Two top US papers copped a backlash when billionaire owners interfered in US election coverage this week. Mediawatch asks the boss of Stuff if joining a local ginger group with political figures could compromise her own company's coverage in Wellington https://t.co/e2VvxFa7Wg

‘Ben died because he was working in a mine that was unsafe. It was known to be unsafe, but the people that ran it saw health and safety as “red tape” that impeded their plans for profit and interfered with their control of their business’ https://t.co/aYe97X5rcl

No it didn’t. The $490,000 speed bump was proven not to exist.

It’s one thing to have an agenda driving your policy, but we shouldn’t tolerate outright lies.

This week's People Watching marked a year of doing it. Loving this weird gig, thanks to to Sunday mag for having me, and thanks to everyone who has followed it and shared them, and massive thanks to everyone I've drawn - look at all these cool people I met

Yeah outrageous

Big tobacco have realised that rather than lobbying government, it’s much more efficient to *be* government.

Anti-science, anti-evidence, ideology-driven government.

"The Government’s former science advisers say ministers ignoring official advice and research on the impacts of their policies shows the Government views data and evidence as “inconvenient”."

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

While I understand some of the criticism around Labour’s cut to Winter Fuel Allowance…

I have absolutely zero sympathy for people like Roger

Who text into @mrjamesob’s LBC show

…and got dealt with accordingly.

Yesterday we listened to old Luxflakes banging on about workplace culture and how working from home is bad.
My own experience is that wfh doesn’t affect culture or teamwork at all.
What crushes teams and their motivation is restructuring bought on by mass redundancies.

If only we could work out what these people who got stuff thrown over them have got in common.

A Wellington cafe is offering customers the chance to save money by using a little bit of te reo Māori - something which could help the normalisation of the language.

This is the sort of pillock you get when the Race Card has been slammed down, and you fail to call the bluff.

A small minded, low courage, and greedy little man who scorns educating himself .
An ignorant and callous pretender to the PM position.

Begone foul wretch.
