Right wing hate speech blogs better source for mainstream media?

Fascinating isn't it folks? The graduate staffed, over worked and underfunded news rooms of NZ prefer to take bullshit rumours from right wing hate speech blogs rather than real news from left wing blogs. Let's put aside my posts on how possibly involved Mary English, Bill English and David Farrar were in the leaking of Don Brash's emails - let's focus on the explosive revelations No Right Turn has dug up on the inappropriate manner National appointed a human rights vandal and homophobic bigot Brian Neeson and other National Party cronies to the Human Rights Review Tribunal.

Exclusive: An appropriate process?
Firstly, it confirms that the cronies were appointed without any interview or formal process. They were "well known to Ministers" who were "satisfied as to their suitability for appointment". And that, apparently, was the end of the matter. There was no examination of qualifications beyond a standardised curriculum vitae form, and certainly no formal test of their ability to contribute meaningfully to the work of the Tribunal as recommended by its chair. They were "well known to Ministers", and so they were in. Whether this is a suitable appointments process for a quasi-constitutional body with power to overturn legislation such as the HRRT is left as an exercise for the reader.

To add insult to injury, the nomination of these cronies displaced more qualified candidates. Power had initially proposed the reappointment of eight existing, experienced members of the HRRT. Four of them were dumped to make room for these cronies. These included all three legal practitioners, who the chair had specifically requested be retained to provide a core of legal capability "to ensure continuity in the decision-making process of the Tribunal". Faced with a choice between an effective human rights body, and jobs for their mates, National chose the latter.

So the fact that National circumvented the normal interview process to stack the Human Rights Review Tribunal with homophobic bigots like Brian Neeson IS NOT NEWS! However David Farrar posts a blog about a ferry picking up Chris Carter to paint the situation out as some special treatment(when it is actually something that happens often when someone catches the wrong ferry to Devonport) THAT'S NEWS. Whaleoil goes a step further and claims Chris Carters mother (who has been dead for 17 years) is still using phone perks (something Cam now admits was a lie), all the while calling Chris Carter a gay pig - THAT'S NEWS! ‘Clint Heine and Friends’, an ACT Party hate speech site that has in the past photoshopped Helen Clarks face onto transexual porn and photoshopped her face onto a woman showing their vagina to Heather Simpson, claim from an ACT Party activist that Charles Chauvel tells a kid to be quiet on a plane flight -THAT'S NEWS!

Note - bullshit rumours spun by ACT party hate speech sites ARE NEWS
Exclusive investigations pointing out that National have bypassed normal standards to put homophobic bigots onto the Human Rights Review Tribunal - NOT NEWS.

Thank you mainstream media for reminding us why more and more people don't watch you.
