We live in the era of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth, where lies become facts, and two plus two equals whatever our masters tell us it does. The only real difference is that the Ministry of Truth has been outsourced to the private sector – the legacy media. The legacy media
Today’s Stuff up is more of a diabolical liberty that has been taken with the truth. Nowhere in the article does it actually state that Hansen supports or “backs” Perenara’s Ihumatao wristband protest. Unless just saying you’re “unfazed” means something else these days… All Blacks coach Steve
To mangle Churchill’s famous aphorism, if you’re in the media and you’re a socialist, you have no brain. If you’re in the media and you’re not a socialist, you have no friends. As Australian media figure Joe Hildebrand slowly swallows the red pill, he’s
One must be careful not to express hurty feelings in today’s snowflake world. At least that is what Alan Jones is finding out. He’s been told by his employer that if he makes any more remarks along the lines of suggesting Scott Morrison should shove a sock down
Alison Mau has finally written about the latest sex scandal in Labour’s ranks and it is a very carefully written piece that lacks emotion and plays down the facts. I cannot help but compare her opinion piece to news articles full of hyperbole written years back about John Key
Well, well… Alison Mau has finally come out and spoken about the Labour Party sexual harassment scandal going on behind its doors. I wasn’t sure if she would, as she said very little if anything about the Young Labour sex scandal last year. However, as the face of #metoo
Today’s Stuff up of the day is from the NZ Herald where if you didn’t understand what you were reading the first time then don’t worry…they will helpfully repeat it for you in the next sentence.
Yesterday Stuff tut-tutted away about a horse named ‘The Terrorist’ (stable-mate of ‘Terror the Christian’) and suggested that the naming was insensitive in view of the March mosque shootings (the horse’s name had actually been registered in 2018, but; never mind) and the connotations thereof. The sanctimonious
Retraction and apology to Donghua Liu for untrue statements On Sunday 13 November 2016, Radio New Zealand (RNZ) published an article on its website under the headline “Donghua Liu returns to China to face charges”. The article claimed that Mr Liu had fled to New Zealand from China and that
Today’s Stuff up of the day is a spectacular fail from Western Springs Speedway when they announced their Grand Opening Fireworks ‘Speculator‘
Can you imagine a Stuff headline that reads: The brown, female, youthful face of local government What about: The black, male, senior face of local government How about this real headline? Why on earth did anyone think that it was okay to critique councils not by their effectiveness or combined
Britain’s police might be a bit pants at stopping actual crimes, like London’s staggering murder rate, or the industrial-scale rape of little girls by Pakistani Muslim gangs, but you have to hand it to them: they’re right on the ball when it comes to people saying
Today’s Stuff up of the day is from Stuff where someone thinks that the city of angels is actually the city of angles.
With the US economy booming it’s hard to imagine a recession but because other markets are not faring anywhere nearly as well, adverse speculation could impact the US. Donald Trump has once again lashed out at the media, but this time to blame reporters for trying to tank the
What is it about our media that, with one or two exceptions, they seem orgasmically wired to our prime minister. The endless items of witless trivia that impregnate the pages of today’s newspapers and magazines belie the true identity of the woman. It’s beyond time that the media
By Macca I really had to laugh on Thursday when both Willaims and Plunket were again trying to figure out why the media in this country are failing miserably and can’t manage to exist without making massive losses. It was sort of like the blind leading their own seeing-
