How much of a snowflake has Barry Soper turned out to be?
Broadcaster Barry Soper says he almost quit after the way that he says two well-known journalists treated him on an overseas trip. Soper’s new book considers the legacy of 12 prime ministers – but it also reveals his angst with Duncan Garner and Guyon Espiner. The pair say they are surprised by the claims.

Barry Soper’s new book was meant to be a victory lap through New Zealand political journalism. Instead, it has managed to make Barry Soper look thinner-skinned than the politicians he spent decades mocking.
Oh what a surprise that Soper is such a brittle snowflake!
Guyon and Garner didn’t want Soper along for a trip to Afghanistan, but Key demanded it and Soper sulked because Guyon and Duncan thought he was a dinosaur?
Barry Soper and the art of the ancient media grudge
Who gives a shit?
How petty has Soper become to hold onto a grudge that is 16 years old??
Bazza likes to dish it out but he doesn’t like it coming back the other way does he?
How has he managed to damage his own reputation so badly with a book he wrote?
His toxicity towards Jacinda ruined his journalism and now his own book is managing to ruin his own career!
He’s like a suicide bomber attacking his own house!
When old media lions start sounding like talkback ghosts
Soper has drifted into John Bishop territory when Bishop complained about a sausage roll and reminded everyone how irrelevant he had become.
Soper is one more commentary away from becoming Garth George from the NZ Herald when Garth argued climate change wasn’t real because God had promised Noah to never flood te earth again!
There’s a point when you just gotta get Grandad off the typewriter!
Bazza needs a cup of tea and a lie down.
Soper like many choose to blindly ignore what comos Ardern / Hipkins and comrades left behind – failed policies to Africa / couldnt build and manage a long drop / printed money that cant be paid for any time soon whilst buying the media / a communications degree qualified FAA ex Tony Blairs office taking over from numerous Union supported miserable failures managed by guess who HA- Mt Eden. – When your articles like many others continue to state current Government failures allude us all on where the money comes from including $100 labour party hand outs / Gang supports etc etc please – Governments have two main sources of income being exports and guess what – extortionist taxes, socialist governments never fail to understand that sooner or later you run out of other peoples money — Churchill / Thatcher but nobody listening. Your current wife comes from a failed country stealing whatever they can big time – But still you clowns throw stones – talk about slow learners – yarpies looking inwards.
He married Duplicity, gives you some idea of his standards.
Grandad Soper and his Granddaughter bride Heather 2+3 Allen have become a disease in NZ’s media. And whilst he cries about others, he raised a son that assaulted two bar owners. Sorry Barry but trying to stain others that you and your blue rinsed National party granddaughter bride won’t cut it any longer.
Not surprised Soper is such a ‘brittle snowfkake’ with a wife who is no better. He needs to shut-up; he is way past his use-by-date so few would be interested in his petty opinions. Surely he has more than enough to do with two ‘under fives’, although there will be a dedicated nanny. His attitude to Jacinda Ardern is so misogynistic,
it’s hard to forgive him for his vindictive, venomous attitude towards her. She is still so far superior to Key, English and Luxon, it’s ridiculous he can’t see this!?
Hasn’t had anything new or relevant to say for years. Increasingly drifts back into recalling old muldoon stories.
