    He's ultra Right Wing Catholic isn't he? Nothing wrong with this per sé.

    He had a representative from RTE on and gave him a roasting about the way RTE treats Irish Catholics and accused RTE of being full of Labour Party hacks. This is rich seeing as Newstalk seems to be propaganda HQ for Fine Gael with himself, Ivan and George spouting their FG love at every turn...:)

    He also loves the sound of his own voice, even if he does that "Vincent Brown snot gathering noise". The RTE bloke gave it to him when he questioned RTE's coverage of child abuse in Germany. Saved by the news. A bit of a prick IMO.

    He made himself a hostage to fortune with his pre crash "The Best Is Yet To Come" book.

    Everything he has done since then has been in an effort to salvage his reputation as a pundit. He would argue that black is white if it fits with his theories.

    I only caught bits of the interview with the RTE guy, it sounded like he was really going over the top with his criticism of RTE and not only that, but Coleman's arguments were getting absolutely destroyed by the RTE guy. It was fairly entertaining!

    I agree. He's another Pat Kenny

    Had to switch off because of this. He must be the most amateur presenter on radio at the moment. Very disjointed delivery.

    He's going to be talking to David McRedmond of TV3 about how Irish the station is (or isn't!) tonight

    He's a bit of a troll isn't he?

    Coleman's guests generally tend to toe the Sunday Indo party line on the economy. Last night for instance he had a few guests on who were talking about how "we need to stop focussing on what's hapening with the banks and move on". "We need to talk up the economy". Another item was on how to get the property market moving again. Yeah, that's just what the country needs, to re-inflate the property bubble.

    As far as I can see the show is not much more than a haven for vested interests especially deluded property and business shysters, and conservative Catholics. It's comical stuff really. Read some of his pro-NAMA Sunday Indo columns and you get a fair idea of the agenda of this programme.
