The Weekend On One With Brendan O'Connor

MDH has lived high on the hog his entire career, he hasn’t done a day’s work in the private sector.

A pompous self entitled arrogant old fool.

He should resign with immediate effect.

Depends on what information they are consuming to help them make their minds up. If they conclude on the strength of their research that the election was stolen from Trump, they are on a bad path. Or that they should avoid getting vaccines, and all the other rabbit holes that they could go down. I am with Little in wanting these sorts of outlets being equally subject to the regulation the other media have to comply with.

At least MDH is elected by a majority - twice. You have to wonder why A'O'C gets the platform nobody else seems to.

I respect a lot of things and Alison would not be one of them nor her views.

Irish Times People.

I thought that was an interesting slot, but O'Connor could have dug a bit deeper into some of the points he outlined. Like he said something about the future of social media being smaller, more local and where the cost of disagreement (might not have been the exact term he used) being higher. I certainly didn't like the sound of that, but there wasn't time to really explain what he meant.

I used to be more sceptical but I think we need to support mainstream media in factual reporting. Sure they have their biases and not everyone is going to believe them anyway, but it's better than where we are going currently with the level of disinformation, on Twitter particularly. It's kind of scary now the number of people whose "news feed" on social media is the full extent of news they consume.

This writer sounds like he is reviewing himself.

Did no ballsy pretend that was an actual interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger???

Clearly recorded nonsense (insert Question here) before Arnies recorded answers

ALL the music is pre-recorded surely ??? (by the artists)

But why can't Media outlets explain that they have a couple of canned responses from "stars" and they have manufactured a few questions..to fit into the sequence.

If RTE actually had Arnie on the line, they would have given it to TLLS.

Guest: "Remember that Pink Floyd album cover with the prism and the white light splitting into a rainbow"?

Boc: "Yeah, that was Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield"

🤔

I don't see the issue with the Arnie interview. If it was pre-recorded, so what? Now, if they were splicing questions and answers from different sources, and there was no interview, that would certainly be a problem. I find it hard to believe that ever happened. If it did at one time, you certainly wouldn't get away with it now.

Ahh. She doth spout much plain speaking

Yep, he was talking to a body clock expert about the clock changing. I was going to start a thread on the subject, so I listened back to it. She was making a point about the different wavelengths of light and the effect on the body. I don't know what was going through his mind ... He wasn't sure though .....

The gasps of shock from O'Connor that that which cannot be spoken about on his show and RTE in general (I wonder why exactly) has been uttered.

'We have to stop accepting any more' [sic]
