TVNZ less fair and balanced than Fox News

Bill's snip-snap zaps TV's script
Emails about a Television NZ promotion featuring Bill English reveal his staff rewrote parts of the script. But the changes saved the Finance Minister from appearing on national television making scissor gestures with his fingers and saying, "It's time to give the snip snap to the zip zap plastic fantastic."

National got to edit the party political broadcast that TVNZ ran for them? WTF? It’s official, TVNZ is actually LESS fair and balanced than Fox News. If I were National I’d be disappointed that I was only 60% in the polls with a million bucks worth of political party broadcast. The bias in the mainstream media towards National was apparent again this week. Funny how Bill English’s bash a bennie was accepted last week because apparently (for the 4th time) the Great Recession was over and yet this week, unemployment jumped .5% and yet not one word from the mainstream corporate media questioning Bill English on his bash a bennie moves. How can you bash a bennie based on the idea that it’s okay because the recession is over, when the unemployment rate continues to leap frog up? We don’t know the answer to that because the corporate mainstream media are so in love with National, the question hasn’t been asked.

A Government able to edit their own promo? When the hell did TVNZ become as fair and balanced as North Korean state television?
