HAVE WE REACHED BOTTOM YET?

 I saw Tim Wilson on TVOne's Breakfast the other day.

This is an old photograph, taken when he had a real job


He was presenting a 5 minute sequence on 'funny' postings on YouTube!
There were 3 clips.

1. A truck crash in Russia.

2. A pet gibbon stroking a cat

3. It was so unmemorable I can't remember what it was.

Wilson as some people may remember has, for the last decade been TVNZ's political reporter in USA.
He is a journalist and has over the years done some good work.

Now, on his return to Godzone, because the prattish new management has decided to dumb down television news, current affairs and, let's face it - everything, he has been reduced to presenting this shit on the execrable Breakfast programme.

No wonder he looked like a bag of busted arseholes with gaunt, unshaven features and bags under his eyes..

  1. Remember him as the teenage son of the minister at my mother's church. He used to do odd jobs for her, funding his future studies. Good writer, tries too hard as a television presenter. They tried him a year or two back when Paul Henry was on leave. I wanted to like him, but he just didn't look comfortable in the role. Was OK as New York correspondent - if we actually needed one.
    Loving the express!
