Newstalk - have your say!
Re: Newstalk - have your say!
One thing I've noticed more and more lately is that the whole Breakfast format of approx 5 minutes per segment is generally pointless.
No topic is discussed properly and the time limit is frequently used if the guest is going against the expected narrative - it doesn't help that Ciara and Shane use the platform to push their own particular views constantly.

Andrea Gilligan interviewing a 'swinger' who's into swinging and polyamory but as no partner at all - only in Ireland....Lol.

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
This morning Ciara and Shane returned to the gift that keeps on giving - the mangling of the English language - and they should know as they are both major contributors. Ciara also gave us the benefit of her extensive knowledge of Irish agriculture with a comparison of our national cattle herd with wildebeest grazing majestically on the African plains....comedy gold. I'm starting to enjoy 'Newstalk Breakfast' more these days as I've come to understand that it's a parody news show.

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
I tuned in this morning to the same and very quickly changed back to spotify. It's absolute tripe full of manufactured controversy and stupid squabbles. The fact they're allowed to use the word 'News' is an insult to journalism

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
You know you've gone mad when you wake up to hear that Ciara Kelly has won Speech Broadcaster of the Year for the second year in a row, Shane Coleman as been campaigning for Metro North since 1999 and the Government are announcing yet another National Development Plan....

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
I don't know, it's quite achievable, especially if only herself and Andrea Gilligan were entered.
What always amazes me is that when these people go on holiday, their stand-in presenters almost invariably seem more tolerable. Or is this just relief at being spared the ordeal of listening to the usual crap?

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
Adrian Kennedy still in for Andrea - discussion about chicken curry pizza - what an amazing idea, or at least Adrian seems to think so.
Everybody loves a spicebag at the end of a night out - really? I've never had one or even know what it is and don't want to.
And never a radio station to pick over the same topic again, and again and again - the next item for discussion is State funding of Private schools....

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
Nor I !
If I had to guess I'd say its somehow related to 'sleazebag' and 'scumbag'. Also, might involve persons from the far east. Does the word 'currybag' exist ?

More on bullying on 12.45 today - A former bully speaks.
A unique #Woke perspective by newstalk, not sure how this contributes to the sum of knowledge though.

Rubbish WOKE station. Can’t stand that Ciara Kelly one they have on in the morning. Whinning loudmouth feminist. Not what anyone wants to listen to in the morning.

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
A well known musician and two poets die from old age and Ciara says "all our heroes are dying". Coleman, the culture vulture, "what a loss they are going to be".
Joe Duffy is going to have some programme today.
The Cocaine/GAA piece should be priceless with Coleman - zero, much ado about nothing - nothing to see here.

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
Heard the cocaine piece. "Would the club not say to players, they're representing the club etc". Jesus Ciara and Shane, the last thing they are thinking of when they're huddled in the cubicle swapping bumps is county colours. Why do they think everyone is a child.

Ireland's Call with Simon Tierney
I've never heard this programme before but unfortunately fell over the tail end of it today. More whining from immigrants and sexually confused people who don't like their experience of Ireland. The host apologising on behalf of the Irish people (all of us males presumably)...................Don't like Ireland, head for the airport and find somewhere better - nobody's stopping you. Whatever happened to keeping one's head down and trying to fit in rather than trumpeting your own agenda from the rooftops when you're hardly in the country a wet weekend.

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
The problem with the media in Ireland, and I include social media in this, is that it's drowning in PC liberals who think this country needs to make amends for every wrongdoing perpetrated by mankind on itself. For the most part, these are people who have no everyday concerns in life and far too much time on their hands.Del.Monte wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 2:16 pm Ireland's Call with Simon Tierney

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
Ciara has done a bunk this morning despite Shane's attempt to contact her. Is she broadcasting from her cupboard again?
And now she has appeared but no explanation..

Now gasping Gavin on - someone needs to advise him on his breathing or get him to slow down. He seems an intelligent guy but his gasping every few words is very off putting.

Should men pay for the first date - breaking news and will get more coverage than the climate conference.

Piece on crack cocaine overwhelming Tallaght squeezed in at the end of the show and Ciara can't get rid of the topic quickly enough and returns to daft purchases of the pandemic. Imagine if it was Greystones at the heart of the crack cocaine crisis.

Re: Newstalk - have your say!
Sport obsessed Newstalk can't even get the names of rugby teams correct. In a piece on women's rugby this morning the reporter (JD) referred to the Irish women's team beating the 'All Blacks' - now that's a game I would like to have seen!
For future reference - JD - it's the 'Black Ferns' - please try and keep up.
