RTE slams "secret" producer for telling the truth?

Kermit.de.frog

Didn't see a thread on this. If already just merge! Someone is dishing the dirt behind the scenes at RTE on twitter.

Some good stuff and not surprised!

I'll try get screengrab so you don't have to read it all

It's media speak for "strongly disapproves"

What has he said? Is there anything actually intelligible in all that? And how does anybody know if it's genuine?

It's not really fair to leak secrets about an organisation after you've left.

Sorry, I just realised that this individual is still working with RTE.

That makes it worse.

Any chance of a summary of the "dirt" they are dishing

RTÉ refused to comment. While unnamed bosses 'criticised'.

Now where did I leave my pinch of salt

Of course the account could be fake...but it does go in to some details of work practices at the station so more than likely genuine.

I'm lost where's the dirt?

1/ The senior producer (we call him Pervy Patrick to his face) of the 6.1 news turns down the thermostat to Igloo-type levels right before going live so Sharon's nips stiffen up

Can't see them anymore since they've dropped below the desk

I didn't question the account I question the 'sources'

I was hoping for some "Ray Darcy is actually a bunch of mangy cats held together by a neck scarf" type revelations.

Ryan Tubridy is actually two greyhounds stapled to a child.

Here's a good one... it's easier to read when you click on the (Edit/correction, don't use Twitter either) tweet itself, so if it starts with 17/ it will be the 17th in a long string of tweets on the same topic by the guy. I thought it was probably a prank but you've got people like Graeme Linehan confirming details below.

https://mobile.twitter.com/rtesecretpro/status/908622108724486144

Ridiculous, and I'm going to go ahead and assume it's true with people like Linehan (way too big to give a fiddlers what RTE think of him) backing it up!

Wait, I'm confused about this. So the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up?

Exactly, RTE is dying on it's feet and they are desperately trying to justify themselves.

An interesting insight into how the organisation runs. Those who had any dealings with them in the past won't be surprised.

Oh...and for readers looking for juicy details on the likes Tubridy or Darcy here, it's not that kind of expose. It's a glance though at the incompetent, backward, wasteful management of RTE. An organisation who only recently were making their latest attempts to cry the poor mouth and extract more money from the public, whether we use their services or not.
