One down, many dozens to go for the MSM’s election coverage.

This bit was curious:

‘…Madeleine Flannagan…was not a threat to the Prime Minister’.

Puts Pete Hodgson’s defence on pretty thin ice doesn’t it?

Wasn’t it at Otago University where Bill Birch’s car ran over a student? Was he ever charged over that?

Not only that Gooner, it also shows how culpable the MSM was in acting as LIAR-BOUR party lapdogs by not making an issue of Hodgson’s alleged assault.
Wonder how a fair reporting of this incident might have affected the election result.

johnie,

Bill Birch wasn’t charged, but the student was (disorderly behaviour).

As an interesting aside, the election party I went to on Saturday night was at his house.

Will Madeleine be charged with disorderly behaviour?

Did Birch intentionally run over the student? Was Birch even driving the car?

From the descriptions of Hodgson’s actions it was intentional.

this statement could have been made last week just as todays statement by South Auckland Police that Gang violence had spiralled out of control could have been released last week or reported as a scoop by any half competent reporter, as could the new details about Taito as could the increases in the current account debt and increase in Tax surplus.

So the passenger in a car is not responsible for the drivers actions?

Since we’re talking media, I see that Stuff have managed to extrapolate from Winston saying he “would not bring down a government [Helen] formed” to “The Greens, with NZ First and Jim Anderton’s Progressive Party give Labour 64, two more than is needed to rule the 122-seat parliament.”

I thought everyone understood Winston’s position to be that he would abstain on votes of confidence, which is in line with his quoted statement above. Are these guys that thick they can’t see that?

Spanner what makes you think that? Most intriguing…

Johnie, only to the extent that the passenger is aware of what is going on. For example, if a student lies under the wheels of a car, the passenger may not be able to see him. But if, say, a car was travelling at 170kph, the passenger would, one assume, be aware of this. Unless they are totally engrossed in their sparkling new copy of the “Communist Manifesto”.

Blog trolls the Flannigans have been busy with their lawyers. Pity they werent charged over their destruction of property at B-P office, then they really would have an iron clad label.
Rent a mob stirrers who will resort to any means to get attention from the media.
Lets see if they like cross burnings outside the offices of the Locke Foundation
