Today we will get to see which, if any, of the people claiming to be journalists in NZ are able to tell the real story instead of getting mired in the dross on all sides.
Andrea Vance has done well as has Keith Ng (who doesn't claim to be a journalist yet often outshines them all).
It is an opportunity for them to actually serve NZ in the way their profession always claims to serve. The easy story will be the e-mail and the shambles of a news conference. The important story is something different and harder and much more unpleasant to report. They may even have to risk their special relationship as political insiders in order to tell the important stories. I wonder how many will have the moral fiber to do that.

OnPoint: "Project SPEARGUN underway", in reply to Olly Buxton,
Not even Richard Nixon would write something as incriminating or stupid as that.
While I don't know if the e-mail is a fake or not it is unwise to assume that the people purported to write the e-mail are intelligent or act intelligently. There is ample evidence that people can be ridiculously stupid, even people such as senior executives.

Hard News: 2014: The Meth Election, in reply to Angela Hart,
the current situation with Slater’s court action is not sufficient to explain the silence
That was my impression as well.
I'm trying really hard to hope that someone in the media who has those documents has a moral compass.

So has there been any sign from the journalists that Rawshark gave his last files to? There really does seem to be a whole story about Jason Ede that is gone completely missing.

And now we have Key fat shaming Dotcom http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/10498374/Its-a-sound-and-light-show-Key
Seriously is this the PM we paid for? I’d almost accept that his political policies are abhorrent to me if he behaved with a modicum of decency.

Up Front: Oh, God, in reply to tussock,
I take it back.
I was completely wrong.
Tussock your post was the perfect reason to continue arguing with a religious zealot.
Applause.
Oh and a nomination for post of the year!
We do have a post of the year don't we?

Up Front: Oh, God, in reply to B Jones,
Could we not agree to disagree and move on to more interesting subjects?
I find it amazing that such a boring tedious and recycled discussion can go on so long. there is simply nothing more pointless than arguing with a religious zealot, it makes nobody happy and resolves nothing.

Sadly it looks like rawshark gave his stash to narcs

Southerly: Sign this Petition, in reply to Vonnie,
Accentuate the positive
For clarity - who exactly is Mr in-between?

Southerly: Sign this Petition, in reply to David Haywood,
In anticipation of emulating Stevenson I have already begun to learn his favourite instrument, the flageolet (which is a member of the fipple flute family, in case you were wondering).
your plan is to torture the guards with the instrument until they plug their ears with cheese and can no longer hear your escape?
