When a king of arrogant sophistry like Mike Fucking Hosking is claiming of David Cunliffe that ‘he reeks of a grandiose pomposity that most of us don’t like’, we know that NZ Media has managed to break through the sound barrier of irony with a sonic boom that has blown out all the windows of ZBs recording studio.

‘Grandiose pomposity’ is what Mike Fucking Hosking does for a career, attempting to smear David Cunliffe in this manner comes across more like self-loathing projection rather genuine criticism.

Rich men in glasshouses shouldn’t own machine guns.

  1. The ‘photo-shopped’? image of Hosking at the top of the NewstalkZB page says it all. It has been truly disappointing observing a journalist of his calibre and promise seduced by the baubles of ‘celebrity’ and ‘Hollywood’, however his own ego a long time ago fell for those inducements, and the New Zealand public have been the losers.

  2. And his geek of a wife, boring everyone ridged with articles about her yawn of a family in the womans magazines. Get a life! Painful grandiose pomposity all right.

  3. He also made such a fuss about privacy for himself and Kate and his children for all those years. But now he regularly talks about Kate, the kids, family life, on his show and she writes about the family for a woman’s magazine. He can’t have it both ways.

    I remember his guffawing at a person who he phoned to give a prize because she couldn’t remember entering (by subscribing for some on-line newsletter). He really lacks the common touch.

    His sign off of “happy days” after the Pike River tragedy report he had just covered was the final straw for me. I love the Wendyl and Jeremy slot but that’s it for me.

    • Hoskin’s comments come as no surprise really considering he is Johnny$ No 1 Fan Boy. Whenever the opportunity presents, he licks Key’s shoes that much, Mike can check out his scrunchie hairdo in their shine while down there.

  4. Mike Hosking sneers and pokes jibes for a (very fine) living. Reminiscent of his good buddy JK. No arrogance THERE, of course…
