Yes, and particularly if you listened to his stand-in today and said "stop f***ing interrupting your guest!!"
Spoke over Carol Vorderman a fair bit, alright. Thought, maybe, she might have just been excited.
Brenda Power on the panel again today. She’s on this show almost as much as some hosts are on their own shows on RTÉ.
What a shower, do they actually believe some of the nonsense they come out with
The answer to that would most definitely be “yes”.
I honestly think Brenda Power and Michael Harding live in the rte buildings.
Oh for the love of God, the political 'pardy' journalist is on again…me head is fecking wrecked
Good call Payther, said like a veteran poster here, excellent take up if events .
I think this is often the case. I'm generally very cynical about the whole mental health guru shtick, but I think Bressie is one of the more genuine ones (I think he's doing a PhD in the general area).
Who is this young woman on the panel who said she lives at home to save for a mortgage?
Don't forget Alison o Connor
Michigan with a “t” and Chicago with an “r”. The national broadcaster no less.
Anton Savage on Newstalk from 10-12 is a great alternative. Well worth a listen
Jesus, yer man on the voxpop that thinks the FBI were the ones who stormed the White House…
A nutter of course, but unfortunately there is now millions of people like this who genuinely believe the crap they read.
From 10-11 yes. I enjoy the panel stuff on a Sunday…usually
The bias and consensus on this panel is hilarious, not a counter point offered all morning no matter what the topic.
Well we know there will never be anyone who will be allowed to say anything positive about Trump.
Discussion about US politics is always one sided in Ireland.
I wasn’t specifically pointing towards that, but yes I’d agree on your thesis.
One minute endorsements mean nothing, the next Musk’s endorsement of Trump is “dangerous”. Which is it guys and gals?
What are the “positives” about Trump? Fear, hatred, division, lies, sexual assault?
At least she offers a slightly different perspective to the usual guests, I am honestly surprised that she hasn't been banned from appearing asher views don't really fit the govt and NGO consensus on a great many issues
Very often the case on certain topics (depending on the guests). You might get BOC throwing in a gentle counter but no chance with Dearbhail…her politics is always very obvious on so many issues.
Anton's panel had a bit more of a balance this morning..at least tried to understand why the non nutjobs decide to vote Trump
I think the point is why voters in the US vote for him, even with all of this, so trying to get into that gives some kind of 'balance' or insight.
On this show or Radio 1 in general? They've had several Republicans on various shows in recent weeks. Some Trump loon fawning over the prospect of "Bobby" (RFK Jr) being in charge of health was on either Drivetime or the 1pm news show during the week.
I thought the John McCain POW jibe would have been the end…
I'm not a Trump fan, but aren't debates in the media meant to be debates? That is, 2 sides arguing over something. When you have 100% of your guests anti Trump it doesn't lend itself to unbiased reporting.
I didn't hear those contributors, but you have to admit that they are nowhere near a 50/50 split when debating US politics. It's not unbiased reporting.
You can't just have contributions from the side you agree with all time.
But millions still vote for him. Even if I think he's unfit for office etc., etc., I still want to hear some kind of analysis as to why the non MAGA crew still opt for him, despite not really liking him. Larry Donnelly, for example, even as a Democrat and definitely not a Trump fan, gives a bit of insight. Balance in this context doesn't necessarily mean it has to be pro/against.
You see, this is the problem. You do have to “both sides” it, as if you don’t listen to or debate the issues from both sides you literally dismiss one side as being stupid and not worthy of listening to. The inevitable result of not being listened to is people will entrench further into their position if they feel they’re not being heard.
Both candidates this year are absolutely awful, neither (for differing reasons) should hold an office as high as this. I say this and my politics would be Democrat. The race shouldn’t be about which is the lesser of two evils.
