    Shocking stuff.

    You should ring Joe to complain about that.

    Is great to stop people from protesting and keep them quiet

    People call up, vent their anger and hear "Yea, yea its terrible, sorry to hear that... Time for a commercial break! (while I rush off to collect my 450,000e for the year)"

    Thats it, then people think they've done their bit, their frustrations are gone and the next day forgotten about. Modern day interactive propaganda at work. Joe Duffy is worth a lot more to the government than his wage with all the public unrest he's prevented

    Does this mean every form of media, be it television, film, music, radio or whatever, should be exempt from negative criticism because the detractor really shouldn't have been watching/listening to it in the first place if it didn't tickle their fancy?

    If you don't like this thread then don't post in it.

    If you don't like my posts then don't reply to them

    You can see how it gets a bit silly when taken to its logical conclusion.

    If I didn't like something I would not listen, watch or read it.
    He has a lot of listeners so people like it. I listen if i'm in the car and it's interesting, I cannot abide Joe himself.
    Saying that he brings some things to peoples attention. It's not all bad.

    Firstly, it is not always possible to avoid the media we dislike. For example, I worked in an office for 5 years, which meant I was subjected to 8 hours of Spin103 or FM104 every day for the duration of time I was employed there. It wrecked my head; I cannot understand how people are happy to listen to the same 10 (bad) songs over and over in some audial version of the Teletubbies for so-called grown-ups (Again! Again!). There's also a good chance that someone whom you live with is into awful ****e, which will put you in the firing line far more often than you'd like.

    Secondly, I didn't notice anyone in the thread mention that they're avid listeners of the show. It's possible to be aware of a program and have a decent idea of its content without devoting hours of each day listening to it just so that you can gripe about it on the internet.

    Saying "Well I think there's some merit in the show and here's why..." would have been perfectly reasonable.

    "If you don't like it don't listen to it" ranks down there with "Yeah, well I'd like to see you write a better song" as the ****tiest argumentative gambit known to man.

    I hate Joe Duffy. The man has described himself as a radical Catholic.
