Stuff Up of the Day

Today’s Stuff up of the day looks like it is an example of an auto-correct going undetected by the writer in a Stuff article about Luxton. The brutal battles to be selected as the National candidate in these seats in the early 2010s destroyed relationships and created faultiness

Factual Reporting Infuriates the Left

Legendary newspaperman Wilbur F. Storey famously said, “It is a newspaper’s duty to print the news and raise hell”. The left-media are conspicuously failing in their duty. The left-media don’t do “facts” any more: as leftist rag The Saturday Paper puts it, they do “narrative journalism”

Things That Make Me Go Hmm

It’s been happening incrementally for a while now, accelerated by The Tokelau media lockout, but the worm has definitely turned. Ardern’s mug purposely and prominently associated with this latest stuff up is very, very telling….and delicious. Richard

Today’s Stuff up of the day is from Stuff who went to the trouble to redact out all the rude bits when quoting a tweet, but who also published the original in all its glory for the world to see.

They’re Onto Us!

Well, it’s official, BFD folk: we’re all fascists. This particular pearl of wisdom comes, surprise, surprise, courtesy of the left-media and its pet academics. Putting on their shiny, foil un-thinking-caps, the great minds of the left have come to the utterly unsurprising conclusion that anyone

Todays Stuff Up is from… Stuff. You would think that Stuff being a local media outlet would recognise the Canterbury Clothing logo when they see it but you would be wrong.

Today’s Stuff Up of the day is an interesting one because it is not clear who is right and who is wrong. Two articles were written about the same subject, one by the NZ Herald, and the other by SunLive.  Both articles used the exact same quote BUT attributed

Captain Cindy’s Cut and Paste Question Answering for Dummies

Suze, our long-suffering transcript writer extraordinaire, has what I consider to be the most difficult job here at The BFD. I can’t stand listening to Captain Cindy’s voice blathering on saying nothing for minutes at a time, but poor old Suze not only has to listen to

Today’s Stuff up of the day is from Stuff where they use a photo of a flock of red-billed gulls which are native to NZ to illustrate a news story about gulls in Paris. You certainly would not see red-billed gulls in Paris.

Chin Up, Businesses…

Duncan Garner has written one of the silliest and most patronising articles of all time. At a time when the OCR has reached an all-time low, and everyone knows it cannot mean happy times ahead, Garner has bought into the myth that, as business hates Labour governments, all that
