So Tova O’Brien sat down with Jami-Lee Ross for a Newshub Nation interview that has reportedly “gone viral”. This was a golden opportunity missed: the two most unpleasant people in New Zealand politics confined together in a Newshub studio. Couldn’t someone have quietly locked the door and tip-toed away?
They do indeed deserve each other. A happy union of egomaniacs.
ReplyDeleteThe irony is that Ross is reportedly the source of most of National's "leaks" to Tova in the period before his departure from the Nats.
ReplyDeleteI presumed he granted her that interview because he thought she was on his side!
Gosh, that's a kindly thought, I'd tend to wish a more permanent confinement, eg. door locked, key lost.
ReplyDeleteWhere has this Tova woman sprung from? She is a nasty piece of work who instantly seems to have been given some sort of celebrity status amongst some in the media. I detest the direction so-called mainstream media has gone and this vicious woman is indicative of where they are at. She'd fit right in at CNN. As for Ross, what a drip.

Wouldn’t being placed together in a sewn sack that was then thrown into the Tiber be more like it? 😳😂
ReplyDeleteMedia outlets quite like to develop the 'cult of personality' among their news and current affairs presenters, and being controversial is seen as a plus, although basic manners and non-aggressiveness should be insisted on. The Left Wing love Tova, but the biggest thing here is the abandonment of any pretense of impartiality by Newshub, over the last 3 years at least. Newshub should just rename itself 'Labour Party News'
