Things That Make Me Go Hmm

My god, that’s pretty rich.  Stuff is running a full-on dirty politics campaign the likes of which this country hasn’t seen before, they even proudly mention “Fire and Fury” in the article, a dirty politics hit-job if there ever was, and Stuff is running around trying

Our Readers get Champagne on a Beer Budget

Last year Stuff reported on the extent of media bludging from government troughs. It is eye-watering just how much taxpayer coin some media organisations have availed themselves of. Media companies large and small claimed funding from the Government’s media package last year. In April 2020, Broadcasting, Communications and

Media You Can Trust?

Media You Can Trust?

The findings on trust in media organisations is out and the left-wing dominated media have taken a flogging. It seems that the public is well attuned to their lying ways and are voting with their feet. Newsroom reports: Less than half the New Zealand public now professes ‘overall trust’

Tim Roxborogh Wears His Bias Loudly

Luxon wears his religion loudly, according to Tim Roxborogh on the weekend collective. My first reaction was: Tim Roxborogh wears his bias loudly. I went to church and Sunday school as a child, but am not religious. I do not judge others for their religious beliefs. We can only surmise

What Happened to the Other Side of the Story?

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to watch the attack mockumentary ‘Fire and Fury’ released by Stuff. It was bad enough in the way they portrayed the individuals in it without then finding out that it had been funded by the taxpayers. Their deliberate omission of the

NZ Joins an Exclusive Club

NZ Joins an Exclusive Club

As uncovered by The BFD, the New Zealand police — not Immigration NZ, apparently, as was earlier claimed — actively sought to have two journalists banned from entering the country. Their internal communications left no doubt that the reasons were entirely political, profiling the journalists as “far-right” (a purely subjective political

Luxon Misses the Boat over Hosking’s Challenge 

Information Opinion Mike Hosking was on a roll last week. With Mallard exiting the House en route to Ireland, he put in a call to Christopher Luxon’s office asking if he would recall Mallard from Ireland when he becomes PM. My immediate thought, with a recent softening in the
