Not quite NZ media but think it represents the trend in general:
One of NPR's (U.S. government funded news station) editors wrote a really interesting open letter which I'd definitely recommend reading. Among many shortcomings, he acknowledges that the newsroom had 87 registered Democrats and 0 registered Republicans and also that journalists at NPR were more than happy to ignore credible stories that "might have helped Trump".
I'm not a Trump fan but it shows that the media's attitude has been to ignore stories when it suits, and yell at anyone else who dares look else where that they're just being influenced by misinformation. This attitude is a feeble attempt to hold onto any ounce of credibility while refusing to look at themselves (except this guy^^).

Totally this! Media globally has taken on this "opinion-based" reporting which gets in the way of reporting the facts as they are and allowing the audience to make its' mind up. Reporters seem to feel they have the right to tell us how we should feel about things, I just want the facts from both sides of a story, let me decide if I want to be moved by a story or not.
Media has become another lobbiest, pushing their own agenda.
