Canadian billionaire makes move to take over board of NZME
- Canadian billionaire makes bid to dump media company NZME board
- Jim Grenon emerged as near 10 pct shareholder this week
- Says he has support of big shareholders for his move
- Earlier said no intention at this stage to make takeover offer
Don’t we have enough alt-right billionaire arseholes manipulating our media as it is?
Grenon joins the ranks of Musk overseas and the Christian Conservative Wright Family here in NZ as just another miserable rich prick who has a gross disgust of poor people and the common good wanting to have their voice heard.
The Centrist is a culture war alt-right news platform that hates poor people, vaccines, Māori and the Trans community with a frisson that would make your average ZB Troll blush.
The Centrist is hate speech merchant disinformation garbage attempting to appear moderate.
Like a burning cross in an Epsom garden, or Cameron Slater in a tuxedo.
Grenon’s seizing of an almost 10% holding in NZME should be deeply concerning and is the latest move by Alt-right astroturfers and wealthy right wingers feeling emboldened by Trump’s victory and ACT’s race baiting to ‘go there’.
The last thing our media needs is another foaming billionaire taking over our Fourth Estate.
The New Zealand Herald was always a right wing rag, it’s first editorial was calling on white Kiwis to start a war with Māori, but under this new Canadian Billionaire, he’s about to make Fox News look reasonable.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Which Atlas aligned rat/s in NZ invited the Canadian to initially buy into an NZ media channel and then possibly take it over I wonder?
Could be end of the Herald really if they do go full Fox. NZME has closed most of its regional papers and sacked scores of experienced journalists–a rotten organisation already.
I hope he fires half the editorial staff to bring in some balance and intellect. Starting with Simon Wilson. Oh and they desperately need a decent cartoonist.
So Wilson telling you the truth is too much for you .I guess you think Ukraine invaded Russia and Palastine never had Palastinians living there for hundreds of years .I suppose Japan bombed its self with atomic bombs and Germany was invaded by Poland .
Balance, yep it would be good to get balance instead of the right wing paid for crap we have to put up with now Handy Andy.
That coup attempt didn’t take long to emerge.
Dont personaly like the herald due to its already right wing bias which clearly will be taken down the rabbit hole the whole way now .Winston and river of filth will become the main reporters and it will be full of hate for all minorities in NZ which will suit the rich and people who farm stolen land .
I’m Right you just keep repeating the same bullshit in the hope one day you might be correct!
Are you one of a million monkeys, randomly hitting keyboards, to try and rewrite world history?
Here is the lesson again.
Commercial media depends for its revenue on advertising which comes from capitalists.
Commercial media cannot afford to piss off capitalist advertisers.
Commercial Media never has been, and never will be, and cannot be anti-capitalist.
The above is called logic and it is used by sane people in their reasoning.
After Trumps victory in November last year John Key said – ‘this is part of a global movement’ – and I felt a shiver run down the back of my spine. The only way the coalition can win the NZ election in 2026 is by owning and controlling the narrative. And that is exactly what they are doing now in real-time. They have arrived in NZ and started operating – the movement is here. I have no idea what we can do TBH.
WHO CARES? The mainstream media in NZ is so bad nobody watches it, unless this billionaire literally ties us up and forces us to watch it or literally comes here and attempts to charge us for TV and internet rights (which is the only way they will even make a dime) it will fail
