Whoopi Goldberg is a big supporter of Critical Race Theory – but Whoopi did a whoops recently – and it showed just how flawed Critical Race Theory actually is. It was a spectacular own goal.

“This Is Us” actress Milana Vayntrub decided to share the details of her abortion story because she’s haunted by the prospect of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.While we expect Hollywood to push a pro-abortion message which ignores biology and the rights of the unborn child, the Washington Post also went looking for small liberal (and confused) churches . They managed to find one. You'll see the confusion for yourself.

But it’s not us saying this. It’s people from the media!Veteran producer Tara Henley, who resigned from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (public broadcaster) last month, says that the network has abandoned journalistic integrity to embrace "a radical political agenda."Significantly, she says "It used to be that I was the one furthest to the left in any newsroom, occasionally causing strain in story meetings with my views on issues like the housing crisis. I am now easily the most conservative, frequently sparking tension by questioning identity politics. This happened in the span of about 18 months. My own politics did not change."Have a listen to her concerns - and warnings - which more and more in the media are starting to find the freedom to express in public.

Euthanasia has only been legal in New Zealand for less than three months, but already we are seeing some disturbing trends, including the speed with which someone can request and then receive it (despite claims that this was unlikely to happen). And check out the Ministry of Health’s (and Newshub’s) spectacular own goal!

Are you guilty of using "non-inclusive" language? Naughty you!!The University of Washington in Seattle has released a list of words to "replace racist, sexist, ageist, ableist, homophobic (add transphobic) or otherwise non-inclusive language".Find out whether you've been a naughty boy... er..... girl..... er..... person.

“Jessica then Tova” is now almost as much kiwi slang as the phrase “yeah right”. There’s even merchandise available based around it.But did you know where it came from? We don’t want to skite, but…

Sporting competitions from time immemorial have segregated men and women. To do otherwise would give men an unfair advantage due to physical difference. But in the brave new and confused world of 'gender ideology', the accomplishments of female athletes are being undermined. Here's the latest example - this time in the sport of swimming.

Despite all the more pressing social needs such as crime, homelessness, drug abuse and inequality, California wants to create a “sanctuary” for abortion. Not only is that an oxymoron (to call it a “sanctuary”) but it shows their obsession with killing the unborn child.

“Critical race theory” is a radical and dangerous new way of thinking about human identity and value. Depending on your race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, gender identity and disability, or a combination of those – termed as intersectionality – you ARE the victim. You HAVE been oppressed. The recent Jussie Smollett in the USA case highlights the flaws in this theory.

Bob shares an enlightening video about abortion rights that he received over the weekend. He also exposes the confusion and contradictions in the weekend column by Stuff's Andrea Vance attacking Christopher Luxon's views on abortion.

Parliament this week passed a law that renders birth certificates as meaningless, and which continues the relentless push to nullify biological sex, and the scientific accuracy of male and female.

A new well-intentioned Government strategy aims to eliminate family and sexual violence. Unfortunately, it fails to deal with a number of 'elephants in the room', and will simply add to the list of failed attempts by Governments over the past 4-5 decades.

When the Government is developing policies around important social issues, the statistics that are being used to justify the policy should add to the credibility of the message. But in a number of cases, the opposite has happened.

In 2020, the majority of politicians (who ironically are already born) voted in one of the world's most extreme abortion laws - but they did a very good job of hiding its true effect.It's time to expose their campaign of misinformation.

Most of the mainstream media were in full attack mode on the new leader of the National Party - because of his Christian faith and his views on abortion, euthanasia and cannabis.When was an atheist last challenged about their values?

Political commentators labelled the actions of the Government this week as a "constitutional disgrace".What were they referring to, and should we be concerned?

The Government wants to scrap the 'Three Strikes' law, saying that “the public don’t like this law”. A poll has found that just 25% of New Zealanders want the ‘Three Strikes’ law repealed, including just 29% of Labour voters. Almost half of Labour voters want the law retained.And is the law working?

Some media in the media are raising the red flag about the Government controlling the narrative - via the media! We should all be concerned by that.

The NZ media are showing a selective silence on some key issues. Even ex-journalists are expressing concern.

The broadcasting watchdog (BSA) has said that they no longer will consider complaints of bias against a broadcaster. All the broadcaster has to argue is that the other side of the debate 'might' be heard on another programme or on another broadcasting platform. But kiwis are concerned that the media are not always reporting the fact, but rather, pushing their own narrative. Now that accountability is even less.

If the Broadcasting Standards Authority didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all. Their hypocrisy and flawed thinking is exposed in their latest policy statement.
