One of These Digital Platforms Is Not like the Other

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

NZ’s Media a Black Hole

Gary Moller garymoller.com When I think of Black Holes, I think of physics and astronomy, and I also think of the infamous prison cell, the Black Hole of Calcutta in which, of 146 British prisoners only 26 survived their overnight ordeal. That was in June 1756. New Zealand has

Council Stuff Up of the Week

Last week in Hokitika we parked up at the river mouth car park (Gibson Quay) but couldn’t figure out why the parking angles are opposite to what they should be (see photo). The angles make it very hard to park and get out again. Either it’s a stuff

Media Surprised to Find No-One Trusts Them

The mainstream media are shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out that people think they’re lying ideologues. As the furore over Joe Rogan shows, they’re worried. But the relentless attacks on Rogan also show that, rather than cop to their own egregious failures, the mainstream media are

What a Dreadful Speech From Ardern

What a Dreadful Speech From Ardern

In the car, I tuned to radio bulletins yet I still had no idea what crazy Ardern had proposed for us long-suffering everyday Kiwis.  The timetable seemed so disorganized, complex and completely over the top. Was this to subtly keep continued control of each and every one of us?

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
