Although in that case it's not misunderstanding so much as an agenda. Perhaps with Maori politics it's the former (or both).DPF:TLDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372937855256319716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-5106376323813716972011-06-22T15:33:17.282+12:002011-06-22T15:33:17.282+12:00Garner will spin it anyway that suits the nats..

It should be obvious by now that he's a fully paid up member of the "insiders" club.. <br /><br />It would be most disappointing if turia is still allowing her personal animosities to dictate her actions. She was elected to represent her constituents wishes, not so that she could pursue a feud that ranks as a non issue outside her own head.bluesynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-38501435723493500382011-06-21T23:24:52.874+12:002011-06-21T23:24:52.874+12:00Well said Morgan.

After watching the clip with Turia and Gardner's comments, I'm wondering if he's crossed the line into campaigning for Davis and Labour? If not, he comes dangerously close. It is becoming increasingly clear that mainstream media have very little insight into Maori politics and how we function. At the moment, I get more critical insight from blogs and social media sites than I do from the media. They need a Maori politics specialist and they appear loathe to get one.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357415738616502879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-86848802447417709872011-06-21T20:15:46.134+12:002011-06-21T20:15:46.134+12:00Pakeha media always try to swing political votes.W...Pakeha media always try to swing political votes.What you have to understand is that its always pakeha who are doing the interview or the fart polls.Hone will piss in prohecy tells no lies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-86101167406381478872011-06-21T19:25:02.816+12:002011-06-21T19:25:02.816+12:00Spot on CrownRetro.

Garner has shown his spots on this one, I am surprised he hasn't been reigned in a little because he isn't doing anything to portray tv3's political coverage as 'balanced'. Very shoddy work from him really. Turia's comments about Tipene could have just as easily been about her imo.netanaproductionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580379900910844006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-65420764390205460032011-06-21T16:26:03.723+12:002011-06-21T16:26:03.723+12:00Hone will win folks and I think by much more than ...Hone will win folks and I think by much more than the predicted 5%.
