MEDIA WATCH: Reparations from the white cis male patriarchy never tasted so sweet
Mike Hosking and the team at ZB donate to the Māori Party??? Oh the delicious hilarity of it all…
Newstalk ZB payout to fund Māori Party election campaign
A settlement payout over defamatory claims Mike Hosking made on air about John Tamihere will help fund the Māori Party’s election campaign.
Newstalk ZB has apologised over comments Hosking made implying the Māori Party co-leader had personally benefited from Whānau Ora funding, which was not the case.
Hosking apologised on the air this morning.

Oh God this is funny.

He said, “I think it sends a message to mainstream broadcasters, particularly very powerful brands, that racial stereotyping is not right because it casts suspicion on all Māori around financial transactions and it’s just not right.”
He said he had offered to resolve the dispute “the Kiwi way” with an apology over a beer but had to take it to court to clear his name.
