I’ve seen the Greens do some spectacularly stupid things in the past, but handing over one question to the fucking National Party every Parliamentary Question Time is fuckwitedness at a level I’ve never witnessed.
I feel the only way the NZ media would bother focusing on the 21 Afghan civilians we killed and wounded would be if the SAS had instead of launching an attack on the village gone in with lots of booze, gotten everyone drunk, inappropriately harassed 15 civilians and groped 5 others.
The mainstream media should be embarrassed of themselves.
It would be great if we could get the same energy and focus on that now, cause you know, war crimes.
Can we move onto that now, because as much fun as cyclists who want brain damage is as a news story, I just care a little more about war crimes we commit.
RNZ has a new content sharing deal with The Spinoff where RNZ’s content is shared by The Spinoff and The Spinoff’s content is shared by RNZ. This is the first time that RNZ has hosted content from a commercial news organisation on its website. The content on The Spinoff is funded through commercial sponsorship. While it doesn’t affect RNZ’s own content, it does indicate that a further move towards the commercialisation of RNZ.
…screaming ‘racist’ at the Young Nats for a meme that isn’t racist manages to eclipse the real issues and the substantive history of why we owe the Pacific.
It has been described by the BBC as the “invisible quake” – at least to the outside world. However, more than 100 people have died with landslides engulfing entire villages in the Papua New Guinean Highlands earthquake … PNG journalists have been doing an admirable job reporting the disaster to international media as well as their own people in difficult and risky circumstances.
NZ owes the Pacific and we never acknowledge that.
