NZ Herald scabs

[Hesi]

They have reprinted a 6 day old NY Times article on 5 questions to ask when buying wine, and put it in their PREMIUM section, that means you have to pay to view it.

Just go to NY Times and read it

The cheek of of it

Plagiarism at it's finest!

Yes as I have mentioned before, the number of articles not in the Premium section gets smaller and smaller.
It is a bit like the way they take away the advantages of going live as a member of the public to the races at Ellerslie, bit by bit until you go no more.
I started alternating between the Herald and Stuff but spend 90% of the time just going to Stuff to catch up nowadays.
I can understand a Premium "No advertisement" option but why we should be paying for Premium when the pages are full of advertisements I am not sure.

The cartoons are crap as well. Emmerson is obsessed with lampooning Simon Bridges. This morning's effort was truly the lamest cartoon I've seen for many a year - and that's saying something.
