to wherever they're going or
00:00:46
doesn't go anywhere because all the
00:00:47
food's delivered to their door or
00:00:49
because their bloody fridge ordered food
00:00:52
for them and yet you expect still to be
00:00:53
able to watch some stupid oldfashioned
00:00:55
thing
