Spot the difference....


Below is Dr Brash's original post to the New Zealand Herald (courtesy of WhaleOil).







Now, compare the above post with an extract from the article penned by the NZ Herald.










The difference is that the Herald article left off Dr Brash's third reason "the gross over-spending of the legal limit in the 2005 election".

The Herald article would've been read by a great deal more people, so why they left off what I consider to be Helen's more serious infraction is beyond me.

Misrepresenting and/or selectively quoting Don Brash seem to be the media's favourite past time when he was leader of the opposition. In contrast Key and Clark were given a much easier ride.
