In fact, NZME and the rest of the media instead just dutifully reported Penk's new savings number of $15,000.

So Penk said we'd save $50k, it was really $2-15k, the media (sans RNZ) ignore his lie, and then give him praise for saving (the upper limit of) $15k.

"Top performer"

Oh, and Chris Penk is also this guy.

If the media wanted to, they could cast him as "out of touch" and "error-prone", and encourage Luxon to dump him, but because they know he's gonna be promoted today, they praise him.
