I recall during a Newshub interview, where the location could not have been more politically compromised, that I was placed into a camp chair, unlike other participants, for the discussion. After the interview, the show panelists were delightfully quick to draw attention to my slovenly posture as a sign of being too relaxed and disinterested, slid down as I was in my chair. That they had constructed this reality was lost on them, but it provided them a cheap shot at me.
So you can imagine my amusement as I have listened to commentary relating to Newshub’s demise that was akin to a hagiography – the retelling of a saint’s life.
