If you want proof that people will see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear, I’ve got it for you. And it’s to do with last night’s leaders’ debate on TV3. Which, by the way, blew last week’s debate on TV1 out of the water, didn't it? Not just because Chris Hipkins appeared to be awake this time. But also because it had a much bette…
