RTE radio and television...
..amidst all the state-led Irish-ry and sterling praise for children of a lesser kind are very good at leading social change and addressing social and political problems. They are not so good at dealing with corruption, particularly in their own organisation or at exposing clerical concupiscence with Fine Gael. On the real nature of economics and capital accumulation and it's circulation,facts which underlies modern society,the in-house journalists do not have a single critical idea or comment.

One objectionable aspect of RTE's broadcasts is the dovetailing of incompatible interests and parties-nothing can conceal that uncomfortable fact-and BBC Northern Ireland attempt to do the same with even less success and discernment. This occurs vis-a-vis rival groups, parties and organisations. (BBC Northern Ireland is run from London on behalf of the British Foreign Office. Its political commentators are agents of the British Government working in tandem with unionist politicians and the Home Office. No-one else apart from British Government politicians regulate the BBC).

Apart from an occasional left-of-centre political report- there are many reports on social issues-RTE political reporting is about fifty years out of date in content and thinking.
However,let us be grateful for small mercies. Consider the appalling Blueshirt tripe on Southern commercial news broadcasts and what passes for current affairs commentary in the liberal media.
Nobody has a monopoly of the truth. My fulminations against doctors and police and what I call imperialism and political medicine in the North and Southern reaction are only two sides of a manifold reality.
My views here are about an economic model of society which cannot be reported properly and fully because it is organised and legislated for by another country,in essence. Most Irish people regard that other country and its interests as antipathetic to our society and its people.

Whereas most of the BBC's broadcasts are based on iteration or constant repetition, RTE's broadcasts are based on explication or apologia pro vitae eius.
That is to say,one set of broadcasters get their news and information from rentboys and worn-out old 'queens' and the other gets its bright-spark ideas about national identity and Irish Unity from the back of their bookies slips or an old envelope at Fairyhouse Racecourse or Murrayfield Rugby Ground when the crowds are still hovering around after some feat of sporting derring-do between Ireland and England.
.....
The constant reporting of chauvinistic comments and news items about a police-ridden broadcasting system of public discourse is indicative of a society which is stuck in the 1920's.
Journalists privately defer to Garda thugs and Irish Army hooligans. The latter regulate their employment and news content.
Our country must have a social revolution to turn police rule and Irish Army diktat on its head. Our country has not emerged from the shadow thrown over it by colonialism and has never found an independent path.
If the Shoneen Republic cannot advance independently of itself it must be taken in tow by outside parties whose assistance it has invoked, countries with which it shares mutual interests and a common background.
Basta! Non sequire!

RTE and US imperialism
As regards the United States and its wars of rape and plunder,what is meant by the US President possibly renewing "strikes on Iran"?
Surely you mean armed hooliganism and murderous gangsterism in defiance of international law and mutual obligations to conduct diplomacy peacefully?
These are not "military strikes",Ms Mitchell. These are VIOLENT ATTACKS on men, women and children and property which pose no threat to the United States.
To a fighting man,these brutal and barbaric attacks by an armed aggressor,an aggressor will have to be faced down with the threat of nuclear annihilation and mass destruction. The US in association with England have attacked and despoiled countless countries and domains. Their rule of terror must be brought to an end.
RTE journalists,you are party as ever to crimes against humanity. You must be drunk or high on drugs like the people you encouraged to attack their neighbours.
