It does make it harder to demonise an individual, yes.
So: when can we start to demonise what they do? You had the editor of the Dominion Post on your show a few months ago, and I get why you couldn't ask him the only sane question - "So, when are you going to stop hurting New Zealand?" - but it made the interview slightly surreal. The media in this country are in a parlous, embarrassing state. It never gets attacked, we only nibble at the edges. One does wonder if part of the reason for that is that you all know each other and like each other personally and work in the same buildings.

And who's saying otherwise?
One does wonder though about the relevance of "he's a really talented broadcaster" or "he's really funny in person". Who cares? When are we going to start to demand more of our broadcasters and newspaper editors than not being babbling idiots or punching children in the mouth in the street?

Although maybe my perception is skewed
Yes, I do wonder if your perception is slightly skewed. And maybe ours is too, for not working in the industry. From where I sit, your expectations of Mr. Henry seem to be incredibly low. I'm happy he's able to meet them, but.

We're still powerless. Garth McVicar is really not substantially less fake or uncredentialled than Jay Prior but still gets on the air at will.

Heh, nice one though.

Disclaimer: I think Paul Henry is a talented broadcaster. He pushes it, and he goes too far at times, but he's got talent.
This is almost word for word what Russell wrote about Veitch way back then and I'm still buggered if I understand what it means.

Did anybody say Ghostbusters?

But wouldn't publication defeat the point of *any* block?
How so? If the site still cannot be accessed, knowing its name is not going to help you reach it.

I'm with Telstra and I can confirm that I can. Now, to clear my cache!

Have people been charged for armed insurrection whilst not in the possession of weapons? That's my point. I'd much rather the state prosecuted idiots with weapons than idiots with opinions myself.
