Paul Williams interview on Tubridy.

Any one see Paul Williams on Tubridy tonight?
Interesting interview, but I fear hes gotta be a trophy hit for the criminal element at some point. I really do hope he's not digging an early grave for himself.
Brave man in any case, I'd be terrified of expressing those views on television and writing about those kind of thugs on a regular basis. It made me think of a few AH threads, the Limerick/Covert Ops one in particular. Calling out the McCarthy/Dundons and Keanes on national television like that is definitely not something I'd be in a big hurry to do at the minute.

That was the worst interview I have ever seen on a TV screen. Tubridy had absolutely no interest in the subject matter, typical of the toffee nosed privileged smarmy git that Tubridy is. He even suggested that if Williams actually wanted to do some good, why did he not join the Gardai??? Williams looked visibly bewildered by such a stupid and woodenheaded remark.

Bad and all as Pat Kenny is, at least on a serious subject like this, he would have gotten the approch right. Tubridy hasn't a f*cking clue how to do an interview, how on earth the guy has a show of his own, it something I'll never understand. His show all tonight was full of rediculous smutty sexual remarks with an intended double meaning that were absolutely cringeworthy, it's no wonder his wife left him.

Interesting how when Paul Williams said that he thought the government were responsible for protecting criminals, the interview suddenly 'moved on'. Good man Tubbs, way to get the best out of your guests... and at the end Tubridy's quip 'take care of yourself', patronizing or what!

Have to admit I don't really rate Williams as a journalist. But with the way things are going, atleast somebody is naming and shaming those ****heads in Limerick. What FJB said about how Tubridy handled the interview was probably more of an RTE not wanting to say anything sour about the government at the moment after the whole paintings-of-fatboy cowen-incident.

Paul Williams said that the government want to bring in privacy laws which will prevent certain people being mentioned by name in the media in certain circumstances. While this will help some people how may have connections in high places, it also prevents criminals being named in the media also. I think he called the new laws a criminals charter.

What's this now?

He was saying Dermot Ahern is trying to bring in a law to protect peoples privacy in the media. He didnt go into the details but he said it will bring an end to him naming criminals in his reports.
