The issue Danyl is this is not the first time she has used that term. She used it regarding John Campbell also.

The PM may have been unwise to publicly call Mr Wishart a creep. She also might want to widen her vocabulary.

But by any length of the imagination Mr Wishart is a creep. He uses his own fundamentalist agenda and dresses it up as journalism.

He is infact loathsome and the National party has a long and proud tradition and shouldn

Clark is using up her store of goodwill fast. Calling people names like that just reveals what a vile venal person she is. Parker resigned and she accepted the resignation. Wishart did the public and the Government a service and she should thank him for that. Calling Wishart a creep gives the wrong message Clark.

I don’t find myself agreeing with the PM very often these days, but Wishart IS a creep. He’s like some bizaare left-wing fantasy of a muck-raking, bible-quoting, rubbish-bag searching hack.

Her comments show how she is becoming more dictatorial by the month.
She is also afraid at the lies, corruption and sleaze that Wishart is uncovering of her grubby government.
One man against the forces or Helengrad, it almost paints Wishart as St George.
But her fury will only make him more determined to slay the dragon.

How many on the right find even 10% of Wishart’s drivel actually palatable? Honestly!

Hmm, Vestal Virgin, H1 makes a good point. I wish she was, because they retired at 40 and this one doesn’t want to stop, not even physically when one of her subjects is in front of her.

I do Andrew. I came across Wishart in the 90s, thoroughly enjoying The Paradise Conspiracy, and the follow up books. Discovered Investigate Magazine about 18 months ago and have bought most issues since. Whilst I don’t always agree with his Christian viewpoints, I admire and respect his arguments and faith, and generally find the magazine a good read and welcome antidote to The Listener. It’s a free marketplace of ideas and Investigate will stand or fall on the quality and interest of its stories. So far it appears to be doing well.

What I struggle with his Her claim that people like Ian will stop average NZers from wanting to become MP’s. I thought the thing that stops average people wanting to become Labour MP’s is that you first have to do 20 years service as either a Teacher, Unionist or Academic.

It not like she is interested in average NZers joining her party any way.

Because Wishart is outside of mainstream NZ media, he doesn’t need to continually pull his punches with govt lackies who might give him his next story or grant him an audience with the great leader.

Because he’s free of that sychophancy he’s had more direct impact as a journo over the last year than the rest of the msm combined.

Msm types and Labour can’t stand that and so try and belittle him by calling him anti-gay, a conspiracy theorist, a fundy Christian, or a tinfoil hat wearer. It must drive them nuts that despite his odd views on some issues he’s continually nailing good stories.

All this from a self-published magazine. Hasn’t anyone told him that only established publishing houses can give the imprimatur of legitimacy to journalism?

Personally I find Wishart a credible journalist, but each to their own. I try to keep an open mind and read widely, including Investigate. I thought this was a good thing, but perhaps I need to rethink and follow the party line. I responded to your request Andrew honestly and openly, and you respond with derision. That too, speaks volumes.

Musashi, you’re quite right and I appologise for the inappropriate comment. I thank you for your honesty and I should not have made fun of that. However, I still agree with Candid’s comment.

Um, err.., these days we call them “differently coloured persons”.

H1’s reaction is absolutely typical though, when caught out in a dishonesty, blame the person who found out. Says volumes about her personal integrity or lack thereof.

Thanks Andrew, your apology is accepted and appreciated. Re Wishart? We disagree, but that’s OK. I enjoy the debate here, just like I enjoy the debate in Investigate’s letters section. It’s all grist to the mill, and the exposure to different points of view I find stimulating and challenging.

I would have thought the old slag could have more appropriately described her industrious and conscientious minister Benson-peep a creep..Wishart is one of the few journalists not afraid to call it as he sees it, most of the others turn a blind eye to the corruption around them in the hope of favours and cushy P>R jobs/. Keep up the good work Ian.

Personally, I think it’s hilarious that the right is so keen to embrace Wishart as their champion.

It’d be like the left being keen to embrace Millsy as it’s champion. Not very likely.

(candid: fair point, a bit of hyperbole on my part. I’ll change “the rest of the msm combined” to “any other individual journalist”)

weizguy: I’m not championing Wishart just pointing out the left is undertaking a smear campaign on him to undermine his effectiveness.
