She demands loyalty, but it was her disloyalty to her former leader that was key in bringing about his downfall. Bridges was stabbed in the back by a pack of liberal leftists in the party who had undermined him for almost the whole two years of his leadership. Judith Collins was one of those leftists, […]
The widespread use of the term “war on drugs’, usually followed by the claim that said war has failed, is in the main a piece of partisan propaganda. Usually used by (so called) Libertarians & other drug use advocates, its not really true, for there is no war on drugs in the West, there never […]
New Zealand’s media is pretty much fully captured by the progressive left. Most political comment especially is delivered from this perspective, and as such political ideas have also infiltrated our science institutions, there exists a coalition between media and science that keeps the NZ public completely in the dark as to alternative views on scientific […]

Good article and discussion in Quadrant about outrageous bias of Australian broadcaster ABC. Author James Allen.
More of Mark Scott? Surely Not
Could it be that Tony Abbott’s cabinet is infested with closet masochists, the sort who enjoy being beaten up by the national broadcaster its current managing director has so steadfastly refused to reform? It is the only way to explain this talk of extending his contract.

No, I’d missed it. I’d not even caught wind of that story. Thanks.
Now I don’t feel too badly about providing you with some of the warning signs.
I’d already written him off because when he was in a position to take an important leadership stand, he folded, and in a way that left me thinking “this man is in the tank or far more gullible than he has a right to be given the promise we invested in him.” Here’s the link with the video of the man explaining his cave: Allen West: ‘Screw the TEA Party; Save the GOP’.
And here is an even early caveat that, in a way, proves that having a somewhat jaundiced eye helps stave off possible disappointment and, worse, total disgust with the process.
Please inform me via email if I chose correctly in not showing you these sooner.
