Paul,
That's what makes me wonder!.
Is this just being manipulated to the advantage of a few, to tax the many.
George,
I barely watch TV, I spend a lot of time fixing them though.
I don't watch TVNZ news, because it is biased, as most news coverage is these days, they only show you what they think you should see(which is normally all the sensationalised stories, eg: The Queen and the Royal Family, Animals, Politicians and Auckland, they should call it the 6pm Menagerie!.)
If I want news, I'll go and find it on the Net, if I am so inclined and I'll select the news that
I want to see!.
