TV3 & Mediaworks = Fox Network
Possibly a bit harsh.
Whilst a strong arguement can be made that Mainstream Entertainment has been consciously dumbed down for 30 years not only do I think NZ is not yet USA but also the slide / descent to that particular wasteland is preventable.
Fox is a a megaphone for right wing bulls#!t and keeping the watchers stupid. TV3 is starting to do the same thing.
