At last, the left has its own version of Investigate magazine. As you might expect it’s a bit saner and better substantiated than anything Ian Wishart’s written since his conversion, but there are obvious parallels. Hooray for the internet!
The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
While this post is satire-ish, what you actually suggest is not a bad idea. In addition to Wishart (who represents the tin-foil right, the right also has the NBR(business right), and North and South (conservative right).
And the new rival is more credible than Investigate don’t you think?
That site author has been anointed with teh awesome…
…the truth really is out there !!!
But how can this compete against the onslaught of the Near Sighted Newspaper, the Peroxide Perp, The Oily Cetacean and the Spiny Spinster, all orchestrated of course via Farragoblog HQ

Knowing is half the battle!
why is it written in hieroglyphs?
Have you ever read Wishart? He can’t write a straightforward paragraph without descending into coded (ie you have to know the hieroglyphs to interpret it) conspiracy theories….

I do think it was kind of Glenn Beck to take the time to take an interest in a Mayoralty race in NZ, though.
you guys are just sour because Bob from an unwinnable position has proed himself to be a wonderful Mayor and Jim Anderton who has not been seen since the earthquake is having his popularity plumet.
A Gain for the people of Christchurch but a loss for the Opposition as parliament has to put up with this prick until the next election – hell maybe even beyond if he decides to hang around given no mayoral chains.
no matter what Anderton is irrelevant and that is probably something he cannot stand.
Oh do try to keep Monty

Jim’s probably been too busy to chase the cameras .
They’ve had one for ages. It’s called “Uncensored” and it’s every bit as batshit insane as “Investigate”.
