“A few bad apples” is always used to deflect criticism of systemic problems in NZ.

'Few voters who prioritize bigotry want the diet version, and trying to appease them alienates parts of the Democratic coalition. Yesterday’s vote shows that the path to defeating Trumpism is not accommodating it, but opposing it with the values of freedom, equality, and affordability.'

Nope."

Betteridge's Law remains as true as ever.

"...any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word "no". The reason why journalists use that style of headline is that they know the story is probably bullshit, ... but still want to run it."
