gee peni,
What well constructed sentences. Must be nice know you have friends who can feed you your lines. I just can't imagine who that might be, some slimy-as snake in the grass , )
See, that's the trouble with dropping the ball and playing the man, Peni. It gets all messy. The issues get forgotten. Discussions generate more heat than light. But of course that's exactly what some people want, isn't it Peni?
For us to forget allllll about the facts and focus on the personalities.
It's a classic public relations tactic from ancient times, ay Peni? You've been fooled by it, and even those who think they are ever so cleverly spin doctoring are only fooling themselves, too.
Your revelation that the reporter involved is my ex-wife as if it were some kind of big secret only confirms how out of touch you are, ay Peni? Not only is it common knowledge across the region, I have disclosed that relationship on pubicly available sites and to collegial forums since way back when.
See, Peni, that's the trouble when you let yourself be led around by the nose by mind melding morons, your brain short-circuits and you forget the first fundamental lesson of public discourse: do your homework. Try Google.
After you've checked my credentials, dumb bum, you can use the same search engine to dredge up the affidavits in Samoa. You might even like to print them out and compare them for inconsistencies, or would that be too much like hard work?
Easy to make sneering criticisms, ay Peni, a bit more difficult to live up to what you urge us journalists to do all the time: check your facts.
I am somewhat confused, further, by your comment about eighties journalism. I guess you prefer the 90's and 00 versions, with their outstanding coverage of issues like terrorism, globalisation and economic development. Yes, journalism at TVNZ is sexed up, as it is all over the developed world, because you know why Peni? Cretinous consumers like you love the clash and flash much more than they like actually reading the damn script and making up their own mind. That's what rates Peni. It's a style. Sometimes it's a style that overwhelms the substance, but don't worry, Peni, the substance is still there.
My suggestion, Peni, is that you spend as much time on the substance of a story as sniffing around my underpants.
For the record: my comments relating to issues surrounding the TVNZ story on drugs and guns in Samoa have nothing to do with the fact that the reporter is my ex-wife. They have everything to do with the fact that a colleague got death threats because of a story she wrote, and the failure of her colleagues in Samoa and across the region to do anything about it. Issues surrounding this story and reactions to it strike to the heart of fundamental human rights that, in Samoa as elsewhere, are routinely abused under a culture of impunity, enabled by the politics of deceipt.
Stay tuned, Peni and the ghost writers ! Keep up those ball handling skills !!
kia toa,
jason

I have just heard that you are the ex-wife of the reporter in
question.
I understand now why you are throwing around such unsubstantiated
allegations.
I guess your nineteen eighties journalism allows for this sort of
thing to happen.
I see how the reporter in questions made up the story.
You both have the same background.
As sexed up as it is.
