Today OneNews report, not as opinion, but as "fact", the following:
"Should the final count erode their slim majority, waiting in the wings is Peters' populist NZ First party".
A few weeks ago, OneNews' John Campbell stated:
"So, the party [ACT] that began life as the pure and profoundly neoliberal offspring of the father of Rogernomics, has become a populist party".
Amazingly, someone - probably with NZ connections - has included on Wikipedia's list of "populist" leaders this guy:
"Christopher Luxon"
Alongside Luxon's name on that list includes Pauline Hansen in Australia, Fidel Castro in Cuba, Recep Tayyip Erdogen (of Turkey), Marine Le Pen (in France), Slobodan Milosevic (from Serbia) and Vladimir Putin (of Russia).
Of course, the word "populist" is often used as a perjorative. Populists are characterized by standing on a platform that the nation has been taken over & subverted by an elite - in history those included in that elite have regularly been Jews and intellectuals. Labelling ACT, NZ First and National as populist is ridiculous.

Don't be fooled or trust 'wolves in sheep's clothing'. Corporate MSM are still and always have been propagandists.
A John Campbell opinion piece that is as vindictive as kicking someone with steel toe capped boots.
OneNews TURNS Partisan?
OneNews IS Partisan and has been for years.
John Campbell really is a terrible excuse for a reporter and he works for a terrible excuse for a TV news station.
His voice and manner instill an overwhelming urge in the poor listener to buy/steal/borrow a top of the range set of noise-cancelling headphones.
But then you still have to look at his hang-dog face and all the faux-concern expressions.
Just don't tune in and leave John in his vacuum of woke emotional angst.
John Campbell represents all that is reprehensible in the MSM.
His fawning over Maori ideology is sickening to say the least.
Like all of them, traitors to the core with zero respect for democracy and what it truly is to be a New Zealander.
