The Big Lie of 2020 Exposed

Remember Hunter Biden’s laptop? If you only got your news from Twitter, Facebook, or the legacy media, you almost certainly don’t. Big Tech banned users from even sharing the story. At most, you might be aware that it was all Russian disinformation. Lies, “illusion”, a “farcical retread” of

Would They Lie to Us about Ukraine?

Would They Lie to Us about Ukraine?

As journalist Abby Martin recently observed, “For my entire life I’ve watched the corporate media sell us war after war… every single time it turns out they lied”. What unwarranted cynicism! I mean, it’s not like they lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, or Iraqi soldiers throwing Kuwaiti

Luxon Is No Better Than Ardern or Shaw

Luxon has apparently bought into the global warming scam. He said, “weaning the economy off fossil fuels is necessary to reduce emissions, while aiming for a proper transition”. Ignorant politicians such as that are no asset to any country or its economic standing. In fact, they are as dangerous to

Newshub Most Biased NZ Media

Newshub Most Biased NZ Media

Two years ago a website was set up to measure media bias in New Zealand. Both Kiwiblog and The BFD  were mentioned and rated, as were left-wing blogs and all mainstream media. Back then Newshub was rated as the most biased (towards the left) of all the mainstream media. The

Don’t Let Women Be Erased

What is a Woman? The current nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States says she is “not a biologist” and as such cannot define what a woman is. I am here to help.  My alma mater, Otago University, despite having a medical school, could probably use my help

The Self-Pitying Sanctimony of the Very Privileged

Is there anything more nauseating than the self-pitying sanctimony of the rich and famous? Every time I see Jim Carrey pontificating about how making truckloads of money made him really, really miserable, I don’t know whether to just vomit on the spot, or point out that, for all the

Trust Us to Inform and Entertain You

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’ in
