Well, as mod, I made two RT radio show threads due to the ongoing "politics" over it, but won't go much into that here, except that one way or another some folk are quite outraged that freedom of opinion is bring facilitated.

Has a boards.ie mod ever broke bad?

I have a big problem where RTE exploit people's emotions to get cheap plaudits, and Tubridy is the worst for this. The Toy Show is full of it. Suprising kids with their relations coming home unexpectedly / meeting a pop star / giving them a big prize etc then filming their reactions and broadcasting it. On youtube these are called "reaction" videos and are considered to a cheap and unoriginal way of getting clicks. But when Tubridy does it everybody goes "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, isn't that nice". It's also hugely irresponsible as you never know what sort of reaction the child could have with the shock. And if it's on live TV then it's gonna be on the internet forever.

They do the same with adults, like exploiting Barry McGuigan the other night. But the adults are old enough to decide for themselves if they wish to be fodder for an RTE show.

Brace yourself tomorrow morning when Ryan reads out all the listeners e-mails.


“I was in tears on Friday night during Barry’s interview...”

"The reaction to our show on Friday night was quite unprecedented. All I can do to illustrate what I mean here is to read you out a few comments we received over the weekend....

...With all the depressing news around I was feeling quite sorry for myself Ryan; that was until you brought on the segment where Barry McGuigan showed us what sorrow is. Thank you Ryan, you have put my life in perspective...."

Maybe that is what works for some people. For me when I watch a depressing story or somebodies sorrow it hardly makes me feel better about myself, but worse for them.

This topic has been 24/7 since Tuesday...

It doesn’t need to be on again tI night.

But of course it is. It’s the Late Late!

Oh, so its annoying you since Tuesday?

What about the children who grew up abused and institutionalised and never knew where they belonged. ? What about their families?

For some it's taken a lifetime to be heard. Let's put years of abuse and wrongdoing to one side, since it's been 24/7 since Tuesday and as its now 3 days later and its Friday, it's time to get over it, so people can have some thing more entertaining to amuse them for the weekend, as they tuck into their spice bags and beers.

This Friday night they are switching off a life support machine live in studio. Hopefully the patient will sign off before the end of the show.
