$6.1 million to The Spinoff from taxpayers

We've tallied up all the taxpayer money given to @TheSpinoffTV (an online magazine for millennial lefties) by @NZonAir.

The total: $6.1 million.

$2.4 million of that was from the last 12 months. pic.twitter.com/rKRC9D4GEP

I was stunned by this amount. The Spinoff is a very left leaning website that seems to have the taxpayer as their major funder.

I don’t begrudge them for appling, but what on earth is NZ on Air doing throwing so much money at them. My God they got $175,000 just to interview some youth political party leaders!

Here’s the data I’d like to see. How many viewers did each of these projects get?
