Media Do What They Do Best

The legacy media are resorting to ever-more underhanded tricks in their desperation to run cover for the Biden administration. I’m not just talking about the endless scrambling to “explain” what the president “really” meant by his increasingly demented ramblings. Nor am I talking about their own demented ramblings that,

Have a Good Whinge, Why Don’t You? [Updated]

For someone who claims not to go looking for drama, foghorn media tart Yassmin Abdel-Magied has an odd habit of shooting off her gob in the most attention-seeking ways possible.

Were Maori Really Great Navigators?

How believable is the story of Maori leaving their country of origin Hawaiki and using the stars as a navigational guide to take them to New Zealand? If they were great navigators then why did they never navigate back to their home country? If you enjoyed this article please share

Guess Who Believes in the Great Replacement?

Guess Who Believes in the Great Replacement?

Lately, the legacy media have an all-purpose, no-thinking-needed explanation for absolutely anything and everything: racism! In the case of the horrifying

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor Yesterday’s article #metoo Has a Lot to Answer for spoke well to the hypocrisy of TVNZ in its handling of the Kamahl Santamaria episode. Aside from showing how warped TVNZ’s priority-setting is by their placement of this story at the top of the 6 o’clock
