Just a few months ago a mind-bending idea hit New Zealand in the shape of Black Lives Matter. We had primary school teachers organising the youngest members of school to march around the grounds carrying signs expounding the twisted beliefs of the Marxist left.
From Sun Live yesterday. Perhaps they are paid by the word? Please share this BFD Stuff up so others can discover The BFD.
Pause for a moment to consider the hilarity of the mainstream media complaining about “misinformation”. This is, after all, an industry that has made misinformation, indeed flat-out lies, its stock-in-trade. And they have the cheek to accuse Kiwis of “believing misinformation”. Worse, even while they’re accusing others of “misinformation”
We are essentially a lone voice in a sea of left-wing voices. Do you really want us to disappear or would you rather we powered up our voice? Cancel culture makes people and organisations vulnerable. Activists go after organisations’ ad revenue by complaining to their advertisers. They go after individual’
Well that’s not much bloody use now is it? The message was published at 4am far too late to be of any use to anyone. Please share this BFD Stuff up so others can discover The BFD.

No wonder Queensland lost- not only were they “blistering” but they were also “broken” at the same time! Please share this BFD Stuff up so others can discover The BFD.
The latest 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’
It was bound to happen eventually. It just took its sweet time. But I knew, if I kept saying it often enough, it might come to pass. What I’m talking about is my oft-repeated prediction that Jacinda Ardern would do a Kevin Rudd. It’s hard to realise, now
Once again, the mainstream media are catching up to independents like The BFD. No, I’m not talking about the first rumblings of dissent with Jacinda Ardern (I’ll deal with that in another post): What I’m talking about is the mainstream media finally admitting the unthinkable. Unthinkable for
