There are really no words for how bad TV1 news is these days.

A lead item this evening, which went on and on, was their own commissioned poll on whether Chris Luxon is “in touch” and whether Chris Hipkins should stay as Labour leader. Other stuff such as some terrible traffic accidents and Gaza were left to a brief afterthought in a later segment.

A stupid poll is not news and the way Maiki Sherman went on and on presenting her opinions as fact were pure cringe.
