@mike – A shame as I enjoyed and agreed with many of your comments.
TDB is now only selectively publishing comments I make, blocking ones with some criticism I consider justified. That means to me, this blog is no better than Kiwiblog and others, that are partisan and therefore not representative of what people think. You will surely carry on with this, I trust, as we have elections ahead of us, and ignore dissent, and also ignore failures by Labour and Greens, so they get a foot in the door, no matter what they do.
I had thought a bit better of Mr Bradbury and Frank McScasy, but am deeply disappointed, given your total bias and convenience with the truth. I will therefore give this blog no further credibility and sign off for good, as you do not deserve any quality comments, as you are now mainly followed by blinkered thinkers and conspiracy theory adherents.
Good luck with all your future endeavours. I will also not vote Labour or Greens this election, given the BS we get from them. And I will surely endeavour to spread my view of things somewhere else.
???
If you base your vote on how well you are received, then it doesn’t say much for your regards for the future prospects for NZ and the planet.
But you will do as you may.
A bit of provoked thought can help explore where your priorities really are as uncomfortable as it might be. We all can be wrong or feel rejected. Whats new.
@ MIKE IN AUCKLAND …don’t go…we need you!
…some of my more pertinent comments (imo) …have also been censored out…but I bounce back…a site is only as good as its divergent views and critiques of establishment figures…otherwise it is propaganda and indoctrination ….and half way dead, boring
Mike, it’s unclear to me what this is about…
‘Democrats keep losing’
https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/394333-mainstream-media-russiagate-elections/
“While the liberal mainstream media serve up an endless menu of Trump bashing and ‘Russiagate,’ the Democratic Party and the so-called ‘resistance’ continue to lose elections. Are the attempts to destroy Trump at all costs destroying the Democrats and undermining the credibility of the liberal mainstream media?
