Matthew Hooton, former National and ACT advisor, appointed editor of Wellington…

Oh brilliant, another political hack with zero journalism experience gets to run a major newspaper. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

you notice this fast once it hits everyday routines.. the matthew part is what ppl will argue about RNZ group chat is gonna go off. The smaller practical details matter more than the headline.

ffs Wellington, you had one job. This guy's never even written a news article and he's the editor? Get stuffed.

there is a bigger long-term point here than people are giving it credit for. boomers quiet on this one hmm

So basically they hired a lobbyist to run a paper. Cool cool cool, nothing dodgy about that.

be kind aye — that matthew angle again
