State broadcaster TVNZ & Maori TV are being propped up financially by taxpayer-funded NZ On Air to produce programmes to remind you that LGBTQIA+++ is here. Because, apparently, nobody knew! We check out one of the episodes on “The church & the rainbow community”. There’s a couple of really really interesting bits in it – and some very creative theology and even some historical revisionism.
Stirring the nation since 2022. We check out the five most watched episodes on YouTube.
David Seymour did what any interviewee of the news media needs to do whenever they are interviewed. Take their own recording of the conversation. It got the desired result. Checkmate.
The media reported a tragic case of a pregnant Georgia woman who was brain dead but was kept on life support to give birth – but the media screamed that it shows how bad abortion bans are. As expected, the media is pushing a false narrative. We do a fact-check.
There’s a new online course available in NZ by the Dark Times Academy entitled “Unmasking Theocracy: Project 2025 and the Christian Nationalist Agenda”. No – not a cooking course. It’s a ‘cooker’ course. They seem to be wanting to ‘import a culture war’! We check it out.
You know those horrific “imported culture wars” that Chloe Swarbrick, Chris Hipkins and the media all go on about? You won’t believe which culture war they want to import here now. We examine a Stuff article from last week which discusses the argument for incest – and gets completely muddled in the process.
The mother of a just-turned-17 year old who died alone in ’emergency accommodation’ says it appeared there was “wilful blindness” on the part of professionals…
New Testament theologian NT Wright has held a variety of both academic and chaplaincy posts at Oxford, Cambridge, and McGill University, Montreal. He was Canon of Westminster in 2000, before serving as Bishop of Durham between 2003-2010. He is currently Research Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Early Christianity at St Mary’s College in the University of St Andrews and Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. But in his latest podcast, he has confused the pro-life issue, and it needs to be corrected.
There’s a new book on the shelves – a memoir from former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern – entitled “A Different Kind of Power”. There has been no shortage of coverage from certain major news outlets in both NZ & overseas. This episode of McBlog is not focusing on the author and her responses in the various interviews (which you may be relieved to hear). What we are going to examine and call out is the woeful lovefest from the so-called news media which is supposed to be the ‘fourth estate’ – but now is predominantly a cheerleader for the left. Their interviewing of Jacinda Ardern proved just how pathetic they have become. It will also show why Mike Hosking, Heather du Plessis-Allen, Sean Plunket and FOX News never stood a chance of being granted an interview.
This week there’s the so-called ‘Pride’ week in schools – ‘pride’ in extreme sexuality indoctrination and gender confusion – and there’s also Samoan Language week – celebrating a culture. We can learn the words and greetings that are important to Samoans in their language OR we can indoctrinate ourselves with terms such as asexual, bisexual, cisgender, heteronormativity, intersex, non-binary, pansexual, sex assigned at birth, transitioning, transsexual. Not really a tough choice, is it.
