When bastard spawn of marketing & lite news like The Project can grow a spine, you know National are in trouble

Last night, the bastard spawn of marketing & lite news, the Project, managed for 2 minutes to grow a spine.

It’s nice to see the impact that Banter on Duke has created by forcing The Project to actually start talking about something of significance.

Watching Jesse stumble across a script that demanded more respect from the long suffering comedians who must write this dross week nightly is painful but at least it’s something.

If you are stupid enough to source your current affairs from The Project or Seven Sharp, this monologue will be deeply challenging, and that’s a small victory in a broadcasting landscape as utterly devoid of intelligent discussion as NZs.

If Bill English is losing diet hipster media vehicles like The Project, National should start becoming worried.
