I love watching old documentaries on youth cultures from the 1950s and 60s, with rockers and hippies, into the 1980s with punks and goths. The earnest cluelessness of the “squares” as they try to keep Mr and Mrs Suburbia clued in on “what the young people are doing today” is

What a weird, contradictory time to be alive. We live in an age of readily-available information — and an avalanche of lies and mistruths from those who fancy themselves the “gatekeepers of truth”. One need, of course, look no further than the mainstream media’s reporting of all things pandemic to
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. This month The BFD copped a second 30-day ban on Facebook. Our first one was for posting

Last year 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 BFD
Freedom of speech and movement are fundamental rights in a liberal democracy and many New Zealanders fought and died so that we may continue to enjoy them.

The Spinoff has the same size audience as The BFD but the similarities end there. The BFD is funded 95% by our one thousand plus members and 5% by our advertising revenue. The BFD serves a broad church of political views that includes libertarian, centre-right, and conservative readers of whom
Thanks, to an increasingly irresponsible media—Omicron has now terrified the civilised world, setting off cries for more lockdowns and general harum-scarum, even though the international “death toll” of this bug is so far a grand total of… one (maybe). Omicron is a very mild strain of Covid 19 and
Public Interest Journalism Propaganda has received an $18m boost with the announcement of funding for an additional 110 journalists across New Zealand with “a specific mandate to produce stories that keep New Zealanders informed and engaged, and support a healthy democracy”.

Cancel culture makes people and organisations vulnerable. Activists go after organisations’ ad revenue by complaining to their advertisers. They go after individual’s jobs by complaining to their employers. This year a Youtuber in New Zealand lost his job after a concerted effort by activists including Maori Party co-leader Debbie
It takes a special kind of chutzpah to accuse others of “inaccuracy”, “disinformation” and “writing with an agenda” when those are exactly the tools you’re using to attack them. But then, this is the New Zealand mainstream media and left-cultural establishment we’re talking about. These sorts of deceitful
