We need more left-wing media and for people to pay for that so it can happen, supporting people like Tui, BHN, and some others on Substack is a start.

I agree!! First choose who you can support and make a regular payment. It can start small and be altered to more at times using internet banking and the Ko-Fi Club portal or/and Subtract. Also choose your Political Left Party and give them a regular "cup of Coffee" or more if you can manage it. Otherwise send their work to people, talk about the sites. Contact your local Party rep.

Well done as always MT! And don’t forget the Otago Daily Times, which is not beholden to any wealthy owners, and frequently has good Editorial s!!

We’re not alone in this, Tui. It’s a problem across the world. Unfortunately the monied right are highly effective at distorting reality.

They are! And it pisses me off - but I also know it's real and persistent and pervasive. That level of money is nigh impenetrable.

Thanks, I'll read the article later in detail.
