| Jim Mora...Key's chief defender... |
Phil Wallington vs.
Jim Mora, Whale Oil [Slater] and John Key
Radio NZ’s Afternoons, Jim Mora on Tuesday [1st April
2014] was confronted with a journalist of the highest ethical standards Phil Wallington, and he simply couldn’t
handle it, he was out of his depth.
Jim Mora is well known for his interviews with a
whole bunch of right wing bloggers, journalists, commentators and national
party hacks. He, at odd times, includes a guest who could be considered left in
nature, but they are rare and if too out spoken rarely get a second invite.
Jim Mora’s well recognised slavish defence of PM John Key and any National
cabinet minister is now so obvious that everyone except possibly Jim Mora
himself is aware of his inbuilt and blatant right-wing bias. But on Tuesday he
came up against a journalist unafraid of Jim’s bias. Phil in his defence of
professional behaviour regarding the media and its obvious manipulation by
political ‘sleaze bags’ was fantastic and sincere. His condemnation, of the Prime
Ministers Office that was and is ‘dishing the out the dirt’ was wonderfully and
powerfully put. And poor Jim Mora could do little more than remain silent…it
was most enjoyable…
Have a listen to this very revealing ‘chat’ between Phil Wallington a highly
respected news editor and the hapless Jim
Mora a radio presenter [certainly not a journalist] on national radio. http://www.radionz.co.nz/audio/player/2591037 It proves yet again that we need to be aware
of the ever presence of media ‘Yes men and women’ who make a living out of
pushing political clap-trap on behalf of rich idiots.

| Sleaze ball Cameron Slater: |
Listening to poor old
Jim desperately attempting to shut Phil down, but knowing that Phil is fully
aware of Jim’s style and ignores the heartfelt plea for silence from Jim and
continues to paint a clear verbal picture of John Key dropping off CIA fed information received possibly via
the GCSB or the SIS to Cameron Slater’s
gutter-fed Whale Oil Blog
site and that cubby David Farrar
ex-national party hack at Kiwi Blog,
one or both of them then sharing the same slime with TV 3’s Patrick Gower who like a child
with a new toy runs wild at the mouth. Calling Patrick Gower a TV Journalist is an insult to the many
hundreds of principled journalists working their guts out to produce journalism
praiseworthy of the name. Fox media bribery has now fully embraced the slime
covered gutter media. The Truth Newspaper may have finally died when Cameron
Slater crawled away from it, but its stench still remains embedded in
programmes like the Paul Henry Show, Seven Sharp, Patrick Gower, Whale Oil,
Kiwi Blog, Bill Ralston etc.
But regardless Phil
Wallington gives us reason for optimism, reason to believe that better
days may once again display honesty and openness in the media world.
