    I watched the six one news tonight for the first time in ages. 140 odd new cases... and you could tell the presenter was almost orgasming saying it.

    Utter garbage place to get “news”.

    I used rely on BBC for my news for the past 20 years, far more reliable but lately they’re going down the same road as RTE.

    Yes, but in a cryptocurrency that hasn't been invented yet.

    One day Soros will bet against it and make billions as I lose it all. It'll be a black day.

    With that description I popped up the six one news on RTE player. Well that was a disappointment. If thats what you think orgasms look like I feel sorry for your other half.

    The RTE guys love covid.

    During lockdown I went for my 2km walk and walked across bridge on M50....only to encounter an RTE cameraman taking shots of cars driving along M50.

    We have to stop people travelling he told me. It's the only way.

    The only way I thought...what are you doing on his bridge pontificating about the only way.

    I don't trust them as much any more.

    I come for covid details but theres usually some left leaning agenda thrown in. Even the guardian is not as bad.

    Dr John Campbell on youtube is a good source.

    The inky way...as he scored his RTE coin and wanted to deny some lads trying to earn a living.


    The only way....what does RTE know about the only way?

    They have been very poor throughout this pandemic. Constantly towing the government line. Very little real journalism on display.

    What's real journalism? Would they be fake journalist then?

    How about reporting without a painfully obvious agenda?

    I used to be left leaning but it's become a religion so I'm out.

    Well, they have had their share of fake news, but it's more the standard of their work that I was referring to. Alot of their covid coverage has been poorly researched and very much agenda driven.

    They usually have the Rolls Royce of drones but they load them with slow speed memory cards completely unsuited for the drones so you can see the judder in the playback.

    You do realise, all news has an agenda, otherwise known as bias, even real news from the don himself?
