Fake News of the Day

The headline falsely states that sewage is being put down city drains which falsely leads the public to believe that sewage is now going into the sea. They also deliberately link those in the hospital with the sewage to make readers think that the two things are related. In the

The BFD serves a broad church of political views that includes libertarian, centre-right, and conservative readers of whom the majority are

Our Readers Have Champagne Tastes but the BFD Has 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

The BFD is 95% powered by member dollars and the remaining 5% comes from ad revenue. The Spinoff doesn’t have genuine subscriptions because all their content is free to read. Take a look at the true source of their funding. Hint, it is not their readership. Last year The

Saddle up It’s Time to Join the BFD Posse

They go after individual’s jobs by complaining to their employers. Last year a Youtuber in New Zealand lost his job after a concerted effort by activists including Maori Party co-leader Debbie

The Covid Charlatans of Wellington

So why are those crazies in Wellington still keeping the mandates along with the isolation and mask-wearing? Each day these restrictions continue is evidence that those in Wellington are a pack of charlatans not wanting to give up the power they believe they have over each of us. If you

Why We Need Your Support

The landscape for conservative media is getting darker and darker. The BFD is faced with competitors that are hock deep in Government funded troughs and social media giants that stifle freedom of expression. Last year The BFD copped a second 30-day ban on Facebook. Our first one was for posting
