The RNZ Tiriti poll is a classic example of Smug Savvy Media Brain. They did the poll because it's summer and they needed a story, then they framed it that way because they think it reads as "look at these awful racist people* and not "the views of awful racist people are newsworthy and valid"

I do remember when Judith Collins leaked the name and details of a public servant to the right wing attack blogger Cameron Slater and then the public servant received personal attacks and death threats. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Key, English distance themselves from Collins
Prime Minister John Key and deputy Bill English are distancing themselves from Justice Minister Judith Collins' actions in passing a public servant's information to a blogger.

Nothing to see here, just an under reported coup attempt in the world's 6th most populous country, Africa's largest economy and a major oil exporter. 🙄

I remember this disaster leading the news in Britain so it's my first memory of a major news event. I wasn't quite 6 at the time. RIP Gus Grissom, Edward White & Roger Chaffee.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
