It is a promotional television spot for Bill English, which he is using to advertise himself as Minister of Finance. Calling the program 'Plain English' simply increases TVNZ's exposure to accusations of bias.
I do like when you post Deane, nothing like a good laugh at someone else's ridiculous comments.
Its endorsement. Full stop. It is an advert endorsing Bill English and the National Party. Thats not all. Every dam morning we here Bunting in the morning have John Key say "Hi I am John Key and this is Bunting in the morning". No coincidence that Stephen Joyce was the CEO of radio networks.Of course the TV, media and news papers prop up National. Its so blatant the joke is "One News brought to you by the National Party"Now, how many insurance companies advertise in the media, and who is going to benefit with the governments reforms?News is directed by top management.
