Well so far it looks like the Kiwiblog Right are doing there very best to shut-down oppositional leftwing voices if their full-on troll attack on the Standard at the moment is anything to go by.

"What the Tribune Group has done to that paper is just wrong"
yes, a bit like what APN has done to the Herald really isn't it Russell?

"more aggressively exposed and discussed by the new media of the internet than by the established media... The problem with the internet, of course, is that it transmitted considerable flakiness alongside pithy truth telling. Blog sites, for good and ill, are unfiltered and unaccountable"

"It just seems to me that you and David Farrar are perpetually balancing each other out with your bagging of National and Farrar's criticism of Labour in equal measure"

I expect National won't need nearly so many comms people because they'll hardly want to be telling the public what they're up to, now will they?

I take pomo to be the position that "universally, there are no universal truths" (which of course negates that very assertion) - its adherents seem to think this is pretty neat, but it also demonstrates pomo's incoherence. most of the writing by pomo proponents is extremely dense to try and disguise this incoherence.
the pomo movement was meant to be a radical rejection of establishment values and a worthy recognition of difference, but it has since been subverted to justify the neo-con position, a la "who is the government to say what's good for people? we're all different and value different things - why should we be so arrogant as to assume what health and education standards might be, they're different for everyone. here, have these vouchers instead of social services".
Key's bach might not be a simulation, but its owner clearly is.
