Another day, another reminder that the existential threat to the Democratic Party isn't "woke" socialists or trans athletes with weak bladders, but the parasitic "centrist" machine politician-donor-consultant industrial complex incapable of getting drunk at an Irish wake.

RNZ using 'happy happy' photos for this protest. Any protest for Gaza, Māori or the climate is met with dour images and warnings of ambulances being delayed. RNZ hates you and loves fascists. #nzpol

Interesting to go back to twitter to see what the 'NZLabour' accounts are posting. You'd think there would be mention of the puberty blocker ban but they are virtually silent on the issue. The 'Zip It Sweetie' order seems to have come down from on high. Queers Shouldn't Trust NZ Labour #NZpol

I am critical of NZ Labour because they have a bad track record recently, on standing up for what is right, rather than what's politically expedient. I would also like to see what TPM plans to do about the puberty blocker ban. Here's hoping 'Front Bottom' Tamihere isn't calling the shots. #nzpol

So the Greens already out swinging. Is Hipkins asleep? Or is he on the blower to his mate Starmer to find out how he can sell this as good news? #nzpol

Henry does of course work for Stuff. As you will see over the coming months, Stuff are the biggest purveyors of transphobic propaganda in NZ. Dirty money is how NZ journalists pay their mortgages. #nzpol

Chris Hipkins straight out of the block to state that “Labour will instantly change this on day one of their new government - in line with the international evidence of best practice” What? You’re saying he hasn’t done this? Well there you go… #nzpol

Looks like basketball is another sport off the menu for the NZ queers. #nzpol

RNZ pushing AI again. TBH - using AI to replace the entire staff at RNZ sounds like a great idea. It would make their output more trustworthy and reliable than the dross they currently put out. #nzpol

RNZ's McCulloch lets Luxon get away with "the cost will be what the cost will be" when he could have looked up the actual figures and informed the public of the cost implications. Do you know why? Because Craig McCulloch is not a journalist. He's a propagandist for the current government. #nzpol

whoever selected the photos for this article deserves an award for photo selection, this is peak photo selection, unsurpassable perfection, all other photo selector people can just get their coats and go home because this selection will never be bettered

Labour faithful on here have suddenly awakened to the fact that Andrew Little was an awful candidate who will further destroy the left in Wellington. I wonder if they'll ever put 2 and 2 together and realise that Hipkins is merely Starmer in heels? I don't think they will. Fascism ahoy! #nzpol

Blatant propaganda on behalf of the wealthy by Turd Of Satan, Susan Edmunds in your local Tory rag RNZ. Stop listening to RNZ. Don't retweet RNZ. Starve them to death. #nzpol

He such a nice guy. Glad you all go to him for legal opinions. Even when he's talking out of his arse.

This article is littered with PROVABLE LIES about EV's starting fires This is why we need to hold our journalists to account. They are actively campaigning to kill your children. Never subscribe to ANY NZ news source. #nzpol

Newsroom persisting with its paid for propaganda on behalf of the Atlas Network. Are you all still subscribing? Well done on tying the noose around your own neck! #nzpol

Currently, the only mention of Donald Trump on the RNZ landing page is congratulating him for ending the shutdown. RNZ journos are complicit in the rise of fascism in NZ. The ones that stand idly by and say nothing are equally complicit. Turn Off RNZ #nzpol

Right now, Karoline Leavitt is being coached on how to say “ephebophilia” in the least creepy way possible.

Well, one of the former Prince Andrew‘s relatives was married at 8 yrs old. I think ultra wealthy paedos are pretty flexible when it comes to the age of their victims.

The filth at RNZ can’t even write about this calamity without ‘bothsidesing’ it. How is the number of TOURISTS relevant to a story about kiwis migrating to Aus in vast numbers? And people on Bluesky still think that RNZ is an unbiased source of information. Turn Them Off - They HATE the Poor #nzpol

This is what to expect from a future Labour government. In consultations - they will always defer to big business rather than the opinion of the working public and its elected representatives. #nzpol

Bluesky goons have never heard of Johnny Cash.

The year is 2029. The BBC is owned & run by President Musk, who's renamed it "BBC-X" Mrs Brown's Boys is played every 4 hrs interspersed with repeats of Bernard Manning in "The Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club" & "Til Death Us Do Part". Lee Hurst is head of comedy & Laurence Fox is head of drama.

