   Seriously I am so sad to say that from tonight I shall no longer be voting Labour,I have all my voting life.
   My patience has run out.
   Im sorry, TERRY.

   [If I had a dollar for every supposed former Labour Party voter who will no longer vote for Labour because of god knows what and who then says it on this site I would be a very wealthy person … MS]

   No make-up Lynch desperately tries damage control of yet another potential dog-shit result for National, quoting Key and Parmar ad infinitum in her ‘piece’, but not one quote or message from either Michael Wood, or Andrew Little.

   Jenna Lynch is heavily pro-Key just like all the other female journalists in the press gallery. Maybe there’s something in the water.

   And here’s the other young National Party groupie, Nicholas Jones, feeding exactly the same quotes from ponytail guy as no make-up Jenna did.

   Perhaps they didn’t ring each other before publishing to work out how to felate John Key slightly differently so people might not notice.

     ”’Key won’t be at Parmar’s – he said he doesn’t attend byelection night functions and that wasn’t a reflection on his MP’s chances or campaign. Key has attended byelection functions in the past, including when Jami-Lee Ross won Botany in 2011.”’

     At least he pointed out that key is lying , although if it had have been any other polly the lying would have been the banner headline

     Key Sycophant Jones has been writing National Party Puff piece press releases all week for Parmar and Key. If he is not on the National Party payroll already he should be and if he is on it is he deserves a bonus.

       It would be interesting to know if there are backhanders from the National Party to these journalists or their organisations.

         Of course there are backhanders for MSM journos who ‘toe the Nat party line’. In the case of some of them its the reason they have MSM jobs. If they were appointed on the basis of competence and talent at least half of them would have been fired by now.

           “Of course there are backhanders for MSM journos who ‘toe the Nat party line’. ”

           Anything to back up that accusation?

           It’s worth exploring.

           There’s the pm using the RNZAF as his personal people mover to cart around approved sycophants from the media on his ‘business trips’. There are many baubles associated with being embedded with John Key in this way, but proof of outright incentive payments or gift inducements from the National Party to journalists would be major scandal…

           Perhaps it will come out one day.

             Remember the bottles of wine to all MSM journalists? I bet that isn’t all they have received over the years either – at least those who were/are prepared to fall into line.

     Really ? you are having a go and calling her names because she stood up for a Labour MP who commented about her not wearing makeup.

     You have officially lost the plot.

     Try talking to the substance – as opposed to playing the person.

         At least I don’t abuse people and make comments about their physical appearance.

         I try to be polite on here – but if you want to have a go and start name calling a woman simply because you dont like that she complained about somebody having a crack about her appearance – because you support that persons politics over the governments – then thats a pretty shitty reflection on you.

         Do you treat women on your life like that – or only if they disagree with you political views?

           I’m glad you’ve admitted Jenna Lynch is a National Party mouth piece. That’s some progress at least.

           Now, given that she abuses her journalistic position in such a way, why should she be immune to criticism? I don’t care if she wears make-up or not but for her to have a thin-skinned hissy fit and rush to print when Nash said she ‘looked a bit rough’ is the height of vindictive insecurity.

           When I look tired I get told so in my job. I don’t throw my toys out of the cot though.

           Jenna did.

             “I’m glad you’ve admitted Jenna Lynch is a National Party mouth piece. That’s some progress at least.”

             You hard of reading ?

             I was saying “because YOU support that persons politics (being the labour MP) over the governments “

               1 December 2016 at 8:11 pm

               You readily agreed Lynch “disagrees with my political views’. Therefore you claim she is a rightwing person.

               The public has the right to expect that political leanings from journalists either be left at the front door or announced in the copy.

               Lynch and Jones do neither.

             Gee – you saying that women should just stand by and have people remark on their apperance – esp if its not up to the standards they want.

             So when women stand up and say its “NOT OK” – they are vindictive ?

             How much abuse and sexism DO they need to take before its OK with you for them to stand up and comment?

               I’ve seen it all now. The new right wing male feminists have now gone full pc. Apparently now you can’t even say to a colleague, ‘you look a bit rough’, without her printing it verbatim in her column. An look here are new right feminists rallying to sooth her hurt feelings?

               Where were you when David Cunliffe apologised to abused women on behalf of male culture? I bet you tore him to strips – because it suited you to do so politically.

             Then again, Nash should probably shut his hole.

               Fair enough, he should have. But I find it funny that the supposed anti-PC, personal-responsibility, offence-only-happens-when-you-take-offence crowd are up in arms about it, and are defending Lynch’s rush to print when her feelings got hurt.

   What I’m finding fascinating with this thread, and those on Open Mike, is that more and more rightwing trolls are appearing on The Standard.

   If everything is so rosy with ShonKey and the Nats, why are they bothering with us nondescript lefties ?

     Have you looked at any of their blogs and message boards. They are bloody awful. I don’t even bother to comment their, never got past mediation. And I had my good troll hat on 🙂

     We appear to have had an influx in the last couple of days. Fromega the tone, I would say that they are from the sewer. But I haven’the viewed whale oil for some time as it is kind of irrelevant.

     But yes. It does look rather deliberate. Almost like they were directed here.
