They are rightly getting roasted in the replies to this, and I know they are just quoting one "expert", but a few takeaways:
-
it sounds like the government had things set up to "stop the spread of disinformation" during Covid. I'd be interested to know what steps they took to do this. No doubt it included stopping genuine bullshit, but it also very likely included anyone that was against lockdowns and vaccine mandates, which is a difference of opinion rather than disinformation.
-
he says the spread of disinformation after the Posie Parker visit was the worst he's ever seen, but then makes up an excuse so he doesn't have to give any examples. I'd really like to have some examples here, as the vast majority of disinformation (God I hate that new word they've started using) is from the Trans movement that make crazy claims like trans women are women and men don't have inherent physical advantages over women.
-
his entire focus is on the right, as if there's never been any disinformation spread by the far left ever, it's only the right that does that, which is obviously an insane position to take if you have even a high level understanding of history.
There really is a concerted effort from the left to restrict freedom of speech at the moment, with strong backing from our mainstream media.

@No-Quarter
Creepy stuff.
A favorite tactic of the modern left or those sympathetic to it
Biden tried to set up a Disinformation Governance Board in July of 2022 and the outcry was so great they abandoned it. -

@MN5 FFS - you're stretching more than a little if you use Greta and Meghan to illustrate the validity of your argument.
I'd never seen , or indeed heard of, Elizabeth Kerekere until this little imbroglio.
What is it with Green MP's - Do they have to look like a character out of a child's storybook?

I was thinking more like a character from a Tim Burton film but I can see where you’re coming from .
She was previously known for this , she takes a few references and makes them fit into the narrative she wants to push .
The article reads like parody , particularly the part about homophobia being a colonial construct and the reason a missionary was sent home after admitting to blowing 100 young Maori men. Sounds like the guy was a predatory sex addict but that could be just my post colonial homophobia speaking . Anyway the lies by omission, leaps of logic and twisting facts to suit her narrative in this article sun up this ridiculous person quite well. -
A 12 week wait for treatment when you have 6-8 weeks to live. Six years ago we were a proper country ffs.

that's a bloke in his last job just not giving a shit. Classic. Clearly an Engineer and not interested in building emotional bridges, just actual ones.
Remains to be seen if anything changes though. His line on CCO was gold 'council controlling organisations' was quality

Yeah, all I know about him is that people don't like him. He's clearly funny, should send him a link to the Grumpy Old Man thread.

Kudos to him for getting exactly right that Eric Sykes meets Hitler look.
'Greelane' is great, I'm going to start calling it Gleelane from now on. -
@canefan Dumb shit from Kiri Allan. I get she was going in to bat for her partner but how naive can you be.
Also reeks of a monumental dummy spit by Allan on behalf of Mani Dunlop.
She didn't get the gig to host Morning Report. Obviously for an ambitious journo that's going to be a disappointment, but you started as an intern (as recently as 2011) and are heading the stations flagship Midday Report Hour at midday.
By definition the higher you go in any organisation the more limited the opportunities. There are only two hosts of Morning Report and plenty of talent after them. National Radio is probably the last mainstream media outlet you could accuse of not promoting Maoritanga. What did they want tokenism?

Any thoughts on the budget?
I don't watch much news coverage because it is vapid. It's interesting to look at the backgrounds of senior political reporters etc. Of the ones I checked almost all are communications/journalism degrees, no political theory and no economics.
