In case anyone is wondering where Barry Soper is, and why he won’t appear on
Good Morning tomorrow, the following articles in the
New Zealand mainstream media will explain it all:
• M. Houlahan:
‘Senator caught in Peters’ media war’,
The New Zealand Herald• T. Watkins and V. Small:
‘Trade deal wins top US backer’,
The Dominion Post Winston Peters seems to have a different grasp of reality from what all the journalists have, while Barry is calling the New Zealand Foreign Minister’s behaviour the strangest he’s encountered in 26 years of international
political reporting.
The Senator mentioned in the headline is neither Republican nor Democrat, but
John McCain (just kidding—
blame the President if you didn’t like that gag).
We’ll no doubt hear more next week but I’ll see if I can mention
this on air!
