Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Greens have been the third biggest party in all the polls for a while now -amazing how little they are covered in media compared to the other parties & when they are covered it’s often with an underlying hint of incredulity 010 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Nats clearly had one out-of-context line they are clinging to from that debate & want everyone talking about that - these columns are part of that propaganda machine. 010 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 03/10/2026the headline almost makes it sound like the Greens are the ‘bizzare’ ones which is the fav moniker by media & rw for any idea or policy they have ‘crazy’ / ‘weird’ etc actually most Green policy is in my my view eminently sensible & thoughtful almost certainly based off evidence models elsewhere 120 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It was ambitious cos it needed to be to solve a big problem but was also actually pretty sensible & based off evidence & plenty of thought 010 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Money & media choices but mainly money - be nice to have some context in coverage around why some campaigns are more ‘visible’ 040 0
Reposted by GutboilerEmz of Big Hairy News @iamprettyawesome.bsky.social · 17/09/2026TPM Debbie allegedly and inaudiably says "cunt" in the house and booted minutes before the 6pm news goes live, makes it into the headlines. LUXON says "cry me a river" in response to a question on rising cost of living earlier in the day, doesn't get reported anywhere. What the actual fuck. 1016338 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Shouldn’t this be like a headline or something ? 1) Shows he lies constantly when he says his govt is ‘laser focused on cost of living & 2) he is a heartless ahole who only cares about himself & his rich mates 041 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 07/09/2026yes I am now out of words stuff like this on the daily I truly can’t fathom how anybody could want to vote this collection of inane & moronic moneyed up ghouls back into power 120 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Yea seems like doesn’t matter what the substance of any Greens policy is or whether it’s relatively normal elsewhere people just want to leap about shouting ‘radical’ or ‘communism’ or ‘crazy’ & dismiss it without a second thought 180 0

Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 22/06/2026yea is it right to say that Nats have announced billions & billions of dollars worth of roads which don’t pass any cost benefit analysis & haven’t had hardly any scrutiny for how this is going to be paid for 120 0

Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 30/01/2026but it feels like this is what journalism is now - there are exceptions but seems mainly done by a bunch of people who know nothing with zero perspective & who can’t be bothered stretching to find stuff out if the subject is further way than the end of thier own nose 000 0

Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 23/01/2026yes also this particular issue is probably pretty niche & may not be widely understood or cared about Peters just playing to the cookers who gave him a few % don't know if this is really anything which will move the dial very much but anyways I agree our media is sadly vv weak 000 0
Gutboiler @gutboiler.bsky.social · 23/01/2026prob scared of Peters sick of the ad hominem attacks which is his stock & trade when anyone criticises Greens they will usually try to explain in terms of policy/ consequences - Peters just attacks the messenger & gets increasingly threatening 100 0
