Laptops, Lies and the Mainstream Media

Despite what you are continually told, Donald Trump’s presidency was a string of policy successes. If you’re inclined to scoff at that assertion, well, that’s almost certainly due to perhaps the Donald’s greatest success: he single-handedly broke the mainstream media.

Famous Photos That Ruined Lives

Famous Photos That Ruined Lives

The old saying that “the camera never lies” was always debatable: photographic trickery has been around since at least 1839, when Hippolyte Bayard faked a photo of his supposedly drowned corpse. The advent of Photoshop and other software has made the truthfulness of the photographic image even more suspect. But

Hunter’s Laptop: What the Media Didn’t Want You to Know

Hunter’s Laptop: What the Media Didn’t Want You to Know

The Hunter Biden laptop saga is the biggest stain on an already-long-blackened mainstream media. The mainstream media and Big Tech, along with the US Deep State, blatantly lied and deliberately colluded to bury a story that would almost certainly have changed the course of the 2020 presidential election.

Saddle up It’s Time to Join the BFD Posse

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

The Ponderer Apparently, the Selwyn district has the highest vaccination rate in the entire country.

COVID-19 Statistics Are Routinely Exaggerated, and Too Few People Care

covidplanb.co.nz A feature of the covid-19 pandemic has been the relentless highlighting of cases, hospitalisations and deaths of covid-19 with very little context to help interpret the statistics.

The Most Biased NZ Media

The Most Biased NZ Media

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

The Media Are Only Good for Mocking

The Media Are Only Good for Mocking

The way the New Zealand media have carried on in the past two years is an abject disgrace. They’ve become the Government’s lickspittles and poodles. They have failed to hold the Government to account, while vigorously attacking the opposition at every opportunity. They’ve lapped up leaks from
