When I lived in New Zealand in the mid 80s I noticed the news coverage was just a tad slanted to the left. While I met plenty of Kiwis who were conservative, mostly military and cops, most of the others I met were decidedly left. Now that may have been a byproduct of dating university age girls. ;\)

The Nuclear Free Zone thing was big news when I was there. Carried a slight anti-U.S. sentiment with it also, but when I talked with people about it they had no real understanding of the issues it was purely an emotional thing for them. I wonder if the rise of the internet has opened up some minds or are they as many do just searching the new to validate what they already want to believe.
