Hard News: Media Take: The selling of…, in reply to linger,
emotional reaction
Yes cause god forbid you show anything resembling a feeling, because to the fucked up minds who wheel out this shit that would mean you have lost the argument.
Dining on the neoliberal diet for decades does jade the senses. But I guess these well-heeled cretins have developed a taste for dishes the rest of us cant stomach. -
OOOooo so Glenn(thanx KR) are you one of the advertising peeps responsible for Nationals campaign? And within the narrow confines in which you operate those campaigns are considered "legal".
Yeah I put that in scare quotes because while they may not actually break laws they are morally repugnant. Not that you would know how to gauge that because you most likely have a shit moral compass when it comes to what you do for a living.
A quick rule of thumb if you have to run it by the legal department its a piece of crap.Tell that to the rest of those preening nincompoops wouldya. -

entirely accurate
Lies lies and more lies AFATECS
Did that actually go to air?
I'd be seeking legal advice -
New Zealanders are not an ATM
Is low-level sociopsychological language, it pits one stratum of society against another. Its unfunny how those doing ok still seem to want to see themselves as victims.

Hard News: Metiria's Problem, in reply to Alfie,
Postponed. The pale stale males are still beating up on Metiria, including a very silly column by Garner. What do Tuku Morgans underpants have to do with anything anymore. Christ on a stick, get down from that high horse would ya!

Mental health? How fit is your mind. In Mr Coleman's case he is unspokenly saying
'Hey look at me I am a functioning member of parliament I cant have any mental health problems because of who I am'.
How wrong that thinking is.... -

confront themselves.
I can think of quite a few people who should go somewhere and do some honest reflection on their beliefs and how they have come to them, and while they're about it a critical reappraisal of their actions might be handy for those whose lives their policies are going to influence.
I would probably disagree with you on where the more urgent need for that is, currently.When all the finger pointing and blaming white supremacy and journalism
You are wide of the mark there. It is govt policies for the past 30yrs and the beliefs behind those that are being called into question here. Labour doesnt get a free pass there as well as the incumbents. It is clear that those ideas were adopted by those who walked the halls of government during that time. They had/are having a disastrous effect.
Nothing that wasn't warned about, at the time. Neoliberalism, Free markets, user pays, competitive business models blah blah blah. And those who were at the bottom of societies increasingly pyramiding shape for historic cultural reasons or being a mother or any increasing number of reasons, suffered and struggled. Go figure!
As for some of the commentary provided on this by journalism, it was paper thin at best and riddled with weird personal bias. Did the journalist's ancestry/ upbringing/sex have something to do with it? Well it was often opinion so you work it out. Sometimes ones opinions arent all that flash. -

Its an opinion piece so throw in a few cliches, slag off an easy target, show irreverent support for the status quo, like you're a right wing rebel with a cause. And Stuff will put it up on its website to fill in a few hours of clickbait
Fucking tossers, media at its laziest. Damien Grant can fuck right off too another useless white male sucking off the teet of those he sucks up too. And he has the gall to call others bludgers. -
