Especially with the 506:“Spinoff is known to be strongly left wing. Not so much because of ideology, that's just the market they and their sponsors are aiming for.” 478:). There’s also the poll by Kiwiblog/David Farrar, which shows Spinoff 78 points to the left on a scale from 100 left to 100 right ( 125: 86: 465:“Spinoff TV comes out of the Spinoff website, which is a venture run by young angstys with a fairly obvious left-leaning bend.” 479: 409: 460: 470:), and more recently Bryce Edwards, with the softer implication, including Spinoff-published commentary in a piece titled 61: 475: 350: 27: 490:
