Help Make Us Cancel Proof

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

Do You Trust 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

The Media Don’t Even Want to Tell the Truth

A good rule of thumb for dealing with the left-media (oops, a tautology) is that when they are screaming and accusing (which is most of the time), they’re screeching into a mirror. Case in point: the mainstream media’s recent gibbering about “entering a post-truth world”. Naturally,

Another Woke Troughocracy Eats Itself

Ah, me, there’s no greater spectator sport than watching the left eat itself. If only they did it with their own money. SBS is Australia’s taxpayer-funded “multicultural” broadcaster. Which means that it’s even woke-er than the ABC – and watched by even fewer people. SBS has

Another Science Headline You Shouldn’t Believe

Another Science Headline You Shouldn’t Believe

As I’ve repeatedly warned: Never believe a headline. Especially a headline which makes an unbelievably exciting science claim. If it sounds unbelievable, that’s because it almost certainly is. Case in point: Nasa says newly discovered ‘weird’ planet with ‘unknown’ atmosphere is remarkably similar to Earth. A ‘weird’ planet

The BFD Stuff Up of the Day

The BFD Stuff Up of the Day

Where exactly did the tornado happen? In this article, the NZ Herald seems to think the tornado ripped through Papakura. I thought it was Papatoetoe. (To cover its bases it states it happened in both places). Please share this BFD Stuff up so others can discover The BFD.
