Ridiculous segment.
O'Connor will be sh*tting himself with this topic (Pres. Higgins' comments on Von Der Leyen). The panel are not towing the line.......
"Knickers in a twist" could be the theme of this morning's show.
Great to hear some media criticism of that pompous windbag in the park MDH
By some pompous windbag journalists? A certain irony there.......
MDH has lived high on the hog his entire career, he hasn’t done a day’s work in the private sector.
A pompous self entitled arrogant old fool.
He should resign with immediate effect.
If it irks Alison O'Connor, I'm all for it. Who does she think she represents.
+1 on that front.
Obligatory Trump bashing on RTE programnme! Normal service resumed!
One doesn't have to agree with what Higgins says to disagree with what Alison O'Connor says.
Alison O'Connor is a FG plant.
Alison O'Connor claims her policy is never to respond to Paddy Cosgrave's comments on her, but she's just just unloaded there.
I like the what’s on TV & cinema segment every Sunday.
Depends on what information they are consuming to help them make their minds up. If they conclude on the strength of their research that the election was stolen from Trump, they are on a bad path. Or that they should avoid getting vaccines, and all the other rabbit holes that they could go down. I am with Little in wanting these sorts of outlets being equally subject to the regulation the other media have to comply with.
Hard to tell who is the more smug , Miggeldy or Alison o Connor
both insufferable
At least MDH is elected by a majority - twice. You have to wonder why A'O'C gets the platform nobody else seems to.
A very interesting read.
She’s reliably on board with every respectable view in Ireland, she’s still a Miggeldy fan broadly speaking like the vast majority of her colleagues
Trump bashing should be obligatory everywhere.
I respect a lot of things and Alison would not be one of them nor her views.
Formulaic and Incestuous - yep that's about the sum of B'OC and his radio slots.
Could add Repetitive and Boring too a lot of the time.
Irish Times People.
Which is why ,as I pointed out before, these ‘media diaspora’ will back RTE to the hilt.
They are all ‘in it together’….take a look at most of the RTE front liners,a big percentage of them started
off somewhere in print media.
They see the ‘Holy Grail’ as the presenting job in Montrose and the ticket to easy street.
So when you wonder why they tend to back up RTE, now you have a better angle on it.
I thought that was an interesting slot, but O'Connor could have dug a bit deeper into some of the points he outlined. Like he said something about the future of social media being smaller, more local and where the cost of disagreement (might not have been the exact term he used) being higher. I certainly didn't like the sound of that, but there wasn't time to really explain what he meant.
I used to be more sceptical but I think we need to support mainstream media in factual reporting. Sure they have their biases and not everyone is going to believe them anyway, but it's better than where we are going currently with the level of disinformation, on Twitter particularly. It's kind of scary now the number of people whose "news feed" on social media is the full extent of news they consume.
👍 to Oliver. Got Brendan dead on this week 😂
This writer sounds like he is reviewing himself.
I gaurentee 1000% if that was an Irish band, say the Corrs who released that album (he was pouring scorn on a Duran Duran covers album) it would be the greatest piece of music ever
Did no ballsy pretend that was an actual interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger???
Clearly recorded nonsense (insert Question here) before Arnies recorded answers
Most of the music they play on the radio is pre-recorded as well, you know.
It’s an absurd stick to beat BoC with.
ALL the music is pre-recorded surely ??? (by the artists)
But why can't Media outlets explain that they have a couple of canned responses from "stars" and they have manufactured a few questions..to fit into the sequence.
If RTE actually had Arnie on the line, they would have given it to TLLS.
