    both march the 10th
    says four "teenagers"
    http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0310/drogheda.html


    same day says six "non nationals"
    http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breaking-news/ireland/four-held-after-attack-on-two-couples-in-co-louth-14220249.html
    The belfast telegraph said that "up to 6 foreign nationals were believed". At the time they didn't know it was fact that they were foreign nationals and were speculating. Sure they ended up being correct but at the time it looks like they didn't know. They could have also said "up to 6 foreign nationals, one of which is believed to be the lovechild of Pat Kenny and a small goat....".

    What's your standard of a racist race?

    Irish, Polish, Lithuanian and the Aussies win it for me.

    Well given that the video you link was made by a flaming racist who believes RTE not mentioning the nationality of the attackers is evidence of a conspiracy between immigrants against white irish people, yes, I think racism has a bit to do with the thread.

    So how exactly is not mentioning the attackers nationality "failing to report the news"?
    And why is their nationality important to the incident?

    EDIT: and, for like the third time, can you provide another example of RTE "failing to report the news"?

    Do you feel it is not important?
    I think it is a very important thing to report on.
    Your just arguing for the sake of arguing.Your silly racism comments were childish and had nothing whatsoever to do with the subject.

    Are you seriously going to argue the guy who made the video isn't a racist?

    And again: can you provide one other example of RTE failing to report the news?

    And have you examples of them tampering with the facts to further these ends?
    Or anything to support this at all?

    Why is the nationality of the attackers important?
    Can you provide one other example of RTE failing to report the news?

    Chop86 infracted for calling another user a bigot.
    Chop86 infracted a second time for calling a user a neo-nazi
    Trouser_Press infracted for calling a user a misogynist
    polishpaddy infracted for referring to "silly racist comments" being "childish", after repeatedly refusing to engage in the discussion when questioned about the video (s)he posted.

    And for good measure...there doesn't seem to be any sort of a discussion here either, so I'm locking the thread.
