In Defence of Chrissie Teigen

Andrew Sullivan Cancelled; Not Woke Enough

Duncan Grieve on The Spinoff is losing his mind over Wendy Petrie missing out to Simon Dallow for TVNZ’s plum 6pm news reading spot. He says TVNZ “loses a great anchor and a major opportunity”. (Wendy has been all class and grace in accepting the news.) Yes, but isn’

Newshub and The Spinoff’s Cheese Meltdown
Both The Spinoff and Newshub have lost their collective minds over the price of a block of cheese in the most silly and lightweight mauling of Judith Collins since a labrador puppy slobbered over her slipper. The above headline isn’t even accurate as she made no such claim but
