Bob LeFridge 
Of all the potential candidates in all the world, they picked Hoots.
Like Bari Weiss, he's a columnist with no journalism or newsroom experience. Plus he carries a shitload of political baggage.
What an odd choice.
Stephen@BobLefridge @zl2tod very apt comparison.
But wait. Luke Malpass is the new associate editor. The Atlas Network will be celebrating tonight.
@BobLefridge @zl2tod who radicalised Sinead Boucher eh
Colin Peacock shares the country's surprised reactions to the appointment and reminds us of Hooton's unsuitability for the role.

When Dirty Politician Cameron Slater was made editor of NZ Truth the rag died a rapid and permanent death.
Will the same fate befall Stuff now that Dirty Politician Matthew Hooton has been given editorships?
@zl2tod @BobLefridge I'd guess that with his long PR and campaign background Hooton has a better grasp on what readership wants, to be honest.
