Healy would have problem as he would agree with it all.

Tbf, I thouhgt RBB got off lightly on the whole, though that's more down to the sheer quantity of bull**** he comes out with.

That segment about the sensitive political journalists was hilarious. Some of the texts had me in stitches. "Maybe the journalists need a safe space". "Snowflake journalists". Brilliant stuff!

Looks like newstalk are having tech problems.
Ads ain't working and pats been doing "this day in history" for ages now.


Gotta give him props for professionalism.

He did say something was up with the computers before all thus

Even the pooch from Up would reckon right-wing humour is getting a tad unsophisticated these days. "It's funny because the squirrel gets called a snowflake." Theoreticians of comedy, get your thinking caps on!

Hope this bill is passed.

Is it right wing humour? It was just texters humorously reacting to the overly-sensitive Irish Times journalist.

I guess the point is... where was the humour? It was just standard right wing cribbing. 'Snowflakes' haha?

Somehow I doubt it was Irish Times journalist considering they are banned from Newstalk and Today Fm for the guts of a year.

You're right. She writes the Irish edition of the Times. Is that owned by a different group?

Completely different, The Times is UK newspaper with subsection for Ireland. I subscribe to both and they charge me separately.

It's not really humour, no. But pretty clearly right-wing. To paraphrase sometime's line about Rudy Giuliani, some people seem to think that if you have a noun, a verb, and "triggered" in a sentence, it's utterly hilarious.

The IT is owned by a domestic trust (highly originally called the "Irish Times Trust"). The Times (of London) by Rupert Murdoch, the international tyrant.

You're likely not the only person to be confused. Vinnie B was always saying how one or other of the newspapers had scolded him for giving their respective name in a confusing manner. Or maybe he'd said "The London Times", which is clearer, but they don't care for it, as they're officially just The Times. (You'll call us by our proper title, ya little bollix, etc.)

Some good times surely but what about the grinding poverty, backstreet abortions, religious domination, Magdalene laundries etc, give me 21st century any day.

RBB was speaking some sense for a while there, wow! Great panel discussion overall, talk radio at its best today.

Had to laugh this morning when pat talking to the english guy about Ryanair. ....He says ....'of course pilots earn more than you or I Pat but that's because they do a very important job......blah blah blah......to which pats only response was .....'hmmmm'. The guy obviously isn't aware of how important a job radio presenting is in Ireland given the amount they get paid !!!!

Jeez that must be the 4th week in a row the technology slot has promoted the Huawei phone after someone 'texted' in asking which phone to buy.
I think She also said she has one herself,
I wonder was it given to her for free to review?

It's not as if it's going to be head and shoulders above the array of other similar or better spec'd Android phones either.

Pat's inherent anti-union bias on display again today (and yesterday). It is becoming very tedious. I wonder did RTE keep his natural inclinations in check, or is this to do with the editorial line of Newstalk/O'Brien.

I reckon when pat was a child, his parents hung a bone around his neck so the dog would play with him!

Does he have an anti union bias? or does he just ask them relevant questions?

From what I've heard it's the relevant questions option.

I think Pat Kenny is the least partisan presenter around. He challenges everyone he interviews equally.

Here's an idea for Pat, get Seth Barrett Tillman and Scott Lucas on the show together. Should make for interesting listening. I would hope two academics could engage in a civil discussion.
Seth has a tendency to lose the rag when he's riled, l taught Pat was going to blow a fuse the other morning when Seth hinted that been an academic was higher up the pecking order than a humble broadcaster. I nearly died laughing. It was great radio.
Seth seems to rub alot of people up the wrong way, but in my opinion it's good to hear opossing viewpoints.

I actually had Seth as a lecturer in college. Would never have guessed he was a Republican.

I love Pat, he is great, but like all of us he has his biases and his position on unions is pretty clear. I am not saying it is awful or anything but it is unquestionably there.

I'm not sure if he is a republican. Was he a good lecturer?
