Have you ever wondered what an average reader of The BFD looks like? I know I have, which is why I created three polls to get a snapshot of the demographics of our current audience. The first poll asked the gender of our readers and we had 998 responses. So

Activists go after organisations’ ad revenue by complaining to their advertisers. They go after individual’
Judith Collins is clearly over the target, given yesterday’s opinion piece by Joel Maxwell where he tied himself in knots in his attempts to smear Judith and justify the unjustifiable. How did he counter Judith Collins’s statements? Did he have facts to back up his attack? Nope, all
Today, RNZ and both TV news channels lean well to the left, NZME and Stuff have both been captured by a radical interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi, and the Otago Daily Times won’t touch a cartoonist like Garrick Tremain. Don Brash Conservative views are less and less welcome
Today’s crybaby of the week has turned herself into a victim, so much so that she feels that it is an attack on Maori to debate issues relating to separatism and equal rights for both Maori and Pakeha. […] I recall that the people who adorn these walls were the
