A media masterclass from Pierre Poilievre

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2025/02/04

The likely next Canadian PM is a master at showing how to deal with news media who aren't interested in asking questions on behalf of the viewer but are more interested in pushing their own narrative. It also happens here in NZ. We look at some examples from Poilievre and also ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and then we give you a test to see how well you would do.

Bye bye Joe, Justin and 'fact' checkers

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2025/02/03

Over the break, there were a number of farewells, resignations & sackings. And they were all excellent. January was not just a "good day" but a "good month"!

DEI is (thankfully) DIE-ing

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2025/02/02

DEI has been about simply ramming down and enforcing left-wing viewpoints and ideologies rather than delivering good services and products and rewarding effort and excellence. But there has been a cultural tipping point - finally.

Growing up (traumatised) in NZ?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2025/01/29

According to the NZ Herald, "nine in 10 Kiwi kids endure trauma by age 8 - new research". But the media’s hysterical coverage of the latest research on families is a manufactured crisis. The academics have done nothing to help their cause either.

The media's inauguration meltdown

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2025/01/28

We all knew that the media would really struggle on the 20th January 2025 to remain impartial and report the facts around the Inauguration of the President. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is difficult to manage – but it’s so easy to observe. Here’s just four examples from the first 12 hours of the Trump presidency - in order of stupid to stupider to downright idiotic.

The media missed the (trust) memo

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2025/01/27

The NZ media is facing further criticism about its bias - but interestingly, it's coming from its own senior journalists.

Jacinda's "Act" of kindness has increased abortions 23%

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/12/17

According to a Ministry of Health report released today, abortions have increased 23% since Jacinda’s ‘kind’ law was passed. And there was a 67% increase in late term abortions between 2021 and 2023. 45 children per day are killed in the womb in New Zealand. Anybody who has viewed the ultrasound of an unborn child will know that abortion is a gross abuse of human rights. It worked in the 70s but it’s flat earth science now. We’ve seen the ultrasounds. We’ve seen the foetal development. To support

The ERO is not your friend

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/12/12

The Education Review Office (ERO) wants to treat parental input as ‘hostile’ when it comes to sexuality and gender indoctrination in schools, including primary schools. You need to treat the ERO as hostile. We take a deep dive into their report released this week (including some of their downright misleading statements), and explain what you need to do to protect your children.

COVID Report - Media & MPs are suddenly... listening.

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/12/03

Wow – what a difference a COVID report makes which is allowed to examine both sides without being pilloried by the media, by the politicians, by the cultural elite. Suddenly the media are asking the right questions and thinking about both sides of the debate. Suddenly the politicians are starting to acknowledge the diversity of opinion and views on this issue, and that they were valid. But that still didn’t stop the then-Minister of COVID Response Chris Hipkins still telling some 'porkies' last

When can a sportsperson speak?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/28

It depends on who's speaking - and whether the legacy media and political left agree with them. We examine the reaction to TJ Perenara's haka compared with Israel Folau's personal social media post. There's quite a contrast in the reaction from the cultural left.

Green Party goes from bad to worse (if that's possible)

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/27

If you thought standards of dress were declining in Parliament (which they are), wait until you see and hear the newest Member of Parliament. It had to be a Green MP eh.WARNING: This episode contains some offensive images. We advise discretion.

Jaguar goes draguar, Volvo goes pro-life

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/27

Some businesses are waking up to their wokeness. Others - like Jaguar - aren't. Apparently, the American “marketing guru” who masterminded Jaguar’s woke rebrand is Black Lives Matter-supporting Santino from New York, who has a Scottish husband. DEI 101. Don’t worry about building good cars. It’s all about helping the staff to change their sex and indoctrinating sexuality and gender in the letters of LGBTQIA and any others you want to add.

The transgender agenda sunk Kamala

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/20

One of the key reasons Kamala Harris was defeated by Donald Trump wasn’t just because she was a terrible candidate, obsessed with killing the unborn child in the womb, but she promoted transgenderism – the false notion that you can choose and change your sex. And Americans weren’t buying it. Even Democrats are admitting that now. It’s NZ’s time to also vote down the harmful transgender ideology. But there’s a Minister (or two) in the way.

Mainstream news media are turning on themselves

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/17

The media is turning on itself, and that was especially noticeable last week when Newstalk ZB’s Heather de Plessis-Allan - who used to be a reporter on 1News (!) – went ballistic about the bias of TVNZ’s coverage of the hikoi to Parliament. And she had a number of reasons for making that call. But it's not the only news outlet that needs calling out.

"Trans & Pregnant" - Biology trumps gender ideology

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/12

The TVNZ taxpayer-funded documentary “Trans & Pregnant” was not only a celebration of biology and new life, but it probably affirmed what the producers never wanted you to realise. Biology always wins. Mothers and fathers matter.

US election - anti drugs & more pro-life than expected

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/12

In the recent US election, there were a number of state-specific ballots regarding abortion, cannabis and euthanasia. We look at the results because if you listened to the media, you would think that all these ballots would have succeeded with massive majorities. Guess what – they didn’t.

Media defeated by US election

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/11

Last week wasn’t a good week for the news media. Trump won. The media were defeated – in perhaps a mortal blow to their trust and integrity. X (formerly Twitter) is now the news platform of choice, as the mainstream media worldwide disappears in a cloud of distrust.

Remember the Algerian Olympic boxer in the women's ring?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/07

Here's a breaking story that the NZ media don't seem to keen too tell you, after lecturing you in August for questioning the gender of the 'female' boxer at the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee said 'nothing to see here'. Now we find out that there were some things to see – including testicles, a micro-penis and the absence of a uterus. XY.

Who is Kemi Badenoch?

2024/11/06

Kemi Badenoch haswon the Conservative Party leadership contestand becomes the first black person ever to lead a major party in Britain.How socially conservative is the new leader of the UK Conservative Party? And why does it matter.

NZ media's "propagandisation" of the US Election

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2024/11/03

The NZ news media think you're idiots and that you'll fall for anything. The real question is - will you. And if they’re propagandising coverage of the US election, you can be sure they’re doing it to many other issues as well. We’ve already proved that. We deserve better from the news media.
