  • You really dumped on Te Pati Māori

    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.

  • Rubbish interview.

    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.
