Today in the local newspaper, the Otago Daily Times, there’s a story on how such pro health groups as Voices for Freedom (VFF) are spreading disinformation and that they are a threat to local democracy. The title of the article is somewhat inflammatory itself “Concern candidates not being upfront”. I myself was somewhat surprised not to see acknowledgement that it was advertorial for Pharma fascists and their quislings but I guess considering all media is currently paid for by them, via our democratic government, what should really happen is that articles not paid for by such should be acknowledged along the lines of ‘no dirty lucre from Pharma Inc went into the production of this article’.
Interesting that I don’t get a mention as the local journalists are certainly aware of me, right Hamish? Is that upfront enough?
I have the suspicion that election forum invites are not turning up in my inbox as well. Something that also occurred when I ran in 2019. Too…
