Dirty Politics of the Day

A first of its kind campaign is being launched today that will help voters in local body elections identify conspiracy theorists and extremists.

Local Government New Zealand is behind the move […]

Anti-misinformation group FACT Aotearoa has identified candidates with extreme views or association with antivax or anti-government movements.

It had identified 170 candidates of concern and said many were trying to hide their extreme views.

How much lower can the media go?

What they are doing is so-called Dirty Politics on a huge scale. If conservatives were using media to “out” people with socialist views in local body elections and telling people not to vote for them, the socialists would be screaming blue murder, labelling it Dirty Politics, hacking the media involved and handing the stolen information to Nicky Hager so he could write another boring book about it.
