Red Alert

The War on News

Posted by on January 31st, 2011

I’ve had a bit to do with Martyn (Bomber) Bradbury lately.

First met him a few months ago when we were on opposing sides of a debate. His team won and though I, and my fellow team mates Shane Jones and Marcus Ganley, put up a credible and somewhat witty fight, we were outclassed by Bomber and Ginette Mcdonald (aka Lynn of Tawa).

Bomber is a bit out there. Maybe that’s why I like him. He’s not afraid to challenge the establishment, and he’s passionate about the values that I hold dear. One of the things he talks a lot about is the state of our mainstream media.

As do I. I know I don’t make myself popular talking about this, but I care enough about it to prevail.

I’m going to post Bomber’s weekly war on news rants on Red Alert. Won’t always agree with him on everything, but he’s a voice that needs to be heard.

Bomber delivers a weekly current affairs programme Citizen-A! The show broadcasts weekly on Triangle/Stratos TV and on Scoop. Bomber also posts on the Tumeke! blog: www.tumeke.blogspot.com. He’s also on various radio stations.

    Why would you put this NZer hating fauxlebrity on your blog..?

    He hates anyone in NZ who isn’t as left as he is and derides them as racists, sexists and capitalistic theives…

    This show’s premise is a case in point, decrying the left wing NZ media because it isn’t left wing enough…

    If he really shares your viewpoint I don’t think someone who hates NZ should be in our Parliament…

    You have got to be kidding. Here is a retrospective of what Cactus Kate and others in the blogosphere think about that village idiot of the left.

    He also had a time on Alt TV The Sunday Roast with his associated from Tumeke and including from NBR ben Thomas.
    A we gem that was lost by the closing down of ALT TV. This was unbalanced

    Did you actually watch it Jeremey?
    Left wing media? I think he points to the lack of real reporting

    Lets face it you could put Entertaiment Tonight on at 6pm through to 7pm and there wouldn’t be much difference.

    Is that the sound of wee tory squealers above? Fox media fans?

    Bomber may be a little ‘bombastic’ in delivery for some but I personally like his message and content. It is no more outrageous for Mr Bradbury to have airtime than the deplorable negative nasties predominant on talkback radio (hateback radio as Bomber calls it).

    Clare seems to have given ample qualification to cover Martyn’s occasional inclusion at Red Alert and as always you do not have to click the play button. Just as I do not click the Kiwibilge link.

    Not having seen Bomber before in full flight I wondered why there was such a scream from the first two comments. Now I see why.
    Refreshing to hear an unmistakable clearly defined set of positions. Must track him down for further watching.

    Spot on True Wheel.
    hurdygurdyman indeed.
    Have you noticed that the more idiotic the pseudonym, the more likely they are Right-Wing Nut-Jobs or (as some call them) the National Party brownshirts.

    (that should be good for moderation :wink:

    Btw, only six more days Spud and we welcome you back. Have missed you and your tongue in cheek humour.

    Bomber is the poor man’s Micheal Moore. I heard him speak when I was younger and thought him to be inelegant and unconvincing.

  9. JD says:

    Is this the same Bomber who works for Mathew Hooton, National party PR hack and his consultancy Exceltium who represent corporate tobacco interests among other things?

    http://tumeke.blogspot.com/2009/09/mea-culpa.html

    Truly he is a man of principle.

    Clare, you should choose your friends more carefully especially in light of his links to Hooton and the National Party. A bit of due diligence on your part would have easily turned up his rather squalid history and dubious paymasters.

    Gotta love the interweb.

    While Bomber thinks he can hide his past by censoring posts on tumeke we’ll make sure people remember.

    BTW does anyone actually read tumeke or comment anymore? Just tallied the comments which comes to a grand total of 9 spread over 11 posts.
