The hypocrisy of the Woke Left is as disgusting as the Feral Right.

“It’s only free speech when we agree with what you are saying”, isn’t of any value to anyone.

A plague on both their fucking houses!

I’m not sure public safety adverts should center on personal advantage as a moral compass, but‬ I suppose after a decade of  National, self interest is the only thing young men understand.

Mungo no understand – Winston was PM and Western Civilisation didn’t end?

By Martyn Bradbury  /  July 31, 2018  /  Martyn Bradbury, Media Watch, Most Recent Blogs  /  16 Comments

Winston was a great Acting Prime Minister, there was nothing to ever worry about and watching those same right wing pundits trying to back peddle from their previous criticisms, even though they were made only 6 weeks ago, is a reminder of the echo chamber of the elite media pundits and just how limited the actual range of opinions the mainstream media provide.

Whose column was more pointless? Art Critic Soper or Truancy Officer du Plessis-Allan?

I get the Troll Farm at the NZ Herald need to churn out hate against the Left every day, but deciphering scribbles and criticising a Minister for not participating in a process he’s not allowed to participate in is pretty desperate even for the Troll Farm.

When his wife isn’t complaining about prisoners not being beaten with rubber hoses and waterboarded, Trump defender and NZs answer to what would you get if Piers Morgan and a meth smoking scorpion had a baby, Mike Hosking, is at the NZ Herald Troll Farm today complaining about a holiday he had in Hawaii.
