"Look at it this way, when Labour were in power the msm had to actually write copy about issues, albeit not in any depth or intelligence, but actually put the grey matter to work and create content as the gov't wasn't feeding them an agenda." That is a ...
IB- child abuse is wrong, you should know that. I am pointing out an example of someone from the Standard publishing verbatim an account from a political activist about their encounter with a politician.
also, didn't someone from The Standard publish the account of James Sleep, verbatim about being "run over"? [lprent: The post said Sleep described the incident as frightening and thought he was going to be run over. Quite different from your 'verbatim' ...
http://www.thestandard.org.nz/how-much-did-key-pay-for-his-seat/ Not anon anymore, not sure if SP was "out" then so to speak. One could also ad "Batman". [lprent: yes he was... Why exactly would we want a batman ad? ]
ahh, does that explain her ridiculously high travel expenses?
"About six years ago he suppled most primary schools with beautiful posters of whales and with kits for the young people to learn all about the wonder of whales" No. About six years ago the NZ taxpayer did that.
Craig, before you critique someones use of language, can I suggest using a dictionary?
lazy MP? he is in the House pretty much every sitting day and is active in his electorate from what I have seen.
and when only 125 people identify with a cause does that also mean something?
You are pretty naive if you do not think both sides do it BR. Do you also think that only National have a letter writing program to the major newspapers?
BR- you can not seriously use Facebook as a measure of public support for something, it is as unreliable as an internet poll. As an example, I am sure there are a couple more people than the 125 people in this group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=...

Stop being nasty Mark.
Probably. Doesn't excuse it from either side though.
that makes a lot more sense :)
"The best result was the severing of the Orakei-Mangakiekie ward into two. As it originally stood it was almost inevitable that there would be two right wing candidates." Not familiar with the area at all, but surely having two right wing candidates would ...
Micky, I've made a number of comments on how inept I think she is and how Trevor Mallard was right to go after her in the house. As IrishBill pointed out yesterday, Labour need to get their own house in order, making stupid mistakes like Trevor is doing on...
Draco, you are showing your one eyed bias again. Yes, this is the first time Anette has been caught out being misleading but this Trev gets caught out time and time again with simple mistakes, normally spelling or numerical. When you are attacking the ...
The link... King would fail NCEA level One if she can not work out basic percentages, Mallard would too given that he can't count past five, yet they are hammering Tolley on National Standards (I disagree with National Standards btw).
correct, that is the Labour line, but that is not what was said by King, she said that bread, butter and power prices would go up by 20%... clearly false. She probably meant to say that the GST would go up 20%, but that is not what she said.
have the CIA/FBI come knocking re contracting you to find Osama?
Thanks felix, appreciate that.
my mistake, didn't read the last bit of the comment sorry.
Agree that Tolley is struggling beyond belief and should be replaced. However, when Labour make simple math errors like King did on Sunrise this morning King did on Sunrise this morning, it makes it easy for National to point to them as key examples of why...
"And the costume thing was real corny." Seriously, another costume? I could have sworn I just wrote something about that. Anyone got a pic?
"Just because I can read a left leaning opinion piece in a right wing newspaper doesn't make the newspaper any less right wing does it?" No, but I think you will find that they are more balanced than your perception. "So yes, Campbell is nominally left a ...
I think it has a lot to do with image too, they just come across and are portrayed as fruit loops in a lot of circumstances, some of it is media bias, but I would suggest that a fair chunk is of their own making... Morris Dancing, singing in maiden ...
"One of the core problems I see with Labour is that it is heavily populated with a young and enthusiastic, if somewhat apathetic, group of activists" Had a glance at the front bench of Labour recently? http://labour.org.nz/mps
Bill, the notion that all of the MSM are right wing puppets or have right wing bias is rather strange quite frankly. One only has to watch Campbell Live to see a clear Left bias. Even Paul Henry was laying into John Key on Monday, despite his obvious bias!
"The problem is that it is the centre that moved to the right." No it didn't. Nine years of a left leaning Government was always going to shift the centre to the left, hence our current "Labour lite" party. The centre could have been pulled further left if...
toad, you probably wont want my 2 cents, but I am opinionated enough to give it anyway :D The "green" brand of the Green Party has been damaged by going too far into the social engineering side of things and too little on the pollution side of things. ...
