A question for John Stringer

I have never met John Stringer but I’ve been an avid follower of his blog and I have always seen his contributions to the political argument as having value. Seeing him on TV recently I have been impressed by his articulation and his sincerity. However I have to question his judgment and the judgment of…

Left wing media eats its own, Media Watch on Fairfax

The Monday night program Media Watch is the usual communist propaganda you would expect from the Australian Broadcasting Commission. It constantly attacks private sector media, meaning Rupert Murdoch, whilst deriding claims of ABC bias as a right wing myth. Bloggers who purvey the truth the MSM does not are putting Media Watch and its host…

Canon Media Awards- an exercise in progressive cynicism and vanity

Read through this and have a laugh at the outrageous and cynical self congratulatory artifice on display in an industry already dying for an excess of those very indulgences. A few talented people but the majority are outside of their enthusiastically back slapping peer group, largely irrelevant to any ongoing social discourse. Photography Winner(s) Photographer…

Drinnan- Henry show not making money

I’ve never got Paul Henry, and I don’t know why people watch him. Apparently, along with pain in the arse liberal Mike Hosking, he’s regarded as some kind of right wing political force in NZ’s media. I see them both as occasionally politically incorrect but right wing (in the general sense) no way. I last…

Media speculates on Key’s replacement

I guess after so long beating up our ever timid socialist Prime Minister the media would like to see some results for their efforts. However it seems Key’s popularity with the cronyist welfare addicted corporate sector and the likewise big govt dependent majority of the population at large is hard to dent. So why not…

Nigel Farage goes after politically corrupt BBC

Nigel Farage has confronted the BBC amid ongoing claims the broadcaster is biased towards left-leaning voters. The Ukip leader yesterday cancelled a BBC Radio 1 appearance and spoke out against the corporation announcing that if the UKIP gained enough votes, he would work to see it lose funding and influence. Farage was annoyed at not…

Media progressives cannot be won over says Rush

Rush Limbaugh declared yesterday that any attempt to win over media liberals with reason was doomed to failure. He says they’re immune to logic and only have their own mission in mind, and that is to spread the gospel of progressivism and discredit anyone who opposes it. He says- ….it’s a mistake to go on…

SBS host uses ANZAC day to attack Western armed forces

I’d guess most readers would be familiar with the Australian SBS television network. Like the ABC its a public broadcaster that has been captured by the communists and unremittingly pumps subversive programming into Australian society, under the guise of being a “multi-cultural” broadcaster, as if that’s not enough to shut it down anyway. Scott McIntyre…

Be grateful, the Guardians are looking out for us

Things that make you grit your teeth- A television commercial for the Korando sport utility vehicle built by the South Korean automobile manufacturer SsangYong Motor has been ordered off New Zealand television due to its use of fog lights. The add was filmed overseas but shows a Korando being driven over a variety of terrain…
