Herald gets down with the kids


Cabinet Bloggers focus on rising Westie
The Blogosphere has made much of the "popular Westie" Paula Bennett's new job in its initial analysis of John Key's cabinet announced yesterday.

I love this ‘story’ by the Herald, they do a story about the ‘blogosphere’ reaction to Paula Bennett – to my shock they didn’t look at Tumeke and my point that she’s a soft face patsy who will be used to sell deep social spending cuts that Rodney and his razer gang intend to run, instead the Herald goes to the two most right wing blogs on the blogosphere, the Fox news online Kiwiblogh and the appalling whale oil who amongst other things likes to post Labour Party peoples faces onto gay porn scenes. Nothing like self referential right wing online news reflecting itself off line.

Perhaps you need to promote yourself better ? No point whining if no one knows you exist.

I believe Bryan that Bomber was the first blogger interviewed right after John Key and Rodney Hide on the Sunday TV One Election special.

No Minister wasn't quoted either and we had a lengthy piece welcoming Paula to the job.
BTW Bomber when is Tim releasing his next chart?

A question

Looking at how the appointment of Paula Bennett as Minister of Social Development has been greeted in the sewer, I have to ask: can we have a female Minister - or indeed, a female politician - without immediately sexualising her or judging her on her looks?

[Hat tip: Tumeke]

what an OUTRAGE!. How dare they not quote the host of the best political team on television. The 5 of us who watch know what a superior intellect Martyn is. NZ should move to regulate its media to get Bomber coverage. TUMEKE!!!!!!!!

Hmm ... it's so unlike Idiot/Savant to be so po-faced and humourless.

WOW Bomber still doesn't realise no one cares what he thinks!

Well I got annoyed by it after reading Bombers post and had a wee go at the Granny myself.

"NZ Herald Staff" dribble

It really isn't acceptable for the MSM to act like a PR printing facility, especially about the blogs.

What Slater did to Sleep's photo was absolutely disgusting. What a lowlife, dispicable excuse for a human being.
