Radio New Zealand presenter Corin Dann is in recovery mode today, after a heated exchange with New Zealand First leader Winston Peters.
The interview made headlines as Peters expressed his desire to cut funding to Radio New Zealand, calling it “an abuse to the taxpayer” for its “woke leftist ideology”.
Dann was called “a disgrace to the mainstream media” and accused of being biased towards left wing political parties.
As a way to bounce back from mean old Winston Peters, Dann has now booked in three interviews for the next three weeks with none other than the leader of the Greens, lovely Chloe Swarbrick.
“This will be good I think. A good way to just reset and get back on an even keel,” said Dann, still shaken from being told he’s a waste of taxpayer’s money.
“I just need a few nice chats with Chloe, where we can nod along together and agree on things. That’s what the listeners want, pleasant conversations.”
Dann says he will need a bit of time before he interviews Winston again, and a few strong cups of tea with Chloe.
“Look, Winston’s always going to be Winston, but honestly, I think he’s getting worse in his old age,” said Dann, shaking his head.
“Imagine thinking that letting men into women’s bathrooms was a bad idea!” he laughed.
Peters meanwhile took some time out of his social media drafting session to say this to the Whakataki Times:
“Whaka what? What a load of bulldust! If you woke lunatics in the mainstream media could do your jobs properly for once in your lives, then you’d already know my view on this.
“Heard of social media? I’ll say it again. Corin Dann is an arrogant, wokester loser.
“Have a great day.”
More to come.
