New Kiwi Dance – The Ardern Scuttle?

What a pathetic scene in NZ, when that awful woman Ardern bottled out of a question-session on her handling of the Chinese Virus…

…

.

…scuttling indoors to avoid answering an ‘unaccredited’ journo.

So only licensed running-dog reporters get to enjoy access to the Kiwi PM?

Aaah, but the naughty questioner came from Counterspin Media…

—

NB – this is not apparently connected to Counterspin, an American outfit of a leftish hue.

It took me quite a while to clarify that important distinction!

—-

 … and although Counterspin Media, as far as I know, is New Zealand-based, it streams on Steve Bannon’s GTV.

It took me a further while to figure this out, because much of the rat-pack press minimised the details..

.

.

…..and one media leftist bleated that the questioner ‘pretended to be a journalist!’

Other media were confused – the Daily Mail recognised his status…

• Jacinda Ardern has ended a press conference after being heckled by a journalist

…but on the same page added inverted commas to ‘journalist‘ to suggest he wasn’t!

……

===

The questioner, Shane Chafin, was there on behalf of Counterspin Media, and he asked Ardern –

‘Why are the vaccines not working in Israel?’

Nothing offensive.

She could have said they were working, if that’s what she thinks, but she wouldn’t answer him.

So Mr. Chafin kept asking, so his persistence was branded ‘heckling’ and so she did her inimitable Kiwi Scuttle.

Jacinda Ardern

,…

So much for her ‘press conference,’ with no questions allowed from unauthorised journalists!

But bizarrely, here’s Ardern on questions in general.

“As I’ve said all the way through this, we do need to create an environment where, if people have questions and concerns, they’re able to raise them.’

Go figure!
