    When you're losing Mikey super serum Cernovich…

    @Cernovich

    During recent visit in DC, the talk of everyone was how overt the corruption was. It's at levels you read about in history books. In nearly every department. Lots of, "Do people just think Democrats will never win and they'll all get away with this?"

    ACT wants the end of the BSA

    (And no online regulator)

    (And the end of public funded media – RNZ)

    (Wants to sell TVNZ)

    (wants funding for Maori Radio and Maori TV made more contestable)

    That would leave it only ideologically embarrassed by NZ On Air continuing to exist or any film and TV series production subsidies.

    Will New Zealand sign the

    Declaration on Information Integrity

    The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change today launched the Declaration on Information Integrity at COP30, establishing shared international commitments to address climate disinformation and promote accurate, evidence-based information on climate issues.

    The Declaration commits signatories to promote the integrity of information related to climate change at international, national and local levels, in line with international human rights law and the principles of the Paris Agreement.

    These nations and 2 others have signed on

    Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Uruguay

    RSF will ensure that these commitments are fulfilled, paying particular attention to the protection of environmental journalists, the sustainability of media outlets covering these issues, and the closer regulation of digital platforms, where misinformation circulates freely.
