Regan at Throng has spiked a story that the Herald on Sunday was going to run about Liz Shaw.
The Herald on Sunday, in their never-ending quest for zero credibility, are planning to run an exclusive with Liz Shaw who has been dumped as one of X Factor judge, Daniel Bedingfield’s, assistants. Read more »
These two tweets came out a few minutes apart this morning.
Guess which channel is working hard, and which is phoning it in?
Seems it’s not only the Labour Party that courts don’t have any jurisdiction over.
Crusading lefty journos are exempt too. Jock Anderson at NBR has an article (Paid) where TV3 claims they were right and the Judge wrong in the case of fraudster Tracey Gwendoline Hibberd.
Hibberd went on Campbell Live in May 2011 claiming her (© Copyright Protected – The National Business Review 86)qualification documents were real, when a jury subsequenty found them to be false.
In the item, Mr Campbell – clearly swallowing what Hibberd claimed – pronounced to his audience Hibberd’s diploma “looks legit to us”.
The reporter who did the story was Mihingarangi Forbes.
When Ms Forbes asked a rhetorical question in the item about Hibberd: “Would she lie to the nation on television?” Judge Wade answered with: “Yes she would and, yes, she did.” Read more »
Who would know where the polls are at the moment. I have decided that I won’t reference Roy Morgan anymore. Their polling has become extremely erratic and their refusal to join the polling body just confirms my suspicions. It wouldn;t matter if they showed National above 50%, I will no longer mention their crack fuelled polling.
TVNZ One News Colmar Brunton poll shows a drop for National. I’d suggest their February result was a bit out of kilter, so the drop is not as big as they are making out.
Labour will try to claim this is because of their constant dripping tap of GCSB and also their power policy. However polling was completed well before they released the policy. Read more »
Cactus Kate looks at the silly beat up of the Teina Pora case…she sees greed more than stitch up or the false claim of “institutional racism” as the reason the fool is cooling his heals in the pokie than anything else..and ratings and greed is what is motivating the public campaign to get him released despite being convicted by two juries.
Teina Pora’s family saw reward money as did Pora himself and all of them got greedy. Two juries convicted him. Their own evidence was used against only their own.
I suspect now the Pora’s can all see everyone’s favourite jersey wearing twenty-something ghosty paperboy from Dunedin in line for millions in compensation and think their little angel can line up for some of that if they all contradict what they said 20 years ago. Albeit with 20 more years of pot smoking, boozing and crime under their belts and perhaps from Penfold’s door step interview, two more generations of lying, time-wasting ferals born into the wider family for the taxpayer to pay for. It is a wonder they can remember what happened yesterday if their intellect matches the TV3 edit.

I’ve stayed way from 3rd Degree’s and TV 3′s campaign to free twice convicted rapist and murderer Teina Pora.
Basically, every single person in prison is innocent of all charges – or so they would have you believe.
But now, for some bizarre reason, the Daily Blog has tried to drag me into it as a way of having yet another go at the cops. I won’t link to it. It’s piss-poor as always. Dotcon’s biggest fan, David Fisher, has retweeted it, in line with the usual cop-bashing drivel.
But here’s the thing, if I was going to discuss it I’d talk about the facts.
They are:
The cops don’t actually convict people. Courts do that.
Teina Pora has been convicted twice by courts.
His lawyer has been asked to provide new evidence to back up his claims of wrongful conviction.
To date, he hasn’t done so.
A half-arsed media campaign counts for fuck all in the judicial system.
So there we go. A new TV programme backs a “cause” to get more viewers, get people talking about it, and get some cross-promotion from a sister news programme.
Pretty clever.
But then a few dumbos who should know better are reducing themselves to John Minto levels with schoolboy attacks on the cops.
Grow up and get real.
It is understandable really, since Chris Hipkins is Labour’s very own child MP.
As reported on Throng, last night’s ratings for Campbell Live finally beat those of Seven Sharp

TV3 are all up themselves about it, and TV One are all surly, managing to talk about long term strategies and completely avoiding the elephant in the room: that TV3 had a (pathetic, yet) killer exclusive last night.
Let’s see what happens over the next few nights, shall we?
Without an “exclusive” Marmite announcment, I doubt they’ll repeat this performance.
I am on Firstline tomorrow at 0715 for a general discussion about politics.
Topics are likely to be Maori party leadership, Cunliffe’s non-challenge and the February leadership vote and John Key’s re-shuffle.
Tune in to TV3 to watch.
No idea who I am on with, but Rachel Smalley is away and Emma Jolliff is the presenter.
