I remember a ‘story’ was ‘just being firmed up’ around the time of NZ Truth’s demise which (as it as breathlessly expressed to me) was going to lay wide open a vast conspiracy/cover up of a terrible [alleged] hounding to suicide by news media & involving high powered lawyers. >>

>>The ‘story’ was incredibly detailed with, supposedly, screenshots of a front page layup of a metropolitan daily hurriedly-scrapped after an urgent late night intervention by a millionaire. The trouble was, key ‘facts’ were very wrong. That didn’t stop the gossip,of course .>>

>> But then, when a foolish columnist referred to/repeated some of the gossip in print — apparently thinking, well, golly, I’ve heard this from so many people, everyone KNOWS this happened —... well oops. That was embarrassing. Alternative facts bite one in the arse.

Yes, Slater Jnr was editor of the failing NZ Truth weekly at the time it wae shuttered for good. He tells me it was a hospital pass, with all sorts of severe problems going on in the background, & I believe that’s true.

I also doubt he *improved* it in any way.

As I recall, Slater Jnr attempted to use the um, ‘platform’ of NZ Truth weekly to boost Judith Collins & defend her from unwelcome attention from other, more traditional real news media. Not that there’s anything wrong with that ... oh, wait

The 'c' story is going strong on Trade Me message board. Some of the comments are libellous. Even when reported TM do not take them done

It isn't, but people read it, and the rumours spread.

Yeah I know, they made there way to me on Twitter and I wouldn't enter any of those Chat Rooms if an incel had me in a headlock.
