Duncan Garner vs Whaleoil over John Key footage

There have been times when I've been critical of Duncan Garner, there are moments when The Nation seems to lean so hard to the right it makes NZ on Air's funding decisions for political documentaries look progressive. That said, I've never thought Duncan Garner was a liar.

That Cam got it so wrong by claiming Garner was lying after doing the dirty work of the PoA by releasing personal info on the trauma of a wharfie suggests the whale has beached himself and is in need of some actual work or risks being put on a suicide watch.

Poor Cam, he's better than this. His fall from grace this week is akin to watching a full blown Parkinson's Muhammad Ali trying to get back in the ring to proclaim he's still the champ. Take a mental health week off Cam, you need it.

Garners damning piece highlighting the utter deception of Key saying in 2008 to a PSA meeting in never before seen footage that he wasn't going to cut jobs and sell assets as they were stupid ideas is further proof that sleepy hobbits reap what they sow. It must be important because the Government's chief propagandist, the bore of babylon, David Farrar has leapt on line to start the spin job trying to wipe this arsehole clean before the rest of NZ gets a whiff of it.

Sadly because of the selfish way the mainstream media run in this country, the NZ Herald and TVNZ are unlikely to pick up the hard work Garner has done in unearthing this because he works for TV3, so this footage needs to be uploaded on line and into the social media networks to play endlessly.

Watching the gloss ooze off Key is almost worth having to tolerate his failed ideology. Almost.

That 3rd term is looking further and further away, National strategists must be thinking of ways of rebuilding bridges with NZ First. Watch this space.
