TVNZ political editor Maiki Sherman resigns
TVNZ political editor Maiki Sherman resigned after a suspension from Parliament amid formal complaints about her reporting. The controversy included an allegation that Sherman used a racial slur and prompted scrutiny from MPs and colleagues. TVNZ confirmed it has parted ways with Sherman following the dispute. Her exit removes a high-profile Māori political voice in an election year and raises questions about newsroom independence and journalists’ access to Parliament.
What's weird is I always had the impression Maiki Sherman was pretty conservative in her questioning
Nicola Gaston12The chaos or the evidence that they could take a scalp was possibly more important than the target
Kevin Veale 😷 (Toitū Te Tiriti)12I think they went looking for dirt they could use for traction and who the dirt was associated with was a secondary concern. Although the fact she's 'political' rather than white and male can't have hurt.
Lauren M4I think the fact that Walls is ready and waiting probably has something to do with it. Sherman was disappointing in the position because she WAS so milquetoast but obviously nothing less than full grovel is going to satisfy the wannabe-fash in charge, especially when they have a toadie ready
Foxes2She was, it was like she learned at the knee of Mutch-McKay, if she is replaced I don't think it will be to their advantage, I suspect that Benedict (Cumber)Collins is the senior reporter
Fomison's Clown2It's not about the person. It's about the company she works for.
Sophie these days2Not conservative enough 🤷♀️ And demanding accountability from a National cabinet minister is a bit risky right now 😒
