He’s claiming

“I subbed several stories that way over the past number of years,” journalist Michael Hall told Checkpoint.

“In fact since I started RNZ and … I have done that for five years and nobody has tapped me on the shoulder and told me that I was doing anything wrong.”

This guy absolutely knew what he was doing.

    I called it in another thread, they’ve got a tankie on the payroll.

    Dude’s torpedoed his career over this, all in the name of supporting Russia, of all people.

      Surely he’s going with the “any publicity is good publicity” angle. Why the hell else would he be fine with his name (admittedly very generic name) getting into the google search results?

        Dude may not understand the vast majority of NZ doesn’t agree with him, it’s hard to know really.

        admittedly very generic name

        It’s hard to google him as you’ll either get results for Dexter/Six Feet Under or The Breakfast Club.
