There is a stark difference between Jacinda Ardern refusing to be interviewed by NewstalkZB’s Mike Hosking, and Judith Collins deciding to pull out of interviews with Radio NZ (Susie Ferguson) and Newshub (Tova O’Brien). In the case of Ardern she is the Prime Minister, not the leader of the opposition. She therefore has to be […]
Whereas they may provide occasional token disagreement with the Labour govt for the purposes of propriety, the New Zealand mainstream media is umbilically connected to the ideology of the left. Especially that part that encompasses Marxist progressivism, or the idea of the new society, and this connection permeates every news item they produce. Not happy […]
Dear friends, I would like to apologise to all of the subscribers, followers and readers of this blog for my unexplained absence. Sorry. I should have at least had the decency to offer you an explanation. (TBH, I never expected the number of messages on the issue). Why was I absent? I just needed a […]

Happy Easter Redbaiter – I echo the comments above.
Good blog posts and great bunch of commentators always worth reading. Sure beats having to “do battle” with jerks like Grief & The Hoodoo Man over on KB.

Keep up the good work Red, NZ needs true progressives; those who see that the place is heading in the wrong direction, turn around, and try a better path, which in the end will be the conservative path.

Hope you all had a great Easter.
Thanks so much for the encouragement guys and girls. You don’t know what it means to me.
Your comments on any issue are always greatly appreciated too.
EAD- You’re right about Kommieblog. Had a look at Mondays GD tonight. The usual Kommies and loons flooding the place. Just a complete and utter madhouse. You could count the sane people there on your fingers and toes.

The real filth came out in the comments following ProgBlogger Farrar’s breathless wittering on Barry’s capitulation to the Mad Mullahs in Tehran.

There are some great people on Twitter Gantt. If my spirits flag I find a quick look at Twitter will revive them. Along with the commenters who come here and or frequent Crusader Rabbit or Terry’s blog, they are fighting the good fight and fight it so well. I suggest you follow these girls if you don’t already-
