Bill Burr is one of the smartest, and most decent, commentators in the United States. A few weeks ago he put one of America's stupidest, and least decent, commentators firmly back in his box... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wpw-rxxFi0&t=1s
I thought you didn't. Thanks for confirming it.
Do you even know what Al-Nusra was?
Your first point is absurd. Your second point has merit.
Jenny, how are you dealing with the failure of the U.S.-backed Al Nusra terrorists in Syria? Russia's crucial hand in the defeat of ISIS there is surely to be applauded.
...its failure to outrightly condem [sic] the Facist [sic] and thug Putin for his invasion of Ukraine and Russian war crimes. In fact, these peace activists get it just right: they condemn the people responsible for the ceaseless goading and provocation of...
Has Britain's hopeless Labour leader apologised for this supporter's violence? https://x.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1786311986227102159
Your last comment confirms my suspicions about your judgement and good faith, or lack thereof.
The term "genocide" is used by far more than Al Jazeera News to refer to the campaign of extermination being waged by the Israeli Occupation Force. It's not "bandied about" either; it's a rational and objective term for what Israel is (unsuccessfully) ...
This step is long overdue. She won't be the only one in the dock, hopefully. Top EU official accused at ICC of ‘complicity’ in Gaza genocide Ursula von der Leyen, President of the EU commission, has been repeatedly criticized over the months for ...
Sadly, the political situation in Great Britain is almost identical to the U.S.: a choice between two unconscionable options. There are, of course, a few decent and honourable politicians, like George Galloway, whose recent return to parliament drove both ...
I understand how long-winded they are. I apologise for impinging on your time.
That's a good one. Not.
True, Phillip, they do drone on a bit. For a more concise humiliation of that frightful old bore, I recommend you do a YouTube search on "Greenwald + Maher".
Both the Nats and ACT are committed to reducing NZ's net emissions. That's the funniest statement I've seen since Bill Maher called himself "brave" the other day. [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in...
No wonder this site is almost dead.
FFS! Your comment is empty waffle that tells us nothing... ???? You mean you don't like what I said. In just a few sentences, I pointed out that Bill Maher is pretentious and shallow, and that he occasionally makes the mistake of trying to engage with ...
"I'm the one who's actually brave on this." The ludicrous, pretentious Bill Maher does not usually invite smart people onto his awful show. He made the mistake of having Glenn Greenwald on once. That was a disaster for Maher. Now he's gone and done it ...
He has repeatedly voted against aid to Ukraine. ... You mean public aid for the armaments industry, the only people to derive any benefit from this proxy war. You seem to be on the same wavelength as Senator Lindsey Graham, who declared in January last ...
"This creature from hell..." Israeli ambassador to NZ Ran Jaakoby gets 45 minutes free air time Q+A, TVNZ1, Sunday 21 April 2024, 9 a.m. Poor old Jack Tame found it hard to hide his disgust. Most of the time he looked troubled, and probably wanted to say ...
Keep up the good work Morrissey. Thanks for your kind words, ...
My critique of Robert Ayson's comments were anything but "vacuous". They were a verbatim report of some extremely chilling comments he made, claiming that American killing of civilians was morally superior to that of other countries. The same applies to ...
Kit Karenberg is an independent journalist, working in London. Where his work appears is not really important, surely. Is Glenn Greenwald any less of an authority because he used to work for that discredited MI5 conduit and traducer of political dissenters...
VUW employs some extremely unsavoury people. Perhaps the most unsavoury of all are to be found in its splendidly titled School of Strategic Studies.... https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-19112015/#comment-1097870 https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-...
Confirmed: Ukraine war ends with partition Kit Klarenberg Zelensky no doubt wishes that referendum had gone ahead, therefore likely averting the special military operation. He also surely regrets believing Boris Johnson’s promises of the blankest of blank ...
The RNZ board's only concern is to stay onside with the government. The government of this country's only concern is to stay onside with the United States. The concerns of listeners and the general public do not count in the slightest.
I don't think Trotter is like Hitler. He's more in the line of one of those self-satisfied, reactionary buffoons that infest the public discourse in the United States. The way that Trotter has behaved on RNZ's light talk show The Panel over the years---...
RNZ National still censoring revelations that IOF soldiers killed hostages on Oct. 7th Tuesday 23 January 2024, 6:15 a.m. Coming up is "our correspondent Sarah Coates in Jerusalem." Corin Dann chirpily asserts that she is "right across developments." It ...
Thanks for that correction, my friend.
If RNZ does change from a propaganda conduit to a real news outlet, tomorrow it will be running this latest report from Israel's most read publication, Yedioth Ahronoth. My bet, though, is that it will stick to its tried and untrue "experts" at CNN and the...
You're confusing their blustering, violence-minded, Nazi-honoring politicians with their population. https://thegrayzone.com/tag/baltic/
