Me too , woke blokes are always running from something

I feel like Seth Rogen 'distancing' himself from James Franco is less about the accusations against Franco, and more that Rogen has something to hide.

He jumped on the woke bandwagon so quickly (including adverts that preached down to folks) that it felt like he was hiding something.
Still does.

Ah that’s harsh All Franco did was set up an all female drama college in which all students must sleep with him

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Lots of explicable things to dislike about Connolly, on and off the pitch.

A very talented player, but not the goat as some claim, he was only at the top for a few years. No Ciaran Kilkenny or Con O'Callaghan, or outside Dublin Clifford, Peter Canavan, Maurice Fitzgerald, Matt Connor.
