Meanwhile, I suggest revisiting Garrick Tremain's cartoon page (a permanent link to it, Karl?), and focus on what the PM is saying about the un-mandated implementation of separatism that is occurring as we breathe.hughvanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655840089502084282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-53195018810995887582021-05-22T17:21:07.370+12:002021-05-22T17:21:07.370+12:00I wonder how long this crap will last before the p...I wonder how long this crap will last before the pendulum swings back.<br /><br />Martin Van Beynen, along with this blog's author, one of the few uncowed voices left, has had enough:<br /><br />https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/125205470/columnist-dubbed-thinking-mans-redneck-bows-out-after-17-years<br />Johnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462464283423035614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-79833494723724503752021-05-21T17:27:15.746+12:002021-05-21T17:27:15.746+12:00This comment has been removed by the author.Eamon Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551803651059076248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-15981473571183310902021-05-19T07:13:07.840+12:002021-05-19T07:13:07.840+12:00"here they make you feel something"
That..."here they make you feel something"<br />That's how propaganda works. If you make the mistake of watching our TV channels you see it all the time, and I don't mean the advertising. Our current affairs stories frequently and shamelessly propagandise - usually some lefty cause. The words, the music and the lighting are used to create an emotion that you then attach to the object of the story. You are being subliminally told what to think and feel.

In NZ adds kiwi males are nearly always presented as good hearted buffoons. And I notice the the kiwi adds strategy at the moment is to show us something emotional (such as a little boy being bullied and then helped, or a miscarrage) and then link a company to it such as Spark, or ASB. <br /><br />In the States, they tell you how good the product is, here they make you feel something and use it to engender good emotion toward the company - its almost as though they think we are stupid...Desperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358834012556574130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-10150598620177295442021-05-18T10:00:31.056+12:002021-05-18T10:00:31.056+12:00"And just like that there were no more white ..."And just like that there were no more white folks on TV", as Forrest Gump might have said. Being the expensive whores they are, the advertising agencies are simply carrying out the wishes of their corporate accounts. Corporate wokery including "taking the knee" and all that b/s has become a useful, inexpensive tool for deflecting attention away from real issues like low wages, the abysmal treatment of staff or even profiting from slave labour in China.<br /><br />Most of us do not expect truth in advertising. But we used to expect at least a semblance of it from our news media. That however has totally evaporated. Tova O'Brien's performance on TV3 "News" regarding the Reid poll on Sunday night must be the final nail in the coffin. Chris Trotter has this morning published a brilliant analysis of the propaganda and chicanery deployed in that programme in an attempt to stop any investigation into or debate about He Puapua:http://bowalleyroad.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-tv3-poll-journalism-or-propaganda.html<br /><br />You know you are in serious trouble when the media go to such lengths, including trying to destabilize the leadership of a major political party.

As long the advertisers don't exclude pale-skins on screen it shouldn't turn these off. The one occasion when a big commercial risk was taken was when KiwiBank included a Muslima wearing a hihab in its commercials after Jacinda's virtue signalling at public appearances in her hijabs in 2019. That could have turned off a lot of people.transpress nzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889609417253751134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-47114030388959067572021-05-17T18:27:31.695+12:002021-05-17T18:27:31.695+12:00Further thoughts:-

This is the Comrade Ardern plan for the destruction of our society, and it is happening now.<br />The plan is clear:- Maori will control everything<br />• our parliament<br />• our health system, <br />• all our coastline and fisheries, and all our native bush and forests. <br />Nothing left.for us 85% of New Zealanders<br />Doug Longmirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008729336442910333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-66756609249435730572021-05-17T16:54:40.948+12:002021-05-17T16:54:40.948+12:00Yes, I certainly had noticed that trend Karl.
I al...Yes, I certainly had noticed that trend Karl.<br />I also have seen the trend for the TV news to become more and more woke, with almost no investigative or politically objective content. The TV medium is clearly becoming the propaganda arm of the government. Any reports of matters critical of the current Left wing government are handled very softly. Any reports including Judith Collins are carefully orchestrated to show her frowning or in some unflattering pose.<br />There is currently a huge change to New Zealand being proposed - the Comrade Ardern's government's deliberate and planned destruction of democracy to be replaced by a separatist, racist dictatorship. <br />This is the greatest threat to our nation in my living memory. The main stream TV news media are just ignoring it. It does not happen.
