And keep in mind, they showed that video on Prime Time... and THEN hired him afterwards.
So they knew he was trouble. But he was cheap, daddy paid for all his s**t. Benefits of being a millionaire's kid who dropped out of secondary school after the Junior.

When he had his birthday, it was 'skanger' themed. Guests drank Dutch Gold, and dressed like the people paying for him and his brother's lifestyle (and probably the woman who carried Rosanna's sprog). Wasn't well recieved, still got hired at RTe.

I hadn't realised that Damo & Ivor only appear after 2010, I though it was around 2007/2008.

My wife watching the Samantha Barry program

Hilarious that she went a number of times for a job in rte and they turned her down. Now she is editor in chief of Glamour. Worked in BBC, CNN etc

But RTE hires f**king Lottie Ryan. Seriously that just a says it’s all.....

RTE has gone to an new level.

Broadcasting the funeral of George Floyd on RTE news now '' LIVE'' .

That's the straw that broke the camels back for me regards paying for a TV licence again.

RTE can go and fu*k themselves from now on.

Why? Big news story. They possibly got it free or as part of an agreement. News Now is minimalistic at the best of times, either that or a repeat of Six One

Big news story for who, its being on every Radio and TV station 24/7 for the past week.
Its a complete joke with all this feign concern to take the spotlight of our own problems.

The RTÉ News Now Channel was never going to spotlight any ones problem, it's a repeat channel at best at worst its a waste of space.

RTE is probably the most divisive entity in the State.
They stoke any racial embers that may exist in this country and somehow try to convert it into a raging forest fire.
The hate attack by the gang in Cork of the white teenager is one consequence of RTE's bias. Not allowing society to have a "reasoned" discussion about race relations and migration encourages black gangs to act with impunity.

RTE should be an educator for race relations in Ireland, but instead they act as the instigator of fear and division. Continuing to give air-time to a Nigerian woman who obviously hate most white people in Ireland is reprehensible by them.

Do you mean the most divisive media entity in the State?

RTE news made a small boo boo....a member of Floyd family was talking. Clearly a male and they had Floyd sister under the caption

He was doing 'bits' on youtube, round the 2007/ 2008 or before that. IF you go to his 'channel' there are only 4 videos up there... :rolleyes:

I think he got nervous over the s***e he'd been peddling, some of which he's made 'private', I imagine.

I think 'Skanger me banger' was one of the first s***e videos that got him noticed.

I knew a few folks who tried to imitate the production qualities of his videos-most were a lot better too. (Quirke spawned a lot of clones).

Totally Off topic, but where's the social distancing in this post on rte's site?

If anyone from outside the country watched TV or listened to the radio in the last week and knew nothing about Ireland,
The would diffidently not want to visit here with all racist Irish has being peddled by RTE all week.

Instead of promoting the country the run Irish people into the ground, shower of clowns.

At least someone is interested in it so to spot that, enjoy it, and see can you spot an white person in it.

Most of what I heard on the subject this week was people (many of them Irish) giving their testimony of personal experience of racism.

Anyone thinking of coming to Ireland would probably be aware of racism in their own country.

Get it right for ourselves and it will be right for visitors.

And what about Ebum Joseph ( and i'm not going to call her ''Dr'' because its an insult to doctors) peddling her racist Irish all week, the might as well give the idiot her own channel.
Everyday she is trying to stir something up and RTE are giving her free reign to say what she likes.

Is this the woman you are referring to?

Seems well qualified on the subject to me.

That module she "teaches" is one she made up and the college accepted
Her whole life revolves around blacks are always discriminated against by white people regardless (tho she never seems to have found it hard to get work...)

They gave Louise O'Neill her own shows, tons of promotion, lots of interviews etc etc etc based on a 'Rape culture-it's everywhere' platform... she then proceeded to paint about 200 people as rapists based on a non-existent facebook group that 'rated female students'.... which had a massive investigation, and then found nothing.

We're gonna be stuck with Ebum for a while... and then when she doesn't get a show from RTE, she'll cry racism.
Might even rope LON into that too.

What makes you think RTE won't give her her own show?

Idbatterim · 09-06-2020 11:40PM

Did rte report on Dublin being the most expensive city in the eurozone earlier?!

The opposite-I think they will give her her own show. That's why I said 'We're gonna be stuck with Ebum for a while', and then when RTE don't give her a show (After many failed shows-because all these shows fail. Same as LON's) she'll play the race card.

History repeats, frankly.

retalivity · 10-06-2020 08:02AM

Ah, LON...she fairly piped down once she started getting the ride.

The Ebun Joseph situation is ridiculous, she is really making hay with the served-wrong-drink-must-be-racist 'incident', but i guess that's exactly the cause célèbre that RTE loves.

WATF?

Did that really happen? Is Woke McDermott the Director General of RTE now?

Broadcasting the funeral of a man who held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach and starred in porn? What happened to him was horrific and wrong, but let's not pretend he was an angel.

The "RibenaRacist" as my father calls her. She's actually doing m ore harm than good with her ranting. I abhor racism btw.

I am not sure you can avoid paying the licence fee. I resent having to pay for a channel who seem to dislike me (rural male white) before they know anything about me.

believe this was the Ag society in UCD and there was no trace of a whats app group....which she kept doubling down on saying there was...the only one that challenged her was Anton Savage on Today fm and you could hear her progressively getting pee'd off when he suggested it could happen to fellas about pics been shared around...(sadly they took down the audio when Savage got the boot from Todayfm - might be on youtube)

The law society chamber thing was on her show and she couldn't get the concept of innocent till proven guilty iirc

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was put in the shade by it all.
