There was a heated debate on the Lisbon Treaty referendum on RTE radio (5th report) yesterday.
Representing the No side was Nigel Farage of the United Kingdom Independence Party.
Representing the Yes side was Blair Horan of the Civil and Public Services Union and RTE news presenter Sean O’Rourke.
Unfair yes but at least listeners now know that RTE has abandoned all pretence of balance.
RTE try to portray o’rourke as some kind of independent expert. Its really hillarious how biased he is. Hes not even able to pretdnd! The strategy in the media this time is to bring out the oddballs and weirdos that are voting no. Theyre obviously off the wall. Meanwhile the weasel barroso is in limerick handing out bribes and its ok…democracy at work.
I meant of course Whelan and not o’rourke although theyre practically the same anyway!
