This episode on the troubles within TPM was shallow and didn't interview any of the politicians involved. Nor was there any analysis of criticism of the party's perceived failures. It looked quite racist.
My go-to for deep dives.
Great podcast, covers such a variety and gets to the core of issues and real life communities in Aotearoa NZ. Just hit follow you won’t regret it!
What a shockingly appalling episode. I thought this was going to be god journalism. No push back against the republican strategist. Just permission to spout further lies. Where was the question actually asking what specific policies Trump is proposing as opposed to the hyperbole and none sense rhetoric he spouts. Sad that you showed such a lack of journalism here.
Consistently rigorous, wide ranging, acutely topical and packed with news I need to know. Well hosted and edited, too. Thanks RNZ!
