Completely agree, that article about Markel and the no gardens in prison one, now this, are all weird as fuck. Ain’t much happening up top thar that’s for sure.

Out of all this debacle of Katie Hawkesby-Hosking the whole article she wrote in the NZ Herald has really demeaned the NZ Herald. No-one would take such a tabloid newspaper seriously when they have so-called journos who write such drivel.

But then it is likely the NZ Herald is the official Mouthpeice of the NZ National Party. Whatever their ridiculous and mostly biased towards National ‘journalists’ write is referred to as ‘breaking news’ on the Herald website.

If the NZ Herald really wants to hold onto some sense of credibility then the best they should do is get rid of Hosking and Hawkesby.

I once viewed the NZ Herald with respect and admiration but what they have reduced themselves to now is almost the equivalent of the defunct Weekly World News i.e a largely fictional news tabloid.

Throw into the Herald mixture a bit of stupid bimbo womens magazines and we may as well call the NZ Herald the MKH paper.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised. This is the sort of thing you can expect from Hawkesby. It’s how her tribe operates. Rummaging through bins in search of the grubbiest scraps to hurl at the opposition. There’s no discussion or meaningful debate around policy. It’s all “Oh my God! Trevor’s such a knob! Look at his trousers!” It’s like her intellectual development completely ceased at around age 14, and she’s forever doomed to be the cliquey mean girl making snide remarks about bad skin and unfortunate haircuts.

We should really feel sorry for her. Many, many years ago, she was probably a much nicer person.

Kate Hawkesby scary woman who follows her. Yes behind the paywall would be good then the herald would realise (god knows why they haven’t before) what a revolting vacuous unintelligent woman she is. A lot of it picked up from that moron she is married to. I feel sorry for her parents they must cringe when seeing this. I think her father was a liberal.

In reply to e-clectic. Correct, E-C, and, unfortunately it is likely to get worse.

And where the fuck was Hawkeskings comment on the one eyed Carter?
I have noticed the Heralds full on attacks of the left and pro Bridges columns recently. Balanced reporting it is not, as for Hosking well it’s a rant a day now so now he has become the Heralds permanent right wing barking at parked cars reporter.

Remember, discrediting politics and making it personal and nasty plays into the hands of the right.
It’s the left inclined voters who shy away from this shit and that absence works for the right on election day.

One things for certain, if this is the standard of journalism that the Herald will be offering behind a paywall, it’s bye-bye Granny Herald. Apalling stuff. The editor of the Herald should have his contract terminated.
