I wonder are all other Eu countries, or the US, still as obsessed talking about covid as the Irish media are?

It's got to the stage now that whenever I hear the word covid on any program I just click it off. Can't listen to it anymore, would just melt your head.

Is that not part of the problem, they made a balls of the 60 to 69 age group? They are not fully or effectively vaccinated.

BOC takes every opportunity to undermine NPHET and the CMO week in week out.

He's been pushing covid misery since he got this gig.

I don't listen often enough now to know that he runs down nphet, as I couldn't take his misery every week. If he does, it doesn't stop him ramping up the RTE backed hype around the disease every week.

Alison O Connor not allowing his usual bias and giving the obvious solution of allowing vaccinated people indoors and unvaccinated outdoors

Every week the show revolves around covid, and usually negative stories.

This guy now, is saying just open up, and he's an infectious diseases expert. But BOC is trying to swing it round to staying closed

There is hardly anyone in hospitals. All the old are vaccinated. The country and many businesses are on their knees, we need to open and get back to normal.

I heard him for about a minute today. I turned it off immediately. Why oh why is he speaking like an American teenager? With the uplift at the end of a sentence? Is he that impressionable that he apes this speech pattern? Thinks it cool? I gave him a minute today and that was more than enough.

I THINK he believes that the ridiculous fake accent makes him seem sophisticated and “superior” to an ordinary Irish accent

As it happens I’ve known a number of gay guys from rural ireland over the years who “affect” d4/American accents - perhaps a psychoanalyst can work that out

2. If not, why mention any producers at all - just say that there are great Irish producers and leave it at that? I’m sure that there are loads of fantastic Irish producers that Rory has never heard of and who won’t benefit from the free publicity that Rory gave his chosen producers today.

Was he on to promote the product? If so its a free interview for RTÉ. Right?

The point I was making was about the products he was promoting, not about Rory himself - Rory was promoting some very specific producers in a similar way to how social media “influencers” work. I have two problems with this:

1. Is he being paid to do this promotion?
2. If not, why mention any producers at all - just say that there are great Irish producers and leave it at that? I’m sure that there are loads of fantastic Irish producers that Rory has never heard of and who won’t benefit from the free publicity that Rory gave his chosen producers today.

Men are wearing more shorts in public due to the covid inspired 'sense of sensuality' in the air.
Nothing items follow one another like night follows day on this show.

I find him quite irritating.

He's probably call me a backward homophobe for saying that.

It's a great pity he's experiencing this nonsense from random troglodytes though.

Om. Om. Om.
The affectation is pretty annoying alright.
And yeah, RTE insider - especially weird when you consider how much his big gob cost them.
