The Dispatches Left Foot Media

In today’s episode we take a deeper look at the controversy that has arisen over a proposed new Māori language translation of the Christian Scriptures. I examine how good intentions can easily lead to serious errors if sacred traditions are not carefully safeguarded, and popular culture is considered more important than prudence and truth. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Last weekend a very diverse coalition of individuals and groups gathered together in Wellington for the Unsilenced event - a one day summit on gender ideology. Just days later, the NZ media outlet The Spinoff responded with a piece of inhumane and unfair reporting that can rightly be described as ideological agitprop. In this episode we dissect that article and show how it has mislead the public and unfairly treated a group of ordinary people for not embracing progressive ideology. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

Last month Black American author, scholar and podcast host Coleman Hughes appeared on the mainstream TV show The View to discuss his brand new book The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America. It’s fair to say that things got extremely awkward when one of the hosts tried to malign his character instead of actually engaging with the substance of his work. In this episode we dissect this interview, and what it might have to teach us about rational dialogue. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia 

Earlier this week a 1News survey showed a drop in support for the current NZ Government. Just a few hours later they broadcast some truly embarrassing and woefully self-sabotaging reporting about this poll result. In this episode we dissect that piece of coverage and highlight its falsehoods, misleading claims, and fantasist hyperbole, and how it all came crashing down less than 24 hours later with the publication of a different new political poll. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia
