Saddle up It’s Time to Join the BFD Posse

Money for Nothing and Their Editors for Free

You will see from the information below that the Government is paying the salaries of MSM Editors so that the Media organisations themselves do not have to fund the positions themselves from their own revenue. This means that the minute the Government stops the funding the Editors will lose their

It’s fun to watch videos of American graduates being asked geography questions. Not only do many of these students think that Australia is in Europe, that Africa is a country rather than a continent, and that NZ is in Middle Earth (we’ll give them a pass on that

The Director of Health stood on the Pulpit of Truth and not once corrected the lies and absolute fear-mongering that Prime Minister Ardern was uttering.  Now we have Bloomfield’s key staff resigning before they have the opportunity to correct their enormous mistakes.

Don’t Let Them off the Hook So Easy

In the Greens’ policy literature, the invocation of the phrase “critical thinking” stands out, again and again. Adam Bandt yesterday demonstrated the opposite. When Bandt dismissed a journalist’s question by sneering, “Google

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.

What NZ Media Still Won’t Tell You — And What I Got Wrong

As I reported yesterday, Stuff carefully avoided already-widely circulated descriptions of the Brooklyn subway attacker. Even when the FBI released his name and image, Stuff just quietly updated its report with the FBI’s tweet — and no comment. But that doesn’t mean that my own coverage didn’t

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’
