Would you think so, unless they're seeding the clouds on us deliberately. relate to mess with us which frankly you know we deserve heather when are you media types going to stop making up fake stories and attempting a coup we're sick of it okay kill i'm gonna let's just wrap up this business i think the prime minister's put this to bed for now so let's just wrap this up okay i think that the prime minister as i said at the start of the show played a blinder in court because i i disagree i mean i agree with winston that it's set a precedent but for now which really like this was a short-term play from the prime minister i think it was a blinder by calling that ruling that leadership vote because it just took the steam out of this thing and it will have taken the steam out of the thing for a while and I think even holding the press conference and then walking away with authority without questions was the smartest thing to do if there was a flaw in his plan It was blaming the media for this and pretending this was all just a media soap opera, dreamt up by the media and nothing was really going on. I think it will work for people who want to believe that nothing was going on. If you really want to believe there was nothing going on, this works for you. But anybody who's been looking at this critically and in an unbiased way will have seen plenty of evidence there was a lot going on. And it just wasn't believable to blame the media, right? Because yesterday he said there were five MPs, today it was a media concoction. concoction the other day he was he was demoting chris bishop massively and punishing him today was a media concoction stewart smith i think was the biggest tell today didn't even turn up to the meeting right he and then was forced clearly forced to release a statement saying nothing none of it happened well he could have said that on friday when he was talking to them in the media were calling him going is thomas clodden right didn't say it then did he last night didn't say it didn't deny it then then today is all of a sudden denying it that's a bit weird four days later But I think the most problematic, I think the biggest reason that it's a problem to have blamed the media is, as Barry Soper said a number of times on this show, the press gallery has been hostile to Chris Luxon from the day that he got the job. They have given him such a hard time. Do you think they are going to go lighter on him now that he's blamed them for all of this? I mean, I think it will make them want to prove something. Anyway, we'll do business confidence next day. News Talk ZB.
