Yes, this evening Paul Henry fell on his sword and resigned from TVNZ.
I think this whole international incident thing was a bit over-the-top. Aren't there more important things going on in the world? More injustices, like that of poor Molly Norris who has had to disappear because of a death threat and on which no mainstream media will comment; not even the Hollywood actors and musicians who pride themselves on standing up for free speech. Silence ...
It is no longer practical in the current environment for me to do the job I was employed to do, and have so enjoyed doing," Mr Henry said tonight.
"It is also difficult for TVNZ to get on with the business of being a first class broadcaster as long as I remain."I admit that Paul could go too far sometimes, but at least he had the ability to cut through a lot of left-wing BS and could often give interview subjects a good grilling when they started spouting PC nonsense. He will be missed in that regard, while TVNZ will probably hire a forelock-tugging, "yes ma'am" broadcaster to replace him.
