Ripping Chippy to pieces until he cried over his kids is the saddest day for NZ Journalism ever
The public dismantling of Chris Hipkins over personal allegations was more than a political story — it was a grim warning about what New Zealand journalism becomes when social media smears, pile-ons and family pain are treated as spectacle.
The pack mentality of ripping Chris Hipkins to pieces until he cried over his children is one of the saddest days of Journalism in NZ.
Chris Hipkins media smear shows how social media now drives the narrative
The new evidential threshold is now whatever someone alleges on social media.
The right-wing hate trolls who were pimping this smear are the same ones claiming Benjamin Doyle was abusing their child and inviting others to do so.
This is what we are now, this is what we have become.
Jesus how sick.
The issue here is the new social media political media landscape we now inhabit.
The culture war weapon is no longer owned by one side
For the micro-aggression policing woke coven, the holy Trinity of Identity Politics is:
- All white people are cross burning racists.
- B-E-L-I-E-V-E all women
- Anyone who supports free speech is a uniform wearing Nazi who hates the trans community.
Any jokes about that Trinity gets you automatically cancelled.
It’s not an ex vindictively posting personal issues on social media to damage her former partner, oh no, it’s a strong wahine speaking her truth, and if you say otherwise you are enabling rape culture.
The alt-right have seized the weaponised culture of allegations and are in it for their own political character assassinations.
When children and whānau are dragged in, journalism has already failed
I think when kids are involved, I think when whānau is involved, I think when allegations are involved, it can’t be on social media or else it becomes unforgivable.
It wasn’t that men feared a witch hunt when it came to Me Too, (we had all seen Harvey Weinstein, we knew there were Monsters out there), what men feared was a witch trial where the new evidential threshold was whatever someone said on social media and where due process was a heteronormative white cis male privilege to be attacked.
What an incredibly damaging thing to do.
What a very sad day in politics and journalism.
Suck it up and soldier on Chippy…You got this!
Made me feel physically sick. When medis go ahead print and condemn on ONE PERSONS actuation, without any proof, And delve into people’s private business
.DIRTY POLITICS IS NOT WANTED IN NZ
Way past time to move on from this ridiculous, spiteful storm in a teacup, clearly engineered by Jade’s so called RW FB ‘friends’! She clearly was never fit to be a politician’s wife. So ugly RW stirrers back off. You will have way more to worry about if you vote this corrupt, lying, devious CoC back in!!!
The right wing mining the pain of a miscarriage for money & power.
What a SICK bunch of feral freaks some unprincipled Kiwis have become. Getting their jollies from someone’s emotional misfortune is a real LOW! Anyone who airs their life, and that of their children, on a site as uncontrolled as Facebook, seriously has psychological issues. Facebook is not for ‘real’ adults. Chin up Chippy, it’s obvious you love your children. Your ex wife is not thinking clearly and is way out of touch with reality. Time she acted like an adult, grew up and moved on. You can’t always get what you want in life.
Were they consenting adults? Were any laws broken? Did anyone fly to Epstein Island to abuse young girls?
I mean this dragging out of someone’s personal life and just a making a mountain of a molehill for petty attacks reeks of desperation. This doesn’t change anything in my vote at all. Politics is brutal and the world has far more pressing serious issues going on at the moment that need dealing with. Move it on.
Real dirty pool is what I see. Timing doesn’t seem coincidental either.
Absolutely a political smear hit job and the sleazy owner of the right wing Hearald has his grubby little fingers all over it. Why take the post down, because the damage was already done. How much was the jealous ex wife paid, that is the real question.
How low can you go, all the more reason we need to get rid of the CoC.
Watching Nicoliar being interviewed about the oil crisis and how it’s effecting many NZers she shows doesnt really care she is smiling and carrying on like it’s nothing to see here. As for Chippies ex sounds like a case of sour grapes. And she’s obviously not thinking of the children.
What connection is there between an expartner exposing possible flaws in the person that seeks to be our PM and this governments handling of the oil crisis.
A scorned woman is a dangerous animal and any opinion coming from that person should be accepted with caution. I do not agree with his political perspective but he comes across as a decent person
Exactly, no thought of the children but heaps for her employer, the unhonourable Casey Costello.
