    The media skews everything to the Left, so your answer probably lies there.

    Waititi ends the 'debate' with an extended rant which is greeted with cheering and clapping by the hand-picked audience.

    And coming up Jessica Much-Maligned will be there with a hand-picked panel which will tell us what to think about who won the debate & what went on.

    It's all so carefully crafted that you can't be surprised when so many of the sheep wander into the Red and Green pens that have been prepared for them.

    Yes, blatantly open bias.

    It seems Shaws qualifications are as authentic as a Helen Clark painting.

    Some may wish to be dismissive of this.

    But when you consider the level of scrutiny that many, myself included, undergo just to do volunteer work in our community, then you can see a massive double standard.

    He is there for Parliament, Government and Miniterial roles, and the renumeration that goes with it.

    Not right is it?

    He definitely needs to get his comeuppance. But while he blocks any attempts to find out if his MSc is legit or not, and the mainstream media refuse to touch the story, it won't come about by this avenue. But hubris is real, and he will come a cropper in due course I am sure.

    Ex National press secretary Janet Wilson should not have been on the panel. She clearly despises Winston Peters and put the boot into him at every opportunity - much of it personal and vindictive such as saying Peters is looking at his legacy which to date has not been much.

    I normally don't rate Shaw but he was good TV last night. When he said something like - David (Seymour) you are entitled to say stupid things but you are abusing the privilege - it had me giggling.

    It's a shame the greens aren't open to working with national. James shaw comes across well and likeable. Their environmental policies are good & they will do well this election.

    True but apart from James, their MPs are in the wrong party. They have hijacked The Greens for far left and racists ideology, instead of fighting for the environment. Quite sad that we don't have a real environmental party in NZ, like we see all over Europe, where they are often effective environmental champions.

    What you seem to forget is that the Greens are not an environmental party.....
