Hi Duncan
Given that you say
"it is not 3 News' job to censor the news."If we didn't report it we would be failing in our duty…all 3 News can do is broadcast the material and be as balanced and as careful about it as possible,"
I trust that you will be running this story tonight:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz-
election-2008/news/article. cfm?c_id=1501799&objectid= 10541172 That would indeed show balance, and makes far more serious allegations than those stolen for you by Kees Keizer. I live in hope!!
Regards
Tony
I will let you know if and when a reply is received.
UPDATE: 4.00pm has come and gone, and not a dickie-bird from Duncan Garner. Someone else might have to watch 3News tonight to see if he took up the challenge, because I refuse to watch it.

Any one willing to make a wager on this?
Last election the biggest corrpution story was Labour's illegal spend on its pledge card but the Bretherens got the headlines.
Voter coercion is corruption but I haven't noticed radio or other papers carrying the story yet.
Adam - I'll follow Alex's advice! So far the silence from 3News is deafening. I would have thought that this was THE big story of the NZ Campaign today. Maybe it's just as well that I'm not a journo eh!
HP - you're right - this is corruption. Full marks on the Herald for running the story, and black marks for all those media outlets who don't see corruption as newsworthy anymore.
Danny Watson just `skatyed' past it while taking calls on the US election.
Larry Williams and perhaps Leighton Smith tomorrow are the most likely to pick up on it. I cannot imagine TV! and Guyon Espiner wanting to go down that track and no chance of Sainsbury going near it in to nights debate.
Oops - `skated'
No comment from either TV news channel on this. Similarly nothing on the Vela/Peters cash for policy scandal, or the Peters helicopter denials.
