Hard News: Media Take: The selling of…, in reply to Glenn Jameson,
I bathe in a golden halo of excited photons!
At least Dalziel trolled in the daylight
Well, thanks for that - but I'd call it 'creating context' rather than 'trolling'.
I like to know what's going on in the shadows, and with people who joyfully prop up a regime that can only gain traction by lying, disinforming or dissembling....Case in point - this self serving piece*:

and this analysis of the actual figures:

They didn’t use the GIF (above) that I amateurishly cobbled together – but it looks good on the website. the less is more version works as well. -

It was also confirmation that I should go home and start writing about the music still coming of out Dunedin – the seed of six issues of a fanzine called Garage

Re National attack ad and its creator
(SG) The aim was to mislead, and it worked.
(GJ) It certainly didNice work if you can get it.

I'm sure it was all just received information and used in good faith - much like mr Jameson's passing on of anti Hillary Clinton memes on his facebook page during the US election - that "The Hillary Clinton campaign was systematically overcharging poorest donors".

Please note that Snopes has found that to be unproved - refuted if you will.

so with your enthusiasm for corroboration I assume that as you indicated it was a suspect source (but were willing to pass it on) - you will be letting all your facebook friends like Lindsay Perigo and John Ansell know that you may have put them wrong.
I note your love of Ayn Rand (Али́са Зино́вьевна Розенба́ум) books and a movie about her, as well as really liking Tucker Carlson's Fox TV show. - that is a diet that definitely needs Greens!I also note you created the caring "Don't use my money to save Radio NZ - use your own' facebook page back in 2010
https://www.facebook.com/groups/328427819247/about/and I note your 'call to arms:
till this is over the line. It's not a done deal, no matter how large our moral victory. In war, mercenaries have a price, and civic justice has no currency.
However, we'll take all the applause for our Tax Arrows attack ad!Edward Bernays (and Ayn Rand) would be proud....

Of course Mike Hosking knows best about 'systems'
(WARNING: Contains Mike Hosking!)MMP is like all systems. It works okay on a good day but it's a shambles on a bad one.
My fear with Winston is we are in for three years of comparative trouble given we've had 18 years of real cohesive settled trouble-free governance.It seems he's had his eyes tight shut for at least the last 9 years...

Hard News: Media Take: The selling of…, in reply to william blake,
we don’t talk about the first law of thermodynamics.
A lot like Governments, thermodynamic systems are generally regarded as being open, closed or isolated.

Perhaps henceforth all new born citizens are issued with an IRD number, a cellphone number and an IP address - for life.
Looks like retinal or facial recognition security systems may go over well
Tattooing or chipping may be a step too far though.

Hard News: Media Take: The selling of…, in reply to andin,
Dining on the neoliberal diet for decades does jade the senses.
Greentropy?
Everything must go green!
