Budget 2025: RNZ Gets a Trim, But the Media Gravy Train Keeps Chugging
This budget move should serve as a warning shot to every media outlet suckling at the government’s teat. You’re on notice: do your damn job. Report the facts, not your feelings.

TVNZ’s board had “complete confidence in Linda’s professional judgment and capabilities” but a “potential for a conflict” existed.
Mainstream media telling themselves comforting lies again.
Suddenly the truth was blindingly obvious. The left doesn’t care about women.
In the end, van Velden’s word wasn’t the scandal. The real scandal is a left so intellectually bankrupt they’d rather debate diction than policy. They’ve lost the plot and, thanks to van Velden’s deft move, everyone can see it.
The ‘respected photojournalist’ who was a Hamas propagandist.
The pay equity debate didn’t sink because of one word. It sank because the left have nothing else to offer. And you, Ian Taylor, are too busy polishing their shoes to see it.
At the heart of it is deception, distortion, and delusion which prey upon people and are as big an existential threat as there is. And the Phony Climate War is an example of it.
A commentary on media double standards in a time of selective outrage.
The lesson here? If the legacy media wants to sling slurs and gendered insults, they’d better be ready for the blowback. And if they’re going to cry foul when someone like van Velden fights back, they might want to take a long, hard, look in the mirror.
Lying by omission about the persecution of white farmers.
Pursuing this to its logical conclusion, since every news outlet must at some point offend someone, trust in ‘The Media’ will eventually decline to zero.
