Another Maori broadcasting scandal Add this story to Scoopit!.

MTS has had yet another scandal with the resignation of Derek Fox (the man who chaired his own appointment panel!).

When the news broke yesterday there was much speculation that a woman was involved, and the NZ Herald confirms the staff member making the complaint was female.

I can be persauded that it is not unreasonable for the Government to fund some Maori language broadcasting (well for as long as we own or fund TVNZ and Radio NZ) but the history of scandals and incompetence with ATN, MTS, TMP and now even a manager on almost $200,000 within TVNZ to ensure the news is politically correct on maori issues is pushing even my tolerance.

    If it weren’t so tragic it would be funny. A year over-due, $55m of taxpayers’ money done the tubes each year and for what? A Sky-Digital Maori language television station. Now that is going to solve the problems of Maori being over-represented in every negative demographic. Except of course no-one’s allowed to say anything negative about any Maori programme, least of all white males.
