Trop de Paris!
OPINION: Your old mate's ear has been chewed off recently by farmers voicing their displeasure with the National Party, particularly relating to how they're treating their farmer base.
To badly quote the Bard, they doth protest too much, methinks.
And like all media who took the PJIF dough and try to defend it, they miss the point: As soon as they took the money, from the Government, in return for agreeing to a prescribed editorial position, particularly on constitutional issues like Te Tiriti, they compromised their integrity and therefore their public reputations.
The public knows a Faustian pact when they see one and polls repeatedly show the majority of them think taking PJIF ping has compromised those that took it.
