Stitch Up
Clare Byrne started back in Newstalk Radio this morning after an absence of 15 years. She moved from RTE Radio 1 and started off at the top by interviewing the Taoiseach, Michael Martin, and what an easy ride that was !
She said to him, people say that there was more houses built in Ireland when the country had less money. She made it sound like it was only gossip on the street, and who would listen to that anyway? It is a FACT, and because it is a FACT, it is a disgrace on the government of which he is the leader.
She let him of the hook
She also said, after he promised to do better on housing, at the tail end of the interview.
Sure we will have you in here again next year to see how you got on. She endorsed him for another year as Taoiseach on an income of €251,261
He got off with a very good School Report from the teacher.
There is, of course, something a lot more sinister going on here; all radio stations are being controlled by the government by handing out financial support for programme making etc. "he who pays the piper calls the tune"
It is a stitch-up by the government to control the information that we, the public, get to see and hear.
We are being controlled by the media; they need to do this because the Church has lost its power and is no longer able to do that job.
Lets make a new year resolution, NOT to let these people in the Media take control of our thinking.
We were controlled before and we got out of that one finally, but lets NOT let them do it again, this time through the media.
