With some listeners there seems to be an acceptance that because a certain presenter, such as John McDonald on Morning talkback, gives out a PERSONAL opinion of a particular issue that the opinion expressed is Gospel. The presenters then proceed to barely acknowledge the views of callers who oppose that opinion and give time to those callers who do agree and approve of the presenter's opinion.
It was rumoured that at the start of the Covid epidemic, that the Government paid an enormous sum to media outlets to actively promote anti Covid vaccinations and very circumspectly promote official dogma. I am not influenced by these talk back presenters, but some might be. Most presenters are extremely biased over many important issues and pass on this bias to listeners. The format of afternoon talk back with Simon and James is better because they discuss an issue and their opinions often differ, so undecided listeners can perhaps hear both sides of an issue, and also the afternoon programme is more relaxed and the presenters more personable.
Some presenters are notorious for cutting off callers who disagree with them thus only the braver callers ring in to offer a differing opinion to that of the show host. ALSO please please bring back Tony Amos for Saturday's 'In My Day" programme which I listen to whilst toiling in Gym and later on in bed before nodding off. Miles Davis would be excellent as well. And no I don't spend hours listening solely to radio talk back, but it is background whilst doing other things. Often gets switched in annoyance. Radio is good if only used to inform of a situation or particular issue, and invite callers to ring with talkback, but it is just too easy for some listeners to be swayed by personal opinions of the presenters. I do however really enjoy the catchy advert for The Tyre General, must be the same agency which does the Brakes advert.
Take care folks and keep warm.......

Qigong is an ancient Chinese holistic therapy. It is the foundation to Tai Chi, but relatively simpler than Tai Chi.
Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.
Zhineng Qigong emphasises moving meditation rather than static meditation.
It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibration and universal Qi(energy) to bring about a positive transformation of the body, mind and spirit.
“Since beginning Qigong, my asthma gradually got better, and my breathing has improved. I no longer take any medication for asthma.
My food intolerances have gradually resolved and I can now eat most of the foods that used to cause problems for me.
My energy levels have improved and my right hip pain is hardly noticeable.
My body feels light and I can often feel the qi moving through.
I feel much calmer and any anxiety I had is gone.”
~ Vicki Parr
“The gentle movements stretch every muscle in my body although they look very simple. My muscles feel stronger, and I am mentally stronger too. While practicing, I feel the sense of “unity with the universe.”
~ Susan Sky
“Through regular qigong practice, my back pain is healed and my spine is more flexible. I had also been suffering severe shoulder pain for months. Just like a miracle, after one qigong class the pain had gone. The pain did come back a couple of days later, but much milder. After regular practice, I am pain free. This was a wow fact for me. I LOVE the feeling of connection to the Universal Qi, and would like to share qigong with others.”
~ Graham Good

Charges for using excess water are expected to come into force from July 1, but some Christchurch city councillors have launched a last-minute bid to defer the policy.
The council decided last year, following public consultation, to charge from July this year those who use more than an average of 700 litres of water a day over a three-month period.
Thousands of homeowners across Christchurch can expect to receive a bill, but only during the summer months for most.
About 30,000 homes across Christchurch and Banks Peninsula used an average of more than 700 litres a day during the 2020-21 summer.
But the council will not be sending out bills for $25 or less, so people will have to use more than 900 litres each day over 90 days to receive a bill. Once a bill goes above $25, the person will be charged for all usage above 700 litres.
Suburbs with the most households using more than 700 litres include Hornby (1392), Avonhead (1364), Burwood (1336), Halswell (1119) and Fendalton (1066).
Council three waters boss Helen Beaumont said 20,000 households were using more than 900 litres a day and could expect a bill if they did not reduce their use. Most of those bills would be less than $100.
The charge would be $1.35 for every 1000 extra litres used.
There will be exemptions for households with eight members or more who are using water responsibly.
However, five councillors – Sam MacDonald, James Gough, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown and Catherine Chu – want the charges deferred.
Councillors will discuss and vote on this issue as part of next week’s annual plan sign off. Continue reading here.
