Morrissey,
you have completely misrepresented a show that you admit to not even watching in its entirety.

Maybe if you actually watch the show you will see it was far better than the other episodes to date and your two examples are nothing but cherry picked blips. They in no way represent the clear and constructive discussion that was presented.Morrissey9.1.1
you have completely misrepresented a show that you admit to not even watching in its entirety.Like hell I misrepresented it. I made nothing up; Garner was actually far more boorish than I showed him to be.Maybe if you actually watch the show you will see it was far better than the other episodes to date and your two examples are nothing but cherry picked blips.I saw some very intelligent people—especially Ross Bell, Grant Hall and Matt Bowden—trying to make serious points in the face of brutal, stupid, constant interruptions by Duncan Garner. And I saw the smiling, giggling Linda Clark treating him as a mischievous ten-year-old, instead of handling him firmly and ensuring the guests, and the audience, were treated with at least some respect.They in no way represent the clear and constructive discussion that was presented.You have misrepresented what went on in that programme. There certainly were people trying to be constructive, but they don’t have a hope of that happening with this format, and these hosts.- personal perception is an amazing and precious commodity
so regarding Garner,
I interpreted Clark’s behaviour as allowing allowing him the rope he needed to hang himself.I feel what I wrote earlier about the show is a fair representation of what was broadcast
http://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-23052013/#comment-636658- Fair enough, my friend. I share your desire for good, thoughtful, stimulating television. I am just not prepared to indulge underperformers like Linda Clark and thugs like Garner.

Dunne was, at least, weaing some form of neckware, unlike most politicians (and not only polticians) who remove their ties befor appearing on TV, and put them back on when the interview is over.- Dunne was, at least, wearing some form of neckware….Fair enough. That’s a mitigating factor.

Sabin held up a headline saying that 159 drugs had been made illegal in Portugal. I checked. At best, he was being misleading. The law has been changed to stop “Smartshops” selling 160 new artificial drugs that have been shown to cause health problems. There are no criminal sanctions and the open situation with other drugs still holds.
These are the sort of drugs that Dunne allows to be sold. Ha.Clockie9.4
“The screen is filled with Khandallah’s bouffanted, alcohol lobby-backed fop, wearing another of his absurdly dandyish bow-ties, looking like a vision from a bad smack dream”.Whenever I accidentally see Dunne on TV I immediately think of “uncle Andrew” from The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe. Appearance and personality seem to have an uncanny similarity.

Phil Wallington told us this programme would be worth watching. He lied. (May 23, 2013)
