On Air Bullying TV3 NEWS

NeilofOrange

Am I the only one picking this up but is there some sort of on air bullying going in TV3 news? I can't help but wonder?

If you're watching TV3 right now I think you're confusing bullying with debating! :D
There is a lot of sexism going on though...

"Successful" in that it succeeds on spouting bull****, making people stupid, scared and easier to control AND getting them to pay for it at the same time.

I always ask this of people who use the phrase but no one ever answers, so perhaps you can shed some light on the topic: what exactly is so "lefty" abotu RTE's stance...?

Union chiefs are given prominent airtime on a regular basis , representatives of charity's the same , hardship stories are frequently given centre stage ,political stories from the states have a clear bias in favour of the democrats

I disagre with most of that (right wing politians are given as much time as union chiefs (RTE are nto goign to bite the hand that feeds), charities - fair point, hardship stories is HARDLY a lefty slant! The Daily Maill/TV3/Sun ALL do this, and most European networks tend to be more Democrat aligned, althought the BBC is giving plenty of net time to the Republican primaries) but thank you at least for answering.

Women can bully men with almost complete immunity , not much a man can do when he's in that situation other than walk away

Not sure what you're saying: I would argue that both equally entitled to air thier views on a national broacaster, irrespective of how they attained their position? Or have I missed your point?
