Ohhh, I had to read back there - you're talking about RedBaiter, not Russell Brown...
Throws me too, sometimes ...

You missed the best bit russel - how we got Jacqui Dean to ask whether the EACD was planning on banning that dangerous drug... water.
You, sir, are a first-class bloody legend.
The post is here if anyone needs illuminating.

Hah! Has someone told Sonic who Redbaiter is?
Wasn't me, I swear.

But we're not a cult. Most of the time.
No, you're a bunch of cults.
Boom boom!

From the Auckland leg of the Karajoz Great Blend, Russell Brown interviews Dr William Cooper about the future of digital media -- and finds there's IP all over it.

Noted - I hate having my name futzed, and do try to repay the courtesy. And thanks for the pointer - no wonder the poor bugger sounded rather cross.
Illuminating. I agree wholeheartedly about his new style. He's shown he can conduct a searching and useful interview whilst still letting his subject finish a sentence. I've been enjoying it.
Small point of interest: back when we did Off The Wire on the radio, we'd have guest panelists. Some of them (including my least favourite National MP) turned out to be terrible talent, but Sean was very sharp indeed and probably the best guest we had, with the possible exception of Jemaine from the Conchords, who just deadpan burgled it.

While we're ragging on 3news, how about that plane crash-landing the other night. The promo advised "find out how many people got out".
The answer?: all of them.
3 News seems to be progressively adopting every annoying tic of One News circa five years ago -- in this case, pointless and irritating teasers.

Dunno yet about Merhtens, but perhaps there's a first five thing happening. If they're any good they're good at reading the game and what is going to happen next.
I think one welcome thing Mehrts is doing is asking questions in interviews -- rather than barking a proposition at the subject and looking for a nod. John Preston is the worst offender. We've sometimes sat through whole interviews waiting for him to ask an actual questions, and he never does.
Quite liking James Ryan too. But did anyone else think for a while that the TV3 watermark was a silver fern logo he'd shaved in his bonce?

Recording late last week, Craig Ranapia picks Lloyd Jones' emphatic arrival in the Booker shortlist, and muses on the prospect of a nice guy coming first.

I know it's shooting fish in a barrel, but someone at TV3 "News" needs to be smacked hard on the head with a frying pan: the third or fourth item in this evening's news was some crap about whether Paris Hilton might like an NZer for a boyfriend.
Just saw it. An example of everything that's wrong with TV news. Having bagged the Herald's Derek Cheng for a silly Wikipedia beat-up that turned out to be not his idea at all, I'm charitably assuming that Leanne Malcolm was instructed to take that line of questioning.
