Oh Dear.
Over at the painfully serious Left Standard, ‘this’ is what they consider a ‘victory’.
Complaint about RNZ use of Bryce Edwards article upheld
I am not sure what is happening at Radio New Zealand. It may be that the proposed merger with Television New Zealand is playing on staff morale. These sorts of king mergers tend to shake jobs loose and can understandably cause stress to staff.
But it still has a job of impartially reporting the news and call me biased but I sense a considerable amount of anti Government commentary.
Two recent incidents back this feeling up.
…when the painfully serious Left are holding up petty editorial wins on technical language regarding Labour’s promises and its poorly planned underwhelming results, you know the Left are fucked.
Never mind the 24 000 waiting for emergency housing, the thousands doomed to motel life existence or the 200 000 kids in poverty or the outrageous imbalance of power between the richest 10% or the rest of us, never mind entire generations locked out of home ownership – NO FUCK ALL THAT COMRADES! BRYCE EDWARDS WAS PUNISHED FOR A TINY EDITORIAL INFRINGEMENT!
The NZ Left are either woke indentitarians doing all they can to alienate voters from the Left or ‘serious Left’ tragics who think winning a media complaint against a well respected researcher who has a point about Labour’s crap delivery is somehow a great victory for Labour.
For Christ’s sakes, these woke muppets claim Bryce is RIGHT wing because he has challenged Labour over genuine policy failure through a class analysis! His coverage of the Dumb Lives Matter protest was remarkable and narrative shattering. For daring to challenge the Identitarians on the Left he has been attacked by the woke who have attempted to deplatform him on every media platform while trying to get him sacked from his job!
If Labour, the Greens AND the Māori Party form a Government next year, it will be despite their activists, not because of them.

That is hair spliting on a grand scale. It was the vibe of what Labour said and how it was said Greg, surely even you get that? I recall Labour most definitely were going to take to the supermarket duopoly once and for all but because I did not read the fine print, I too thought they were going to break it up with real solutions, ie, create, provide, entice a third player, not pointless political charades that were enthusiastically embraced by the aforementioned duopoly. Fool me!
I rarely if ever look at The Standard because its a dull and awful echo chamber. Sadly the author of that blog can see no problems, ever, with this government, no matter how far off the mark they are, which is situation normal for Labour. But being a lawyer a technical error by an analyst is a hanging offence not a whole fail to launch like Labour’s typical MO.
Labour talked a hurricane and delivered a fart and that will be one of the main reasons it sinks next year. The ultra boring, unquestioning Standard will have to come to grips with that reality, not attack political messengers!
That piss poor excuse for a blog site has done as much as RNZ, NZ Herald, 1zb talkback, Every mainstream tv channel in NZ to utterly bollox up sensible, and rational debate, which is necessary if we are to get some common sense back into how we are administered…
Any so called “left wing” blog that can’t tell the differe3nce between sosialism and extreme right wing nutjobbery shouldn’t be allowed near a typewriter and a dictionary.. LPrent herself called me a right wing nut job the last but one time I visited the site.. I called him/her on it, as HE/she is the first person in my entire life to be so utterly confused as to mistake me for a mossback tory… Ego driven social climbing.. In saying that, they were closely connected to a labour party still rotton with neo liberal traitors.. I should have taken the hint and avoided them like the plague on our houses they are.. They will have delivered over half a million votes to the nats during John Keys rampage through our ability to look after ourselves properly… Thanks to the hacks in a blog site that has brought shame to a name that used to mean something to the working people of NZ….
Anything those fuckwits say is going to bring the Nats back even faster then the “real media”could…
LOL. Stef being called a right wing troll – I’ve heard it all now.
Yep, it took me a little while to stop laughing…
Not to mention their vile pro-war propaganda.

Peters took part in the right-wing lead Dumb lives matter protest at parliament. Dont forget Winston was in the NATZ party. As for Edwards, he hasn’t apologised to our Prime Minister for the false lies he expressed overseas about Jacinda regarding a right-wing dirty politics conspiracy.
