Massive Void left on TV3 shame on you Media works, cancelling CAMPBELL LIVE.

So Campbell Live has just finished broadcasting the last ever show.

I am left feeling this massive Void just like I am sure the rest of New Zealand is feeling!

How did we get to this point where the best show apart from Fair Go, advocating for the little guy is taken off the air? and to be replaced with what ROAD COPS!

Please tell me how watching idiots being chased, pursued and charged is going to help everyday New Zealanders?  If anything it encourages crime, and being rebellious to the authorities.

So we are replacing a great current events line up show with a show about chasing  teenage reckless wannabes. Just doesn't make any sense!

Media works is completely off their tree, if you ask me. Too much pressure from the government etc to shut up John Campbell and the Campbell Live team - why ?
Because Campbell Live continually shows up the government, and its inattention to the important issues affecting everyday New Zealanders.
The Government has a guilty conscience. So has to shut up the actual people who are trying to solve the issues that need solving.

I think maybe John Key needs to have a close inspection of where his priorities lie!
Is he making life better or worse for New Zealand Citizens by the choices he makes.?

I know twitter and Facebook are going to be really busy tonight with comments of support for Campbell Live and John Campbell.

It was painful watching the faces of the Campbell Live Team, so many of them are losing their jobs,

I just say to all those who worked with John Campbell on the Campbell Live show, Thanks for the memories, thanks for standing up and fighting for the rights of those who needed an advocate in their corner.

Thanks for putting your livelihood on the line every week with stories that were confronting, but necessary to bring to light.  Chasing down the crooks, and the ones who wanted to run.

I have nothing but admiration and appreciation for the Campbell Live Team and John Campbell who is one very sincere individual, who was not afraid to show emotion, and break down on camera when the circumstances made him feel for the people involved.

I know I have written an article about Campbell Live before, but this show moves me like no other current event show has influenced. Thats an advantage. I know I wasn't the only one that felt this way and this show was truly special.

I hope those involved in this transition are taking care of themselves, as it is not easy to say goodbye to such a long running programme. My thoughts are with you all. Just remember you are leaving behind an amazing legacy of truth, right, and not just talking about an issue or problem but also following through and getting results.

I just hope that the little Man who needs to see things change still has someone in their corner!
