The use of the word some, or majority etc goes along way.it's laughable (probably outright insulting to some) to even compare NZ to Hitler and nazi germany - in any respect... 
I have seen news on TV1 over the years that pertains to the government that is skimmed over, no depth. For one when it became public knowledge and shocked the nation that Judy Bailey was on $700,000 a year for reading the news. (She even read it out herself)
The Hitler remark is just giving empathises that if we are not careful we run down the propaganda route.
The government does a good turn by creating a fund for media, and suddenly that is a slippery slope to fascism? which seems to be your implication.  Most rational people would consider it a government doing its duty to prop up or reinvigorate a declining industry.
Most rational people would also just change the channel or turn off the tele if they found the newsworthiness of the broadcast wanting -  not jump up and down with claims of conspiracy and propaganda, just because they glossed over someone's salary... 
I mean FFS surely you appreciate that you are not going to get a less biased POV in the alternative media where there is no fact checking, and ulterior motives everywhere...  
and yes if you are the lone solitary peaceful protester amongst the CT rabble, you are tarred with the same brush.  It would be all too easy to lie your way out of it by claiming so if society had not learned over millennia that people can lie and change their story pretty quick when confronted...
The world would be a perfect place, if it wasn't for the humans.
