Psst, we can always email Russell (via that envelope icon on each comment he posts) if we spot typos. He fixes them too.

Christie’s defence was effectively that it seemed like it might be true and it was up to Harre to “clarify” it.
Don’t these experienced journalists get that they’re being fed this stuff in a deliberate fashion?
The ‘news’ culture he is part of seems to believe it is Harre’s job to correct any slurs they broadcast. He said exactly that in the clip (4m50). Downright lazy - and defensive with it.
If you want to editorialise, get your facts from sources other than sewerblogs.

Hard News: Media Take and Godwin's Election, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
If you’re denying then you don’t have any time to communicate positively.
About time media started reporting where these smears are coming from, and whose interests they serve.

Hard News: Media Take and Godwin's Election, in reply to matthew,
For a commercial broadcaster like TVNZ, it’s about ‘brand’ rather than journalism. Hence Hosking being involved in any way in a political debate show.
If media industry regulation was compulsory and serious, a good few ‘journalists’ might be held accountable for not doing their job. I’d welcome them and those who publish their tattle losing their legal protections as soon as they start behaving like village gossip-mongers telling power to truth.

Speaker: Why you should vote, in reply to Russell Brown,
Green voters could make a real impact with their electorate votes this year though. Watch that space.
Epsom could be interesting. Seymour whining loudly at the prospect of the left being tactical voters just like the cosy little arrangement he relies on.

Speaker: Why you should vote, in reply to Marc C,
simply vote for the "lesser evil", or for a party that may be closest to what we may expect
that's how MMP works - vote for the party closest to what you want and whom you trust to negotiate a good coalition deal with others. Some elections, that's a narrower choice than other times.

Hard News: The silence of the public square, in reply to Rich Lock,
it seems a rather pointless exercise when one is in one of the safer tory seats in the UK
FPP sucks, yes

Speaker: Why you should vote, in reply to ,
Good point - the opposition do shape policy during the term of a government. Same with all the community organisations, corporate lobbyists, and assorted riff-raff. We deserve better riff-raff! Vote frankenfurter.
