Lockdown means we are stuck at home, some alone with only the television for company. We are all at the mercy of axe-grinding, knife-wielding media and celebrities. These scum of the earth loom larger than ever in a crisis.
John Campbell perfected the art of exploiting unfortunates until his ratings dropped when viewers tired of his vomitous renditions. He was forced into exile and although he is back now (media were desperate) fortunately he is avoidable.
TV3 reporter Paddy Gower is also back after a shorter voluntary exile. He needed time out to recover from a public shaming from Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern. After being denied a public speaking platform Gower unwittingly provided one for them. It was a joyous sight indeed to see Gower’s vacuous argument cut into tiny ribbons in his own backyard and at his own invitation!
After licking his wounds Gower learned nothing about doing your homework first. This week he loaned a willing ear to the collective of ex-Gloriavale whiners who were no doubt overjoyed to exploit super-whiner Gower in their quest to get even with the community that shuns them.
“We have a lot of reports coming in that Gloriavale is not – and possibly does not – have any intentions of fully following the Government’s regulations,” says Liz Gregory.
Gregory runs the Gloriavale Leavers’ Support Trust and is calling on authorities to act.
“They will not let people self-isolate. I know that people have asked to be provided with accommodation to self-isolate in – and been denied,” she says.”

Gregory knows full well that each Gloriavale family is allocated one dormitory-style room to house their larger than average families with an unlimited number of children. Their founder, Neville Cooper, had 16 children and short of asking the Chinese to fast-build more accommodation there is actually nowhere for Gloriavale families to go. Besides, the Gloriavale community is already physically isolated from the wider community.
Super-Stuff believe their mission is to save the world. While we hide away at home Stuff super-staff (try saying that quickly) will venture outside. But do they have the superpowers to discern the virus floating in the air the same way Greta sees CO2?
The only thing we owe them is a kick in the pants for exploiting a crisis.
BFD writer WH has asked why TVNZ has reporters stationed outside parliament when parliament is suspended? Why are reporters camped outside the Nelson hospital which has a Covid-19 patient in ICU? Why are reporters filming from deserted streets? Why indeed! The definition of essential services has been stretched beyond recognition. Let’s put this to a public vote: which is the essential service? Roaming reporters at the above locations or the Mad Butcher who has been forced to close?
Then there are the tiresome celebrities revelling in an opportunity to grind an axe. Trump-hater and apparently now anti-Semite Rosanna Arquette issued the following tweet, which was later deleted, insinuating a Jewish conspiracy behind Covid-19.
Then there is Sean Penn who thinks he is well equipped to offer advice.
Penn is a media mouthpiece which latched onto American youth as the best opportunity to unseat the Don. Desperation indeed. Let’s see how Penn’s wishful thinking pans out.
“I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that Donald Trump is going to win the presidency next time and that’s because I’m getting a sense that it’s going be an exponential jump in young people who are going to say, ‘No thanks.'”

I’m declaring a draw because it’s literally impossible to separate these two mutual admiration societies. Media and celebs bounce off the other to grind their anti-Trump axes and wield their anti-semitic knives.
They don’t run our countries though, do they? And no one wants them to. Now, who is going to tell them?
