Hard News: Everybody has one, in reply to Steve Parks,
To be fair, Greenwald did bring that result on himself, to some degree. His close alignment with Dotcom wasn't the best judgment call of his career.
To be fair, put yourself in their shoes and see if you would come up with the same conclusions. Experience can bring people together. Edward Snowden and Assange saw fit to speak too. All of them (Dotcom included) know how this Government works. That they chose to try and tell the NZ public was a public service in my mind. Who else invited them down here? No one else.
Dotcom has an interest in saving himself from one of the biggest Corporations in the World. That Greenwald saw this and wanted to help , may have been about that and nothing to do with "his career". -

I still reckon Hosking is a self absorbed cuff snapping patronising waste of carbon ...
Ohh you're too nice. :)

because how can someone being drained of that much opinion possibly be always sincere about what they say, if a few hours later they have to churn out more opinion?
John Key does it too and relishes it. He has an opinion on everything and has decided he knows best. It's rather handy Hosking agrees with him. Talking heads tend to blather on with ease because "EGO" because vanity, because arrogance. Then subservient people around you constantly confirms you are right then money paid convinces yourself.
I think the crossovers between radio, TV , Newspaper is a dangerous precedent. Even Jono and Ben admitted last night they spend up to 18 hours a day together. Thank Christ they are only trying to be funny. -

I see Jim McClay got one also
Jeez that Todd McClay is a piece of work too ain't he? - that question time absurdity earlier in the week was Kafkaesque in the extreme
So many McClays, thought you were talking about his father, (Roger) for a minute there

He claimed he's not a journalist but someone in his comments today suggested he should take the journalist claim out of his facebook profile as that would be confusing. I dont have anything to do with facebook or know how it works but I gather he has friends on face book who could be confused by this. Also Had enough of Hosking article in Stuff indicates the saturation we are experiencing
In the past month, broadcaster Mike Hosking has been given a platform to voice his views 70 times across his Newstalk ZB show, his NZ Herald column and the television show Seven Sharp. He's been at the centre of programmes on the air for about 65 hours

*Not the blogging kind of whale.
Saw your vid. Glad to read that he refloated. Hope he made it through the channel out to the ocean without incidence.
I've been priviledged to get up close to a whale (for filming purposes, thanks CBS) It is very special. Sticks with ya. -

I wonder how much of that budget has been diverted to buy Mike Hosking another Ferrari?
I said as much in my latest comment to her. It probably wont get in but her last piece is well worth reading. Dita De Boni, Her last Herald article
Another good writer pushed under the bus. -
Polity: In defence of the centre, in reply to Kumara Republic,
A big part of Helen Clark's victory in 1999 was when she buried the hatchet with Jim Anderton,
...and Andrew Little said on the Nation this week that it was too far away from the Election to talk about coalitions but Labour had worked with the Greens and NZFirst in the past and could do so again but Lisa Owen ignored him and just wanted to say whatever it is she interrupts with.
