All that is wrong with the corporate NZ mainstream media in just one story
A 50% price meltdown in Auckland, flatlining dairy prices and a 13% unemployment rate, but don’t worry the banks will be ok?

Come on NZ – I’ve hideously underestimated the ability of social media to lead the lazy summer news rooms of the corporate mainstream media, this could roll on until February!
I’m now saying, we can get 96 hours of the news cycle on this ‘Sir-Peter-Leitch-is-a-racist- butcher-and-we-should-hunt-down-his-family-because-a-23-year-old-cried-on-social-media-gate’ as long as Max Key doesn’t fart in public or an Auckland shed sells for a million dollars.
Michelle Boag is to racial harmony what Trump is to feminism.
Just as Indonesia steps up it’s brutal exploitation in West Papua, they have delivered a bombshell decision to suspend military cooperation with Australia…
…’Traitor Jew Hater’ seems to be a pretty nasty slur and seeing as there isn’t much wriggle room for interpretation, I’ll expect this to receive the same level of media focus as Peter Leitch’s alleged and disputed comments to a 23 year old woman who cried on social media because she felt he was being racist when he said Waiheke Island was a white man’s Island.
Christ on a bicycle, the Prime Minister of Israel threatened us with war last week and the media couldn’t even bring themselves to investigate that, Peter Leitch brainfarts something thoughtless after an afternoon on the sauce and that’s front page fucking news?
I’ve known Suzie for about 3 or 4 years. She has attracted intense scrutiny and harassment from the NZ SIS and GCSB because of her proximity to senior members of Anonymous and Occupy.
There’s a lot of talk, mainly from Kim Dotcom, that he’s going to restart the Internet Party. As someone who was in the engine room of the last attempt, I think the idea that the Internet Party could get 5% in 2017 seems ludicrous in the extreme.
Now with any review of Moana, we need to acknowledge upfront that the cultural appropriation by a multi billion dollar monstrosity like Disney is an abomination. Rich white buggers ripping off another peoples culture to make a buck is sickening and we all wish for plague to infect them and their families for their heteropatriachy white cis male interpretations of Pacifica People etc etc etc.
