Hey, what’s going on?

Yesterday, Matthew Hooton wrote a column in the NZ Herald that claimed David Parker was corrupt.

Today that article seems to have gone missing???

Matthew Hooton is the Head of Slytherin House, the architect of the Death Star, the moral Shepard to the Right.

He of cloven hoof and forked tongue who does dirty deeds very expensively.

But even for the Hoots, this attempt to paint David Parker out as corrupt is fucking ballsy because David Parker is one of the most legal and ethical human beings on the planet.

Hoots has tried to slap the baby Jesus here folks, and when you start belting the bejesus out of the infant messiah, you’d better have a sound reason for trying to do that, like water tight proof that directly offers up solid evidence that isn’t rumour, misinterpretation and conjecture.

Because you know, it’s the baby fucking Jesus.

I’d have thought attempting to paint someone as ethical as David out as corrupt was journalistic suicide, but Hoots went there, so where is it today?

Every time I gleefully click on the link where the story was to read just how Hoots had managed to fuck this one up, Page 404 appears and the Herald site says the page has gone missing.

I do so hope some attention can come to this glorious matter, because my corn has popped and I’m delightfully awaiting round 2.

    • Mostly most of it,DS. Parker gave a thoroughly credible explanation this morning on RNZ. If you’d listened to it, you know that this is another Nat inspired beat-up. All that’s missing was a “secret” meet-up at the Astoria cafe in front of a 1000 people. *pfffft!*

  8. Its gone “missing” because it is actionable. A story predicated on half-truths and outright bs will not withstand the glare and scrutiny of a libel case.

  9. Looks like this trashy National-aligned tabloid’s “reporting” doesn’t stand up when the defamation lawyers call.
    The Herald pounced on hard-Right dirty politics operative Matthew Hooton the moment he wrote himself out of a job at NBR. Perhaps fearing a further slide in credibility as yet another National Party propagandist was added to the Herald’s staff, NZ’s most partisan news corporation NZME called him a “business columnist”, but so far all of his columns have been around the business of getting National into government.

  10. No respect from towards hooter as the pot always call the kettle black but I would reading what Ian wishart presents in his writings about David parker.

  11. So I am not mad… This is not the first time The Herald articles have gone missing soon after publication. I have learnt to make a copy immediately when ever a startling article appears.
    Question is is it deliberate or is it sloppy editing?

  12. The Herald cannot even get the very basics such as their home delivery right, so fuckwits like Hooton and his hopelessly misleading smear machine being way wrong and yet being published should come as no surprise!

    Anyway, the Hosk is just pissed that Jacinda has given birth, so that is what really matters right now.

    NZME, synonymous with $2 shop quality journalism.
