March 16, 2024 21:31 - 1 hour - 102 MBDescription There are once again too many things happening in the world, and the National Party coalition is using that to their advantage to continue ramming through deeply destructive policy.

1/200 S2E50 - Frame and Fortune
January 20, 2024 20:06 - 52 minutes - 71.9 MBThis week we saw multiple clear examples of the way that right-wing politics manipulate and frame the media to suit them. From the coverage of MP Golriz Ghahraman to David Seymour’s bizarre pronouncements about Te Tiriti it seems like there is little understanding of the ways in which news reporting is compromised, and this directly assists with the astro-turfing and radicalisation of politics in the West.
