    I'm not blase about the current economic situation, but I'm not bothered that the press conference coverage was cut short by a few minutes. It was all very much predictable in it's content.

    The reason why I imagine it was cut short was due to RTE's scheduling as there is a live "Week in Politics" just started on RTE 1.

    What?

    People were watching the circus on RTE led by a Clowen when Mary Byrne was on X factor.

    Can't believe people got their priorities the wrong way around :mad:

    Perhaps we should be more concerned about their coverage of the IMF press conference tomorrow. The 2 Brian's didn't tell us anything new tonight and it was the same old yada yada that they've been spouting for years now.
    The big lads in Brussels and the IMF are the ones holding the reigns now and we should all be tuned in for their announcements over the next week or so.
    I would imagine RTE will improve their coverage after tonight's debacle.

    So RTE should not bother their arses broadcasting the event in full because you think the content was predictable? Are you not even annoyed that it wasn't even advertised? I'm sick of your blasé too-cool-for-school smartarse attitude.

    No - you fucking well didn't.

    RTE's been a joke through this whole thing.

    Sent them a different, but suitably pointed mail.

    Dear TV3 news,

    Thank you for not interrupting coverage of X-Factor for that dreary press conference over on RTÉ One. I think I heard one of your presenters on there before it was quickly taken off the air, I turned back to TV3 patriotically to see what's happening with Mary Byrne.

    Kind regards,

    Avid Viewer.
    If there was a thumbs down option I would use for this comment. People who watch x factor sh1te have very sad lives. I presume you know that it is all hyped up to get more idiots to vote.

    All this collective anger at RTE over their coverage of the freefall of our State seems slightly misdirected to me.

    I don't see why. At least on X Factor the comments were uncensored. And Vincent Brown didn't start until 22:30 to see the bits that RTE didn't want to broadcast.

    RTE are basically the PR department of FF. Even on the Week in Politics Hanafin was allowed away with any ****e she spouted while Dobson critiscised anything Bruton and Reilly said.

    It was a pity Dobson was presenting WIP.

    In relation to the press conference I watched on both RTÉ One and BBC News 24 and they seemed to start at 8:30, while I understand that they shouldn't have cut from the conference when they did I don't see the problem with the time it began at????

    They needed to hit the news at nine on time and were misguided as to when to leave the press conference and how important it was. Simple as that.
