Boag and McCarten are backroom political operators, not journalists. Truthiness is to be expected if producers keep inviting such a limited range of conflicted commentators onto their shows.

I at least expect them to meet basic standards of professional and ethical conduct
Please do lodge a press council complaint. You sound motivated enough over this one to see it through.

There’s no sign at all that Brown “created favours” for Chuang
He did invite her to events. Some of the other advisory boards and their members might have wished for similar access to influence.

Didn't Whale Oil state that he and his father had received threatening texts along with Bevan?

Danyl observes than Slater junior's doltishness may have done the Mayor a big favour.
If the story was broken strategically it would have been used to force Brown into making denials that could be disproved, and rolled out over a series of days with separate components leaked to rival news organisations – the usual bag of tricks Labour and National employ when they get something juicy.
But Slater just vomited it all out there on his blog, which possibly saved Brown’s mayoralty.

The relationship between Slaters senior and junior would make an interesting read. Most likely full of angst and disappointment rather than pride and respect.
