Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.

 

 

Hey everyone, thank you for contacting us with the problems you are having at the moment with posting comments.

While you may be told your message has been trashed or disallowed or denied, they are in fact all remaining on site.

TDB Recommends NewzEngine.com

So please be patient and your comments will turn up.

We are working on the problem and will have a solution soon.

PS -While we are having this discussion about comments, we have always felt moderated comments were a way to go to avoid trolling. The Internet can be a pretty rude place at times so we wanted to try and reduce that.

How would everyone feel about

a) Direct posts to blogs.

b) Moderation after publishing (if we went down this path we would need volunteer moderators).

c) We are going to start clamping down more on personal abuse between commentators and would like to open up thoughts form you the readers about what you would like to see in terms of comments and what the rules should be.

Please leave comments below. Thoughts on what we will do will be published middle of next month.

Cheers TDB Team

  1. Episode 804

    https://www.rt.com/shows/keiser-report/313976-episode-max-keiser-804/

    Every week Max Keiser looks at all the scandal behind the financial news headlines.

    “In this special episode of the Keiser Report from New York City, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the return of fear as global stock markets begin to wobble. They examine the role of central banks in performing magic tricks that are far too convincing, thus conning investors to misallocate capital. In the second half, Max interviews investment banker and author Chris Whalen about global stock markets and the perhaps unpayable debts of many nations, states and municipalities around the world – including Puerto Rico and Chicago.”

  2. ‘Western-made refugee crisis’

    http://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/313860-western-crisis-eu-refugees/

    “The real and imagined refugee crisis engulfing Europe: What accounts for the EU’s near indifference to the plight of refugees clamoring to enter European countries? Could it be that these people are from countries NATO members have attacked, and turned into failed states or havens for terrorists? These refugees never wanted to leave home in the first place…

    CrossTalking with Sukant Chandan, Anders Lustgarten, and Tim Finch.”

          …really the New Zealand msm is totally incompetent!

          ( it is a PR smokescreen for avoiding the really big controversial confronting issues of this incompetent and immoral government )

  3. Nothing much, just that I’m usually spared the emetic that is t.v, but tonight I’m pulling out all the stops and am currently watching The Story.
    Why don’t they practice some kind of format, rather than just riffing off the cuff through the whole show? It might improve the sense-to- garbled-rubbish ratio and make it slightly more watchable. It’s just buffoonery at the moment. Clearly the two hosts would like to exterminate each other.
