Thank you for this post. You make some important and thought-provoking points. I do not know Liz Gunn personally nor have I had any contact with her, but given that I have been transcribing censored and shadow-banned testimonies since 2021 I am very familiar with her many interviews of jab-injured people and in general, I would say her style is indeed emotional and motherly-- bringing out the emotions of the jab-injured person, as well as her own (which, I would add, I find entirely understandable in the circumstances). It has been abundantly clear to me, in the case of her interviews with jab-injured people, that Gunn has been fiercely dedicated to advocating for the injured, for getting the word out about the injustice of their injuries, and more: getting the word out about the further neglect and medical gaslighting these unfortunate people have been and continue to be suffering. Big kudos to her for that.

Alas, I would agree with you that in the case of the announcement of the NZ data drop this same style of interviewing was problematic. I would agree, the whistleblower was not well-served to be presented as highly emotional, and needing to be coached to "breathe." It was a lot to get through before arriving at any discussion of the data. I also found it odd that Gunn stated that she did not know his real name, and that she was fine with that-- to me that made no sense when she was staking her reputation on him and, moreover, with his face appearing on camera, and given his access to the data, his identity would be made clear immediately.

Of note, my impression of Barry Young (aka "Winston Smith") was somewhat altered after having watched the video of the double-interview Liz Gunn did with him and UK MP Andrew Bridgen on the eve of the announcement-- a very interesting video throughout:

One of the things which concerned me when I viewed the Liz Gunn video - was seeing Barry Young's face. Sure, he gave the name "Winston Smith," but in this day and age, you don't show your face unless you want to be caught. I knew he was doomed, as soon as I saw his face. You think the NZ gov't didn't recognise him? Yeah, they found him quite quickly. Is this Liz's fault for not blurring or shadowing his features? Did he not request it? Or was he so desperate to get his news out, that he just said, "eff it, show my face if I must."?
