RIP Patrick Gower Political Editor 2012-2017
…Patrick Gower isn’t so much a journalist as he is a barking dog that chases every stationary car he can see. I enjoy watching his work for the pure bloodsport element, when his eyes roll into the back of his head as he starts his death spin on whatever unfortunate soul has been stupid enough to be interviewed by him, you watch with all the excitement of a really gruesome snuff movie.

New Zealand Media Ownership : why it matters

MEDIAWATCH: If you feel alienated by hearing Māori, then perhaps you need to reflect upon that
It seems deeply sad and ugly that a gift like Te Reo can be attacked in this manner, we are beyond this and all I hear in Brash and Edwards are the roar of tired dinosaurs who don’t appreciate they are extinct already.
