Commentary
One News admits not having heard the tapes and yet speculates as to their contents. Is speculation news? Guyon Espiner’s live cross was merely a promo for the upcoming minor leader’s debate. Kim Vinnell’s coverage of the bizarrely ongoing Zac Guilford story included messages of support from other sports stars on twitter and facebook.
Patrick Gower’s grilling of John Banks managed to get some contradictions. Duncan Garner again admited that he didn’t believe the tapes would be that damaging to Key despite almost begging for permission to release their contents. Despite this admission, the first three stories were related to them. The alcohol problems of a rugby player unbelievably took the fourth and fifth story.
Verdict
