Mate, this is a shocker. Hooton? The same guy who was a National Party spin doctor? Yeah nah, The Post is cooked.
lol cope. he's a spin doctor through and through. gonna be nothing but press releases.
As someone in media, this is either genius or a complete car crash. No in-between. Exciting times I guess?
ffs another political hack getting a top media job. what a joke
nah I don't rate him either. But let's see what happens hey.
I teach media studies and I'm gonna have to explain this disaster to my class. Thanks for nothing, Stuff.

Maybe we should give him a chance? He might surprise us. The Post needs something fresh.
This. I've worked with him before. He's actually sharp, just polarising. Could go either way.
honestly the state of nz journalism is so dire that maybe a madman like Hooton is exactly what we need. or maybe it'll be a trainwreck. either way i'm here for it
Imagine being a journalist at The Post right now. Your new boss is a literal lobbyist. RIP journalism.
get stuffed, the post has some of the best local journalism left in this country
Good. The Post has been irrelevant for years. Maybe he'll actually make it worth reading again.
