I consume current affairs media every day and I'm amazed at the manifest nature of the bias-and not only on RTE.
In interviews,rightist views are queried far more than leftist. Texts of a right wing tinge are challenged and 'corrected' by the presenter where texts from a left perspective glide uninterrupted through the one way filter.
This position is unlikely to change because young entrants to the media with degrees will have already been moulded firmly into the approved PC mentality by the sociology and media studies background they emerge from. University depts. of Sociology and Education gave long since fallen into the clutches of the PC brigade.
It would be interesting to have this whole area studied both in a qualitative and quantitative way-but then the researchers would almost certainly be of the left anyway!

I watched the Late Review on TV3 last night,they discussed the migrant crisis but this was astonishing.
Tom McGurk chaired,he had two with the usual liberal views but amazingly there were two with dissenting voices.
Equally amazing was Mcgurk asked the hard questions,so much so that when Colette Byrne finished her emotional piece she was flummoxed when asked a relevant question,she was visibly thrown and never recovered.
On Newstalk radio we have Ivan Yates who asks the hard question but on the topic of immigration he never asks the questions,that's done by the fawning Chris Donoghue.

i seen that wmfb tom was impressive i thought,delaney was also good..collette was easy beat.i think she often engages her mouth while her brain is in neutral.shes a constant fixture on tv3 most nites..usually saying whats in the papers the following day.i feel she more suited to that..
On all the discussions on the migrant crisis I have seen only one view has been allowed.
RTE think its a given that all are on the one side,panel after panel composed by people who want to show they are more compassionate than the previous contributor.
Their panellists often are gentlemen like Barry Andrews who gets paid a huge salary to indoctrinate the people,its also often hidden.
Any women they have on are guilt ridden wealthy ones who lunch and have nothing else to do only show their compassionate side.
I don't think the Irish people are in favour of taking in more chancers,its too much like a plantation for us.
The young Irish being forced to emigrate and being replaced by idle members of the religion of peace.

people are copping on fairly quick to whats going on really.i see a slight shift in rte of recent days also.
Agree,the question the emotionalists can't answer is how many they would let in.
They are beginning to realise this is not going to stop,at some stage even the Germans are going to put their hands up
If they take in 800,000 and they expect us to take in 40,000 that's just this year,they will keep on coming,we will have to do the same next year.
Another aspect to this is chain migration,if they are given asylum they are allowed bring their families in,huge fraud goes on here but at least three or four elderly relatives will come here for each individual,they will qualify automatically for a medical card and will need medical treatment.
Another pull factor is once established here they communicate to friends about this great country that pays you to do nothing so they want to come.

In other rte news,you have record levels of homelessness,nearly 10% unemployed,record levels fecked out on hospital trolleys as no beds,is it fair on the Irish themselves as the "house" is certainly not in order.
good topic vubiant and, as if there's not enough of his largely ignored rants about immigrants, it's immediately hijacked by our resident WASP.
I like the following line from said wildman:
Any women they have on are guilt ridden wealthy ones who lunch and have nothing else to do only show their compassionate side
terrific piece of nasty, misogynistic diatribe
*******
My own detestation is the prominence given by RTE to norn iron affairs. North of the border we hardly exist down here and I'd shed no tears if the opposite attitude applied. Tentacles of the shinners all pervasive and, if you have an ear for such items on the national news, it's nauseating.

It wasn't hijacked it was responded to,something that vexes our intolerant liberal.
RoyalAcademy calls me mysogynistic yet he champions the most mysogynistic people in the world.
Worse still he thinks to should all be let in.
One thing you can guarantee he is Barry Andrews like in that his views are coloured by his greed.

I consider rape kind of mysogynistic but RoyalAcademy who pretends to worry about comments on wealthy women has no problem importing a whole host of young men who view rape as a form of punishment,some people will do anything for money.
as paulie might say, your a great man for the labels dan. I rarely respond to you here: broken record with no compassion for man or dog.
I have compassion for the Irish,I have compassion for the people affected.
I don't make money pretending to be compassionate.
'twas you doing the labelling,mysogynistic was the ironic one you used,it rebounded on you.

you fulfil one useful service here dan and that's your trolling virtues. I doubt you repeat these views too often in the everyday but at least on here you display what men are capable of without pity or compassion. Don Quixte and your lapdog Sancho Panza come to mind
Look inside your hearts, heed the advice of Emma Lazarus (below) whose words are inscribed n the plinth of the Statue of Liberty and lift your lamps, Gentlemen, lift your lamps.
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Doubt if the compassionate one has actually read Don Quixote but if he had he'd see himself in Ricote.
At his dinner parties he and his rapacious friends will talk about compassion,will say how moved they are,will demand action but they themselves will give nothing and will find some way to turn it into an earner.
