Once more the NZBC poodle wags its tail in election year. The first wag was when the Director General banned talk-back shows on the radio, now at least two programmes have been deferred, if not rejected out of hand. The first is a National Film Unit Production about erosion in New Zealand- hardly hard-hitting you may say, but anything even remotely smacking of criticism of the Government in election year is avoided like the proverbial pork chop in a synagogue by our benificent television programmers. The other programme is a look at the opium trade that comes to much the same conclusions as the Salient article did on the same topic earlier this year - that the CIA, even if it didn't grow the stuff, connived its trade for the purposes of helping its friends in Asia.
