    1. i dunno about any ‘sigh of relief’ @ the victories of cruz and rubio..

      ..they are both even more batshit-crazy than trump..and the thought of either as president is really fucken scary..

      ..and as everyone in republican establishment hates (rejected-repilian-shape-shifter-prototype) cruz..

      ..look for lots of money/support to flow to rubio now…and i repeat..his politics/beliefs are howling at the fucken moon material..

      ..clinton is the biggest loser..when sanders announced his entry into the race she was 50 points ahead of him in iowa..

  5. Listening to RNZ National news coverage today it appears that the current model is being heavily censored by Government as to delete any criticism of Government today.

    Case in point is the distinct lack of hard hitting journalism coverage of the TPPA debarkle currently under way.

    Transparency please Directors of RNZ National is needed to reclaim your former integrity as is here set out to promote a justifiable independent public funded media,- as spelled out here from “Integrity Plus”.

    “Summary
    The media has a critical role to play in the maintenance of the National Integrity
    System in New Zealand. In theory it acts as a watchdog on the powerful, it keeps the
    public informed on political issues, and it provides a forum for the exchange of views.
    In many senses this sector is healthy – it is regarded as both free and independent,
    and much attention is placed by the media on holding the government of the day to
    account as well as uncovering corruption where it might occur in any of the other
    pillars. However, there are areas in which the media is seen as less healthy and robust
    – mostly in the lack of diversity of media and views present in New Zealand, the
    decline of serious investigative journalism, and the reduced state of public and
    community broadcasting. More than anything, economics rather than any direct
    government actions are impeding a strong fourth estate.”

    2. Absolutely agree CLEANGREEN. Information is under attack and an issue we must challenge. Thanks for posting.
