TONIGHT With Vincent Browne

JonathanAnon

The one problem I have about the Moriarty Report is I dont understand what Michael Andersson had to gain by lying at the Tribunal... The judge has effectively discounted his evidence completely, for no obvious reason..

I assume you're playing Devil's Advocate Johnny.

The perhaps not so obvious reason was that tons of other info countered Andersson's assertion - to the point it became irrelevant. If it wasnt it would have tempered the judge's decision.

Jesus, we've seen enough of Joe Higgins over the last few weeks thanks. We can all assume he believes every piece of high profile news that comes up is a failure of capitalism, we don't need him around to keep telling us.

No. I'm genuinely confused as to why the judge would completely discount the evidence of a person who has presided over (depending on who you ask) between 70 - 200 of these sort of licensing competitions... I thought that if he was gonna be so direct and blunt about things, he would have first gone after those higher paid people in the upper echelons of the Department Of Communications... Surely they are more to blame ?

No sympathy for S Carey because of her conduct but I think a lot of people have been looking to drop the "newspapers shouldn't hire bloggers because they devalue 'the craft' " - it pretty much started when she got her IT column - and here's your man on vinb "I'm not sure how she's even a journalist". Thanks dude, I thought I might have to wait a few more days for that but you came through.

My point being that S Carey might not have been a proper journalist but plenty of proper journalists have been right numpties - especially ones who took a cheque from the redtops, qthe Daily Moan and the Duckworth School of Journalism. Also - Carey broken tribunal rules by leaking but it didn't stop Stephen Collins taking that illicit material and publishing it - too many journos don't give a crap how material was obtained even when they know the only way it got to them was illegal means.

Of course Stephen Collins should have published her name what had she to hide as she seems to think she was right.

Dennis the Stone

It's going to be called Friday Late with Vincent Browne, and I understand there will be a couch...

The latest from the tweet machine ...

JEDWARD, Former Eurovision winner Linda Martin, Dragons Den entrepreneur Nora Casey & popular** radio presenter Ray D’Arcy.

will be the guests on 'Friday Late with Vincent Browne' tonight at 11.25pm


** not a word I would use to describe Mr Darcy, I'm only quoting.

They should put it on earlier to challenge the late late.

They tried that with Dunphy and got their ass kicked.

It's smarter to schedule it post-Late Late.

Surely it's a Mario sketch? I mean Jedward aren't really going to be on Vincent Browne's show tonight are they?

They've even got a new logo for the Friday Night Show

Wow! It looks nothing like the late late show, the graphic, the font wow! Wonder if they will commission some music for it.

Brown > Dunphy

Plus they used to have a bit of auld serious discussion on the late late show. Not this tripe with people hauled over from the UK, or Irish people who got famous in the UK, or an Irish sports team no one cared about before they beat the ..um....UK.

I really wish FG would include RTE in their public asset fire sale.

This line up looks more like a typical LLS one, although it's bound to be far more entertaining. I hope Vinnie tackles D'Arcy's claim he would leave the country if Enda Kenny became Taoiseach.

What will be discussed I wonder? Jedward are bound to have their own unique take on the bailout and the CCCTB afterall.

well it's posted a loss of 25 million last year... You really have to take your hat off to the privately run radio and TV stations, who receive no state funding. . particularly TV3 and Newstalk..

I'm reliably informed that it's definitely the real Jedward, not Mario rosenstock.
