war crimes, budget lies, spending public funds on hush money & underfunded mouldy sewage hospitals are less important than Clare Curran’s coffee dates???
Once appraised of Curran’s hopes and fears, and quite possibly, of her intentions vis-à-vis the reappointment – or not – of RNZ Board Chairperson, Richard Griffin, did Hirschfeld suddenly find herself in possession of information as sensitive and compromising as it was potentially career-destroying? Did the Right and its media allies, informed of Curran’s meeting with Hirschfeld, simply seize an opportunity to kill two potentially very dangerous birds with a single stone?
I’ve seen the Greens do some spectacularly stupid things in the past, but handing over one question to the fucking National Party every Parliamentary Question Time is fuckwitedness at a level I’ve never witnessed.
I feel the only way the NZ media would bother focusing on the 21 Afghan civilians we killed and wounded would be if the SAS had instead of launching an attack on the village gone in with lots of booze, gotten everyone drunk, inappropriately harassed 15 civilians and groped 5 others.
It would be great if we could get the same energy and focus on that now, cause you know, war crimes.
Isn’t it time for the NZ Media to start doing their job now Jon Stephenson and Nicky Hager have done all the hard work?
Can we move onto that now, because as much fun as cyclists who want brain damage is as a news story, I just care a little more about war crimes we commit.
…screaming ‘racist’ at the Young Nats for a meme that isn’t racist manages to eclipse the real issues and the substantive history of why we owe the Pacific.
…as a witness in this case, it was apparent to me that the Judy didn’t seem to have any comprehension whatsoever of defamation law.