I can still remember NZ 'journos' waxing lyrical about this piece of shit. But some people on here still think NZ 'journos' are decent people. (The same people that said that Tamatha Paul was wrong to question the integrity of the NZ police) #nzpol

@chrishipkins.bsky.social Earlier this year, you publicly belittled Tamatha Paul for daring to criticise police. Given today's revelations around sexual offending & cover-ups at the highest levels, would you care to apologise to her & acknowledge some people have reasons to distrust them? #nzpol

Is this news? No. It fucking isn't. Should this ever be the primary news story on any news organisation web site anywhere? No. No fucking way. RNZ's self-inflicted lobotomy seems to working.💩 Did someone at RNZ get bitten by a ZB zombie?

Don't click on the video - 'cos this guy is a jerk - but interesting to see how the capture of NZ's media by fossil fuel propaganda is being noticed elsewhere. All our media is joining in the push to make climate change worse. Turn them off to starve them out. #nzpol www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqBD...

Just drove past a Zeekr X on the road in Auckland. Can't be long till @kiwiev.bsky.social posts a review...

Why are random citizens consistently, and continuously, turning up major scandals by the government that NZ media are both *incapable of finding* AND refuse to report on even when they learn about it via citizen journalism???

Oh shit - here comes the next rash of US Dippy Dem posts about NZ being full of billionaires in bunkers. Just AI marketing bullshit but don't expect them to do any homework before barging in like an ignorant horse with their opinions. #nzpol

RNZ now leading stories about this by amplifying the groups victimisation claims. It's been a pretty nasty last few years for RNZ reporters and their clear enmity towards teachers and education. Like, why do this - especially given how easy it was to find info about how shady the group actually is

Here they go… Expect constant ”good news” stories from RNZ and the rest of our fascist media companies in the lead up to the election. They are not a news broadcasters - they are merely a gang whose purpose is to spread far right propaganda. #nzpol

It wasn’t a leak. It was just Chris Hipkins pissing himself when he realised he’s going to be rolled by the many dissatisfied Labour MP’s #nzpol

RNZ cashing their fossil fuel lobby cheques again. 'electric bus' Turn Off RNZ #nzpol

The only quibble I have with “enshittification” as a concept is that in 99% of cases you can substitute the word “capitalism” for it with no loss of meaning.

I hope you all can remember sensible centrist “opinion havers” on here and twitter that reassured us that Meager was one of the ’good guys’ in the National Party. They also said the same about Chris Bishop. And Nicola Willis. And Erica Stanford. Stop listening to sensible centrists #nzpol

OMFG! They’ve done yet another story on her! This is the state of our “serious media”. They’ve never met an influencer they wouldn’t pander to. #nzpol

I've submitted a formal complaint to RNZ, based on lack of balance in the key allegation, prejudicial timing (on the day of the strike), and failure by omission. This story has been repeatedly aired across their morning newscasts as well.

Looks like the government is aiming for the Occupy Wall St strategy of denying the protestors have any message at all. And RNZ are governmental minions, parroting this uncritically. I don't think it's going to work here: everybody who isn't a wealthy sorted donor knows people protesting. #nzpol

The multiple stories about today's strike being a complete failure have already been written and their authors have been paid for them. Stop trusting NZ Media. They hate you. #nzpol

Another example of crap journalism from RNZ. Consistently printing one sided stories with no right of reply. Wouldn't gain a pass at journalism school. You can't print that allegation and then not seek a response.

A good journalist (in NZ? don't make me laugh!) would ask him what the house is INSURED for. If he doesn't comment then keep asking and make it a story. #nzpol

AoNZ can expect to see exactly the same tactics used by the right wing in our General Election. Dirty Politics was merely a trial run. #nzpol

Good to see NZ’s answer to Paleo Pete Evans, Chelsea Winter, getting fevered column inches from the men of NZ Media. Steve Braunias in particular, is rising to the occasion (as expected of a wizened prune that thinks he can still go the distance). #nzpol

NZ Bluesky just loves those Stuff 'polls'. 'But they're just a bit of fun and it annoys the government - Ha ha!' So when they run one with 'Can women have penises' you'll find the results funny too? Those polls are the friends of fascism. #nzpol

heyoooo when does this guy get kicked as leader, this is US level fumble that said - this really underlines that it's also the team AROUND Hipkins that have issues - and I mean advisors more than other MPs www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

200 mill on a national scale is spare change. National announced what, 9 billion on new defence spending recently. This is amazingly mediocre, even for Chris Hipkins, New Zealand's least daring politician.

RNZ going to far right law firm Hesketh Henry for an opinion on employment law in order to attack union action. But 'leftist' people on here still think they are balanced in their reporting... #nzpol

NZ Bluesky giving me total confidence that NZ Labour are going to fumble an winnable election. Looks like Starmerism is fully entrenched in those who profess to be ‘left’ Even when Hipkins begins attacking the trans community they’ll still support him. Another step closer to fascism in NZ #nzpol
