   Deputy Prime Minister Paula Bennett is threatening legal action over an online post accusing her, without evidence, of several historical criminal acts.

   The Social Housing Minister and new Deputy Prime Minister says she didn’t have time to consider the new report.

   According to a cease-and-desist letter sent to a North Island man by lawyers acting for Ms Bennett, a post and video were published on June 30 containing “material highly defamatory of the Deputy Prime Minister”.

   The post has been widely circulated and the letter states it has already had more than 5400 shares.

   “Not only do these allegations very seriously defame the Deputy Prime Minister, but she, and we as her lawyers, will regard it as a form of harassment,” the letter reads.

   “You should immediately remove this content.”

   1. Bugger being allowed or not.

      You can think about it and talk about your thoughts.

      I think she is an unprincipled free loading sociopath long before reading a link. To National that is a strength.

2. Mainstream media under examination:

   ‘Bullhorns: nothing burger’

   “Revealing the truth – CNN and the nothing burger better known as ‘Russiagate’. Also, when Trump tweeted, and Washington melted down. And, what to expect from the Putin-Trump meeting in Hamburg?

   CrossTalking with Dmitry Babich, Victor Olevich, and Mark Sleboda.”

   ‘Counterfeit News Network’

   “In a revealing video, CNN is shown as many critics have claimed: the network is more interested in the bottom line and a political agenda than reporting real news. On this edition of the program, we ask if CNN’s evidence-free war against Donald Trump is really at the expense of real journalism.

   CrossTalking with Steve Malzberg, Lionel, and Richard Goodstein.”
