    News media should be referred to as agenda media. They have their agenda and news comes 2nd.

    Serious lack of reporting on the sulky racing on the N7 the other day too.

    Of course, you can't bring attention to that. There's propaganda ongoing to make us think travellers are just like the rest of us. :rolleyes:

    Someone on the Sanders For President Reddit forum was decrying CNN's obvious pro-Clinton bias throughout this US Primary cycle and advocating a state funded impartial media source instead. I was sorry to have to point out that we have that here in Ireland, with impartiality mandated by law, and it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. From downplaying the size of protest marches to downplaying bad news which the establishment wants hushed up, our media has become a joke.

    What's the reason?

    You will probably find its due to cost measures.Ireland is too expensive for roles like this now, these jobs probably are moving to eastern Europe where people taking the calls speak 3 languages and do just as good a job, for 30% of the price. They can have 10+ countries supported from one center which makes the cost even less.

    The days of companies with a large global footprint having low-mid cost products being supported in UK and Ireland are coming to an end.

    Isn't it a nice world that you could make such a choice.

    In all fairness, I said I would rather. But to be honest, I would just look for another job. It's not even the work, or the chance that you'd be dropped like a hot stone. It's that your treated like a piece of dirt from what I have been told by people.

    I think we should all ring Joe Duffy and other phone-in radio shows nationwide

    Mooney: Pat is on line 1 to talk about a squirrel problem

    Pat: Good afternoon Derek. 300 JOBS LOST IN DUBLIN AND NOTHING ABOUT IT ON RTÉ OR OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS.

    You should write a stern letter to the media.

    Sorry that's utter nonsense. I hear this accusation the whole time which normally relies on cherry picking a few examples to 'prove' the point whilst ignoring all other evidence to the contrary.

    I've had somewhere say to me 'Did you see that yesterday.... obviously they were told to write that/everyone knows who's pulling the strings/towing the government line/etc'. About things I wrote.

    Sometimes journalists are biased. Different outlets have their own style, too. The Independent has a unbridled and unashamed hatred for Sinn Fein, for example. But none are taking orders from the government, the subterranean lizard people, trying to hush hush protests, or anything of the ilk.

    Those living in fantasy land who seem to think we live in North Korea need to get a grip on themselves.

    Don't know in this particular instance but many companies employ workers on rolling contracts and it's seasonally based, workers are often let go at short notice. They aren't reported on as much. They could be employed again in the same job in a month or two.
