When Sinead Boucher paid Nine network one dollar for “Stuff” just. over five years ago, some checked their callender seeking April 1st while the more astute wondered why there was the Charity involved.

Today Sky News has paid Warners the same vast sum for “THREE”.

For those who believe that Government should not be involved commercially in any degree of any Media, Print, Radio or TV will now have as a first thought the Labour party propaganda arm should still be sold will now be grappling with a new question: Exactly how much will it take in inducements to bring about privatising TVOne? and/or RNZ

Now Sky Au has as much interest in New Zealand as they do involving Tasmania but should they loose some of their heavy hitting News Dogs on the hapless bunch masquerading as Government when in reality they rate around a lower level than big city councils it will be potentially interestinger times?

As one who does not rate in any degree the entire socialist leaning Media of this benighted Nation, the most revealing part of this mornings announcement lies in the proportion of National Media now valued by the old measure arrived at by a willing buyer and a willing seller is exactly two New Zealand Dollars, will just one of the seemingly endless army of economic gurus trotted out endlessly perhaps attempt to place a value on what remains?
