The Toupee, 3am text messages and Public Broadcasting
A new level of political debate was plunged to on Monday's Close Up, with Mike Hosking’s toupee conducting an interview regarding 3am text messages. In an astounding new low for current affairs, North Shore Mayor, Andrew Williams was quizzed NOT on his problems with the SuperCity, which was what his texts were about, but it was that he sent them at 3am.
(I’m sorry, what?)
National annex Auckland, eliminate Maori representation, have ACT use the SuperCity as a blueprint for privatization, force National Party rump like Franklin and Rodney into Auckland and then give that National Party rump more voting power than someone like me who actually lives in bloody central Auckland.
(todays word of the week children is Gerrymander, Gerrymander. Can you say it with me? I know you can)
But NONE of that could be discussed because Mike Hosking’s toupe wanted to talk about late night text protocols. Turns out the texts weren’t even sent within the last 4 months. So let’s get this straight, rather than discuss the outrageous manner in which National and ACT have rammed the SuperCity through and the ramifications this has on our local democracy to resist drives to privatize all the City’s assets, rather than discuss that, our leading Current Affairs show decided to talk about 4month old 3am text messages.
The irony is that this week National prepped TVNZ up for post 2011 privatization by dumping it’s public broadcasting responsibilities, and it looks like Close Up was taking that editorial change to heart effective immediately.
Brothers and Sisters, if we lose our public broadcaster, we lose our voice.
I’m a fuddy duddy, I think the media serve a vital function within a democracy to hold the powerful to account and that it is in the best interests of democracy that commercial media are kept on a tight leash vying against a well resourced public service so that the corporations can’t dominate the public debate. A public broadcaster that only has to entertain and make money may was well start playing porn at 6pm daily.

As A maori I find you highly offensive, racist even. They have not eliminated my representation, I can vote as much as you can.
Please don't patronise me.
Appearing on The Alex Jones Show yesterday, Lord Christopher Monckton went further than ever before in his vehement opposition to the elitists running the climate change scam, calling for the UN to be shut down and for fraudulent peddlers of global warming propaganda like Al Gore to be arrested and criminally prosecuted.
Monckton said that those who are threatening to shut down economies, bankrupt nations, and deepen the problems of the third world by implementing draconian policies in the name of global warming should be indicted, prosecuted and imprisoned “for a very long time”.
“The fraudsters and racketeers from Al Gore to the people at the University of East Anglia who have been making their fortune at the expense of taxpayers and the little guy,” should be criminally charged, said Monckton, in response to the climategate scandal.
“We the people have got to rise up worldwide, found a party in every country which stands for freedom and make sure we fight this bureaucratic communistic world government monster to a standstill – they shall not pass,” he added.
Monckton said that the United Nations should be “closed down,” adding that he talked to a senior UN ambassador in Canada who told him that he no longer saw any purpose in the UN and it exists “only to enrich itself at the expense of the nations it claims to serve, it’s time it was brought to an end.”
“We would all save billions if we shut down the UN and just about all of its hideous bureaucracy,” said Monckton.
Lord Monckton emphasized how the emails released as a result of climategate prove that global warming alarmism was still prevalent in public but behind closed doors, warmist scientist are admitting that the “deniers” as they label people like Monckton are correct.
“Publicly they’re saying the science is settled, we’re all doomed unless you close down the economies of the west, whereas privately they’re saying to each other ‘we’ve got it wrong, none of this adds up and it’s a travesty that we can’t explain it’.”
