Waning trust in media alongside a failure to uphold standards and whitewashed investigations has NZ outlets in a bad spot. We discuss the examples of negative framing for Tamatha Paul’s comments about police, and the direct engagement between media leadership and far-right astro-turf groups. When will NZ political and media leadership pull in line with the electorate and reject the accelerating fascism in the US under Trump?This episode’s co-hostsSimone, Oliver, Kyle, GinnyTimestamps0:00 Opening1:30 On Gaza 9:14 RNZ Investigation14:18 Media Trust17:20 Prison Systems26:56 Discourse Machine 38:00 The Free Speech Union and NZME43:00 Bail Act48:13 Americanizing NZ53:18 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

1/200 S2E127 - The Shenzhen Zone
We start with a school lunch update. The NZ Govt is trying to take back control of the economic narrative with an Infrastructure Summit, amid global trade uncertainty.

1/200 S2E126 - Doge in the Manger
As Callaghan Innovation prepares to shut up shop it’s making one last pitch - a hackathon to design a “NZ DOGE”. What the fuck does that even mean? And what is happening with the transplant of US tech culture and propaganda into the NZ discourse?This episode’s co-hostsKyle, OlivierTimestamps0:00 Opening 3:05 Americanized Language7:25 NZ Exceptionalism12:58 NZME 19:31 DOGE24:25 Selling Securities28:55 Cynicism31:12 Ministry of Regulations34:49 Callaghan Innovation43:45 ETH Global48:04 Institutional Power50:58 NZ DOGE52:38 ClosingIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

1/200 S2E125 - The Centre Cannot Hold
We get the chance to swing at Labour for their latest fumbled PR and what looks like a signal of further centrism. School lunches remain on the agenda as one student gets second degree burns. And multiple high profile political roles are on the way out.This episode’s co-hostsSimone, KyleTimestamps0:00 Opening 0:45 Labours Fumbling8:24 Campaign Mode21:46 Aggressive Centrism24:38 School Lunches34:14 Minister of Health41:05 Fired Over Trump48:07 ClosingIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
