Idiot Windbag: Mike Hosking On Democracy
What did Hosking say? Well, he was giving us the benefit of his deep insight and wisdom concerning the recent local government elections. This is what he said:

Patrick Gower’s desperate attempt at relevance and Paul Henry’s hatred of the Homeless
Whatever Trump said to a bunch of Sleepy Hobbits over a decade ago is about as newsworthy as Helen Clark’s collected audio farts of the 1990s. Who cares?

The week NZ turned on Muslims
I have no time for medieval superstition be it Christian, Muslim, Hebrew or Jedi but allowing ourselves to believe the ‘other’ is too alien to interact with is an incredibly dangerous narrative to start investing in because the only solution to that belief is genocide and exclusion.

Top 5 dumbest crap NZ media said about Local Elections wrap up
The media’s ignorance is our ignorance and their chase for clickbait bullshit clouds our ability to have a functioning democracy.

Is it weird to live in a country where a rugby player having sex in a toilet is a bigger story than one of our MPs being kidnapped?
Nothing makes me feel as disorientated in my own culture as the news media focus on banality over actual issues. Watching everyone suddenly develop an opinion on gossip reminds me how easily led our fellow citizens have become.
This is why John Key wins elections.

Will Mike Hosking or Duncan Garner interview the bathroom that the All Black had sex in? How does the bathroom feel?
Has any reporter sniffed the toilet seat?

No you shouldn’t mock Kim Kardashian for being violently robbed, yes you should mock the media focus on this banal crap
No one should be mocked for being violently robbed. It’s a terrifying experience for any human being to endure. Mocking Kim Kardashian for being the victim of such violence is cruel, spiteful and mean spirited.

TV Review: Doubt – The Scott Watson Case
The only reason the NZ police get away with what they do is because the sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind let them.

This is the tiny minded bitter nation that we really are.
