And basically claiming that claiming NZ media are 'paid to lie'. They seem to have lost touch with reality to some extent.

"Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer were arrested by police in Christchurch last week. They host the far-right conspiracy theory website Counterspin Media and are accused of distributing an objectionable publication.
Counterspin Media broadcasts conspiracy theories and discredited Covid-19 misinformation.
Spierer (37) and Alp, a 51-year-old whose occupation is listed as 'consultant' and address was given as being in Woolston, Christchurch, each face three charges.
They are jointly charged that on February 23 this year at Wellington distributed a documentary which has been deemed an objectionable publication under the Films, Videos and Publications Classifications Act 1993.
Alp is also charged individually with distributing the documentary.
The pair are also both charged that on August 25 at Christchurch failed without reasonable excuse to assist a person exercising a search power when requested to do so under Section 130(1) of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
Spierer, whose address was also listed as being in Woolston, is also accused of failing to supply identifying particulars, namely fingerprints and photograph, at Christchurch police station on August 25.
When the case was called, the pair both refused to stand in the dock and represented themselves without a lawyer.
They stood at the lawyer's benches while Judge Jim Large ordered them to stand in the dock.
The pair claimed that they are on special appearance, not general appearance, and reserve all their rights.
"I do not argue the law, facts, jurisdiction or venue. I am only here to settle this matter," Spierer said, reading from a prepared script.
They were then forcibly moved into the dock by police officers and court security.
The judge said he intended to remand them on bail on all matters to seek legal assistance if they want. They are due back in court on September 21 and the judge advised that pleas would be required to be entered on that date."

"After coming out the bail door, Spierer railed against the news media, the Government and Covid vaccines.
The judge did not outline the bail conditions in court but, according to people posting on Counterspin’s Telegram page on their behalf, the couple’s bail conditions include not being able to view or post on social media.
Earlier this month, Counterspin was banned from Instagram after Alp called for a trial and violence against the Government."
