What Corporate Hollywood tried to do behind your back and why they are trying to paint NZ as pirates
America is fighting a hot soft war in the Pacific by flooding us with their movies, their songs, their TV shows, their internet.

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?

BLOGWATCH: Green Party Candidate attacks Peter Leitch – we will hit over 100 hours of news cycle!
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!

Will Peak Leitch see tag team celebrity death match between Monty Betham and Ruben Wiki vs UFC fighter Mark Hunt?
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.
