I’m sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust…

There's an incident going down here in New Zealand at the moment concerning a Member of Parliament, John Tamihere. He's made a few 'politically incorrect' statements expressing his opinion. The problem is that he made these statements to a reporter who has then used that information against him and created a political firestorm. I saw the reporter being interviewed last night, and this reporter went to great lengths to imply that Tamihere knew he was being interviewed, and that anything that's happened as a result of this reporter's actions is lying or misinformation by Tamihere. The reporter's repeated attempts to show Tamihere as a liar and politically incompetent seemed far in excess of what's required from a reporter. The facts should speak for themselves, but it seems obvious this is a political 'hatchet job', where information given 'off the record' is being presented as 'on the record', taken out of context and presented to the public for the express purpose of destroying the political career of Tamihere.
