    It's a fact that RTE have been a joke during this, this isn't the thread to discuss it so I won't be saying further, but it's a fact.

    Its conformation bias - people expect to see bad news on RTE and have decided that all RTE present on Covid is bad news so thats all they see / hear.

    In reality, there are just as many positive as negative stories
    That's just not true. And you know why people expect to see bad news? Because they more often than not focus on the negatives. Case in point this morning on Morning Ireland and their presenters (whether they are ill-informed or ignorant is another matter) choosing to discuss the J&J vaccine as if the pause is permanent. Not mentioning that the FDA said it would only take a matter of days. That is selective journalism, and misrepresentation of the facts.

    I think you may have meant to quote somebody else, your post doesn't seem to have any relevance to the point I made.

    No . I am replying to your assertion that young people are being asked to take a vaccine that is a danger to them .

    Everyday every significant positive story is greeted with a chorus of posters declaring "you wont hear a word of it on RTE" usually followed within a short period of time with it being reported on RTE. Its tiresome in the extreme

    That Israeli good news

    Yes . What a pity they aren't ensuring that the Palestinians are getting their supplies.
    Then it really would be " hurrah for Israel"

    I agree in general, but every evening on the news there's at least 2 "And here's Mary Murphy, living in rural Cavan...." followed by some tediously boring self-story.
    We all have our own story from this pandemic - we don't need to be bombarded with more of them.
    If they need that to fill the 6 o'clock news, they should shorten it instead.

    It will be very interesting to watch UK figures compared to Israel, with the different mix of vaccines. Of course there are lots of other variables, be we can certainly learn a lot from the counties coming out of this ahead of us.


    Given that the 'coming out' will be a protracted affair, I wouldn't be so sure that the UK will fully emerge before we do.

    Took this scrolling screenshot on the morning of the 20th of November about RTÉ burying good news. The good news is more than halfway down the page, *well* below the fold. What's front and center? A hospital outbreak story, not the article with the good news about a 90% drop in fatality from the second wave. RTÉ is, and have always been, shítty.

    Anyway, last I'm saying because it's gonna derail the thread.

    The journalism in RTE is generally sh*te and lazy. Doesn't mean outright nonsense should be left unchallenged

    RTÉ’s top story is about the extra vaccines and their 2nd story is about Zebo returning to Munster.

    They’re all out with the good news today.

    Well we could have done with this focus on ventilation last year, and in the long run if it would help with respiratory infections in general. But right now main focus needs to be on vaccines.

    Building architecture and codes have been influenced in the past by diseases. I wouldn't be so dismissive of architects providing opinions on features of buildings in a post covid world.

    Gombeen is a bit much.

    That stuff about slane Castle and rugs is hilarious. I think possibly Sam McConkey has decided to start satirising himself?

    She doesn't have to an expert on Covid, there is 20 times more spread of Covid indoors than outdoors and ventilation is a big part of this. Better ventilation will reduce spread and it is an something that we can reasonably do.

    It is ridiculous to describe her as a Gombeen.



    In this thread people say things should be opened up and when people proposes measures to allow things open up then they sneer at them. :mad:

    Heard that in the background in work and nearly chocked on my coffee. 10,000 people at Slane, all sitting politely on picnic blankets 2 metres apart. Totally workable Sam!

    The point about ventilation is very valid, with proper ventilation systems everywhere we would hardly be in this mess we're in at the moment. It's applicable to any pathogen transmissible via aerosols or small droplets.
