Critical analysis breaking down New Zealand news coverage, media framing, and political narratives behind the headlines.
…the hypocrisy of National demanding transparency over innocuous text messages when they did everything in their power to hide their text messages when in power would be funny if the media weren’t feeding this double standard.
Many already know who the accused is and the lynch mob comments on social media do no one any good.
While the mainstream media focus ridiculously on a band of littering tourists, real questions about the power of the deep state in this country go utterly ignored.
I feel like this needs to be a reality TV show or a political satire funded by NZ on Air.
Every day another breathless opinion piece tells us Trump is almost finished, that his poll numbers have collapsed, that he is besieged and that the Mueller investigation will destroy him.
Yet this orange tumour of a human being is still in the White House, still in power, still in control.
What happens if the Mueller investigation comes back and finds no Russian collusion?
What an embarrassment for Millennial activism and what a message to those who are serious about making actual change in society, inclusion can’t come at the cost of exclusion. After fighting for the right to wear the Police uniform in the Pride Parade, Police were never going to agree to taking it off and the woke activists pushing for this knew it, here was an email PAPA sent out to their base admitting as much when they stacked the last meeting…

We simply can not juggle multiple ideas that social policy must protect life over property, that teenagers do stupid things and that changing our chase policy – AS MANY OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE – to only chasing violent offenders is too much for your ordinary Kiwi to comprehend all at the same time.
When a teenager runs from NZ cops – they deserve to die. Respect my authority.
Schools shouldn’t feed hungry kids, it’s the parents fault.
You only have something to fear if you have something to hide mass surveillance justifications.
..I’ve often said the only moment this insanity of allowing cops to chase kids to death will ever change is if the victims are white middle class kids, because when it’s brown poor teenagers dying, middle NZ doesn’t give two shits, but the millisecond it’s kids they recognise and can identify with, well then brothers and sisters SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!
