They did. Those four people you heard clapping? That's the remains of Fianna Fail.

Just like when mammy o rourke was rolled out to defend john odonghue....what a f*cking sick joke on the taxpayers

I thought I heard a few claps but also what sounded like a drowned out booing.:D

Relying on the state to provide you with a service are we Permabear?? Tut tut. Uncle Milty would be displeased.


What did Martin have to say anyway? Not that it matters. It seems the Euro is heading south fast.

He was last on the show so the questions were fairly rushed not enough time to ask manyof the questions I would like to have heared he was going on about some conference he was at down in Cork I think about the new generation of FF coming through etc.

That show has been a FF publicity vehicle since it started.

Yawn - you do realize that the leaders of all the political parties have been interviewed in the past, and will be interviewed again in the future?

RTE are required to show balance in coverage.

Yet, do they?

The 2 part piece on Cowen, which singled him for the blame, rather than FF.

On the same night, Mary O'Rourke's nice chat with Aine Lawlor - and she also talks rubbish on several other RTE programmes, too.

At least viewers in the US are not forced to pay for the propaganda from FOX and MSNBC.

Mr.Micro

I saw the clown Meehole, shouting at Enda Kenny the other day in the Dail, accusing EK of frightening people with all the talk of benefit cuts and so on. I had to laugh at the pretend outrage from Meehole, its like he just woke up after 11 years in Government......when he did not shout at all. What a fraud. Poor RTE still have not come to terms with FF not being in office so make do with giving it every opportunity to appear on TV. Recently we had O'Rourke on one to one, Ahern with Murphy, Meehole with the other FF stalwart on the dire LL show. Pathetic.

Nice to think though that the next leader of Fianna Fail hasn't been born yet!

An impossible task TBH and one they don't really seem to take too seriously either.

There's no "balance" if an entire show is dedicated to Albert Reynolds with the likes of Joe Dolan telling the audience that they're looking at the next Taoiseach, six months before a leadership challenge...for example

Not to mention the rapid attacks by Tubridy of other leaders when they were on as guests and the inexplicable entire show devoted to FF when their poll numbers plummeted last year before the election.

Edit: that last one may have been the Frontline (still RTE though)

Don't forget the grovelling cringing apology to Biffo over the paintings of him......and how apt the works were, after what followed the paintings were positively flattering.
