^^ In case you didn't want to hear more about bondholders and community projects in the North Inner City (of Dublin) and wanted to get straight to the red meat.

Oh, and there was Gwen Halley's little piece from 2005 - http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/browned-off-with-sexist-twofaced-village-mentality-474322.html - If he's sore about that I wouldn't blame him. She was allegedly* a vindictive little cow, and is now wife of *gulp* Eoghan Harris.

As we are talking about wives, Aengus Fanning's second wife, Anne was previously married to Eoghan Harris.

*Lets keep the lawyers happy

Just listening to Vincent Browne on DriveTime there getting really stuck in to that new IMF guy earlier today.. asking him did he think it was right that they should force us to inflict severe austerity measures our own people (who had nothing to do with Anglo Irish Bank) to pay back unsecured bondholders...

I listened to Vincent on Matt Coopers show and he had Brian Hayes on and Matt played the tape of Vincent and said to Hayes how do you respond to that and off Mr Hayes goes on a waffle filled rant and Matt just sat back and listened, Jasus Matt you could learn a lot from the likes of Vincent Brown.:mad:

Philip Boucher Hayes then followed up by querying both the IMF and ECB separately as to what their responses would be if Ireland decided to default on some of these unsecured bonds...

I heard that on my way home too ... Vinny did his usual soapbox rant & was brushed off but PBH actually got answers. As PBH said 'more than one way to skin a cat'. Go PBH ..

Thank god we have Vincent to remind these guys that the whole scam is a crock of poop.

The guy remembered Vinnie from 2 years ago

he will be scanning the room anymore to see if the bould Vinnie is there. Or more EU like he may be banned in future.

Typical RTE, not showing Browne haranguing yer man in their report.

I agree, it probably had something to do with the big TV3 mic he was holding

Interesting that the RTE reporter, Sean Whelan, was sitting beside him.

Wonder if they get on, or not?

To be honest, I'd say most journalists have respect for Vinny. Who will ever forget when he asked Mr. Haughey where he got his money from, he has always been a bit brazen

He just happened to find it in the back garden of Kinsealy.

That would have been funny if so many supposedly sane people were happy to believe it

In fairness though, why would they? RTE have the whole thing up on their player and at the end of Vinny's haranguing he makes reference to his show so why would RTE promote a competitor? I doubt TV3 will be showcasing any questions made by other reporters on the VB show tonight.

They are the State broadcaster, and don't like 'troublemakers' like Browne. Instead, we get clueless lapdog interviewers like Miriam O'Callaghan

Remember when they cut off their coverage off just as Browne was grilling Cowen at that infamous conference, while SKY stuck with it.

Perhaps, but they have previous form on this. Vinny launched into a brilliantly indignant tirade against Bertie Ahern at the 2007 Fianna Fail launch for the General Election and RTE didn't cover it.

More recently they cut away from Vinny again when he asked Brian Cowen if he felt any responsibility for 'screwing up the country' at the Bailout Press Conference in 2010. Even the BBC carried that, but not RTE.

There's not promoting the competitor alright, but it's more likely to do with Vinny's abortive stint at Prime Time and his criticism of RTE's market dominance. And Vinny had a nice dig at them last night over the new universal broadcasting charge. You could even see the veins in his neck :P

Mind you, the problem with the TV3 model of broadcasting is that Vincent cuts to a 10 minute ad-break right after opening the show ...

BaZmO* · 20-01-2012 12:03am

Lads, I agree with ya a 100% but I'm just saying that it's hardly surprising.

MungBean · 20-01-2012 12:05am

Not flippin showing on TV3 live player :mad:

jimmyw · 20-01-2012 12:06am

good man Vinny,this needs to be said.I was enjoying the grilling he gave them, until it was cut.Hopefully we will get the full amount on the show tonight.
