on global warming.
the abc apparently got muscled into airing the great global warming swindle, despite it being widely panned.
some liberal party culture-warriors on the board, apparently.
It gets worse ...
Inside the broadcaster there are also reports of tension between Tony Jones, who usually hosts Lateline, and the head of factual entertainment, Denise Eriksen, over his reportedly tough questioning of Durkin when he travelled to England last week.
According to the independent news website Crikey, Eriksen also travelled to London and, without Jones' knowledge, apologised to Durkin for the "rough treatment".
"Edit suites have been resounding all week to screams of outrage from Eriksen demanding that tough responses be cut out. Jones has more than once needed to make clear he will 'walk' rather than agree to a sanitised show," an "ABC insider" reportedly told Crikey.
"Eriksen has even gone as far as demanding a written rundown from Jones as to how he intends to conduct the live to air discussion after the Swindle film airs. He has refused to comply. The stand-off may lead to a sudden change of presenter on Thursday night, so stay tuned."
What a bloody disgrace. Not only are they airing a seriously compromised programme to curry favour with the government, they're not letting their own interviewer ask proper questions of the producer.

Nice to se this is linked from the Times Online homepage.
Indeed. But the Times has long been pretty good on this. It was where Brian Deer started investigating Wakefield et al in the first place.

er ... sounds like it's the DomPost not TVNZ who should be embarrassed.
Yes. Their TV highlights stuff usually reads like a cut and paste job, just not *quite* this obviously.

you might want to read this interesting article.
Thanks Che - that Crikey piece is extraordinary. Anyone inclined to give Howard the benefit of the doubt should be sat down and forced to read it.

Wow. That's really very embarrassing.
