Sarah McInerney (RTÉ Drivetime)- her voice drives me nuts . Can’t listen to the show anymore

I'm not too bothered about her voice but i found her interview style far too combative. What's that all about, why do politicians put themselves through those interviews. Comfortably paid safely employed RTE journalists behaving as if its all about them and their career progression.

I respect her. I think she sort of realises that some of these politicians get a seriously soft interview.
I think she feels like there's a need to do hardline interviews, because it's sort of been a staple to do hardline interviews.
Only in more recent times have interviews gone seriously soft.

Gaybo made P Flynn comfortable and the beans came out of the tin.

Sarah comes in like an annoying school teacher dictating and setting the tone.

That worked so well back in 1999 that politicians remember it and are much more cautious of falling into the same trap. The only way to achieve anything like that now is to relentlessly and ferociously beat the tin in the hope that a few beans might accidentally escape.

If you want to get the good stuff then build trust.

If you come in combative then the mark gets defensive or even worse starts feeling sorry for themselves and strikes back.

Never liked him, came across as a right annoying prick, who loved himself and insincere, he was always too anxious to jump on the latest social justice issues and tear down anyone who didn't agree with his point of view, if these allegations are true he's the biggest hypocrite going and all the hate people have for him (and it's a lot) is justified

Never trust a man that openly, and repeatedly, calls himself a Male Feminist.

Re Sarah:
She deffo fancies herself as being hardnosed - she is trying too hard to model herself on Claire Byrne and it just doesn't work! Can't listen to Sarah anymore..

Claire Byrne is a soft touch tho.

The easiest interview one can get.

She might need to take a step back and think about other options if she is just copying Claire.

I had to do a search on imdb for the presenters and further down did I see Guscott. I only remember Ulrika and John Fashanu myself.

Dermot Bannon

Why is he a thing?!

I don't watch or follow him but I inexplicitly can't stand him. I'm just fed up of always having to hear about him or hear him. Dermot Bannon does some tv house show, next day, social media post of previous show goes viral with some shock build or conversation had. Switch on radio, Dermot Bannon is on the radio talking about some new show he has coming up. Go back to tv and he's plugging Vodafone or some other service, then it's the angelus at 6 featuring reflective images of Dermot Bannon on site, in his studio, walking in a garden, selling Vodafone etc followed by the six one news read by Dermot Bannon. A series of Dermot Bannon programmes follow culminating in Dermot Bannon singing the national anthem at close of station.

That's seems to be RTE operating mode now, lots of twitter and Facebook chatter even before the show goes out, fabricated minor event ,pumped out of all proportion, gives the impression that many more are watching than really are

Apart from being a woman who presents current affairs programmes, I'm not sure how you think she's modeling herself on Claire Byrne. If you had said she's trying to model herself on Vincent Browne, John Humphrys or Jeremy Paxman, you might have had a point, but there are no similarities whatsoever between Sarah McInerney and Claire Byrne.

I've never understood why some people don't like it when journalists ask tough questions of politicians.

I don't get the hate for Sarah, anytime I've seen or heard her, she comes across as very competent with a thorough knowledge of the issue being discussed and tries to get to the point without beating around the bush.

Same. I think she's one of the underrated interviewers, personally.

I think it's more to do with the fact she's a woman. Plenty of men feel a female presenters job is just to sit there, look pretty and occasionally titter out a softball question, they just don't like the thought of a woman challenging a man.

Eamon Horan, RTE sports guy on the news.

Just something about his head, he has an inexplicably annoying head.

Miniature in stature. A colossal c*nt in personality and nature. Never worked a day in his life. Stealing a living from gaa county boards for years. Brown nosing media personalities and outlets to push his sordid show where he gets off on abusing average randomers feverishly like the little puddin knacker he is. Its snuff by any other definition. I'm assuming he treats people the way he does as he's on the spectrum or was tormented brutally by his equally piggish father. As thick and ignorant as is possibly comprehensible or conceivable.
