The Herald have had the audacity to pick up on their own columnists smear job on Clarke with an unnamed ‘story’ covering the outrage they created.
Clickbait using clickbait.

I’ve grown to like Deborah Hill Cone. The neurotic insightfulness of privilege after two bottles of white wine on a Wednesday in Devonport mixed with prescription drugs never sounded so self assured.
There are times she soars with enlightenment, cheers with genuine humour and preaches with conviction.
This hate column attacking Clarke Gayford however, sure as fuck isn’t one of them.

It’s fair to compare Jacinda to Trump in that they are part of the same species, breath oxygen and both have two legs and two arms.
The similarities end there.

Tova is of course free to take the lines of inquiry she wants, she is the Political Editor of a main News Network, it is utterly her prerogative, but the results seem to be cheap headline gotcha’s rather than meaningful comment.

I don’t like Barry Soper either but the joy some seem to revel in his travel mishap is childish at best and pile on bullying culture at worst – extreme climate change, mass social inequality, a looming economic crash & war are issues worthy of our time – throwing shit at Soper because he couldn’t get into the US isn’t.
