Saturday with Katie Hannon

The Minister put Whitmore in her box, Dee, and Nooze Hannon did nothing (as usual) to stop her giving out incorrect information, as outlined by Colm.

I had hoped to end this exchange on a lighter note but when some people react as if this was a major disaster kind of says something about the person.

Folk like that need to come down from the mountain and flush the bile and biliousness from their system and try to evaluate

discourse in a ,frankly more adult way.

So here we go now, FG is ‘ cult’…. If that’s not way over the top, well, most sensible folk would, I feel, have grave doubts.

Pragmatic evaluation seems to gone out the window, fair and balanced positions seem very scarce, and there seems to be a coterie out there whose only outlook is negativity and biliousness.

People need assess themselves and support those trying to do something, not stults just interested in breaking down everything.

Did he rip them new ones?

F sake!

It's after this bit that Comical B gets the hump, goes into a huff and stays in his box for the rest of the programme.

The truth can be painful 😁 the Box entered was the one Brophy was put in, it's not as if the program is not available to listen back to, I actually watched it live on RTE news now and it was all the more pleasurable to watch 😁

Gone until until January 8th 2022 I'd imagine.

Crazy stuff.

In what way , my friend.?

I missed this programme and decided to listen to the playback this morning.

Is there a more negative regressive person in all of RTE than Hannon

Everything she brings up is negative in the extreme and if anyone tries to accentuate the positive they are cut

down straight away.

However the icing on the cake was when Hannon berated Minister Thomas Byrne over the Dáil Xmas’ Holidays’ when her own state sponsored so called PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTER put the gaff on autopilot for around three weeks.

We have the greatest piece of hypocracy ever from these overpaid stones right there.

Luckily in we have in Thomas Byrne a person who is well able for her and the tag team she brings along.

Every time the Minister opened his mouth she allowed the others to shout him down.

Abominable biased ‘moderating’.

Yes fair comment there D….. and indeed you very astutely spotted the time Hannon mentioned the airborne nature of the Covid disease which drew a response from the Minister which was the nearest I heard him go close to losing the cool.

He did put Hannon in her box though mentioning cleaning and sanitizers in RTE.

I meant to refer to it in my first post but you reminded me of it.

The brass necked way these people swan back after Xmas as if everyone was partying over Xmas really annoys me

and needs to be highlighted on whatever platform you can.

You're doing Claire an injustice there. It was Thursday when she breezed in, not Wednesday! Seems to work the teachers holidays.

Never do,D, I will always acknowledge if I’ve been wrong and always acknowledge fair posts .

Might have been because she didn't get as much hols as Joe, Ryan, Claire, All main RTE news presenters, All Rte Correspondents and presumably, Dee Forbes 😁

Yes they should debate culture.not so much Irish culture but maybe overseas Culture.

Very vague but I'm presuming a male as the warning was pretty much don't be discussing negativity towards men . Quite extraordinary anyone sending such a veiled treat into a national broadcaster.

Actually it's not forgotten, and allow me to correct you, ALL news Correspondents, All News presenters and indeed most presenters are Staffers , HIGHLY paid primarily through tax payer funded resources and Licence Fee .

This new Antigen test regime is just bizzare, upload your test to HSE portal for no logical reason I can think of apart from giving HSE data, people still have to get a lab confirmed Antigen or pcr test at their expense if they want a covid recovery cert and that is more expense, requesting this of GP 🙄

I agree 😏

Wasn't he on the show just a couple of weeks ago? Is he the only Government minister vain enough to give up his Saturday?

I have not gotten a chance to listen to this, will do so at some stage and comment.

I agree and probably a large pair of Boxers 😏

General delight at restrictions ending , Kingston Mills, whilst happy a little surprise at the speed of the relaxing of restrictions (Have to say, I'm surprised too)

Chief moaner , Adrian Cummins on the phone, this is going to be painful, he's one clown, ill be happy never to hear from again 🙄, Wait for it , Supports and PUP should have ended yesterday 🙄

The issue is not actually transmission, the issue is getting infected and whilst most children are not severely affected , that can't be said for all . It's well known, vaccines don't stop transmission.

Any ripping of new ones, Brenner?

I think that was Paul Murphy on today - if so, second time in a couple of days I find myself agreeing with him. First on attacking the proposed inflated spend on our defence force and second calling out the government hypocrisy when they refuse to reduce their tax take on rising energy costs.

I never agree with Paul Murphy normally. If that's any sort of random marker for the middle ground, this government is losing the dressing room.
