oh cool, another mate from the national party getting a cushy media job. totally not a conflict of interest or anything
that's kind of the problem – he's a smart operator but he's got an agenda.
what a joke. The Post used to be decent. Now it's just a PR arm for National.
exactly. This is how you get propaganda, not news.
I mean, he's a smart guy. But editor-in-chief? For a major paper? That's a bit much.

knowing nz media, he'll probably do a better job than the last guy tbh
Honestly don't care who's in charge as long as they stop with the clickbait headlines
Wait, isn't this the guy who said some wild stuff about beneficiaries? And now he's gatekeeping our news? Great.
Can we just have one news outlet that isn't run by a former politician? Just one?
I used to like The Post. Not anymore. Bye.
us by resigning in protest maybe? lol yeah right
Give the guy a chance, maybe he'll surprise us. Or maybe not. Who knows anymore.
it's actually sad. used to read the sunday star-times with my grandparents.
stuff really out here destroying their own credibility one appointment at a time
