Ben, please stop asking them hard questions because it makes their brains hurt. Instead ask them nice easy questions like the rest of the good journalists. What did you do for pride? What is your ideal Sunday? Or Who is your favourite telly tubby? The truth is most of them are there because their grandfather's were hiding behind the wall in the biscuit factory.
And the answer is to send for the man from the British Broadcasting Corporation to fix it ?.... Samuel Coleridge wrote about a " man on business from Porlock"....and this is such a moment ..it's beginning to look like the eviction in Roscommon .. except it's not the MacGann' but the O'Leary's and possibly all Irish broadcaster' this time...

It's so old school. Should be axed all these top earners on 200k + and we paying 160euro a year who don't want the shit they put on. Most of there viewers are 60+ I am not paying wankers sick of it so much high earners from bankers to builders the world over gready men they should be ashamed. Paddy
Haven't given em a cent in over 15 years.... Have a stack of threatening letters from An Post threatening fines and prison..... I'm sick telling people to stop giving them money.... Most don't listen and it's funny that they're angry at RTE now because it's RTE telling em to be angry at them. Brainwashed beyond belief....
They never went away.GARDA,RTE,IRISH CENTRAL BANK,CIVIL SERVICE,HEALTH ETC ETC. Should it make a difference ?...No.But does it make a difference ? of course it does,at the very least it is part of a trans national ideology to dilute National interests.Even Mehole has admitted that he is fully on board with this paradigm. They think we are stupid .........perhaps there is somethng in that !!!!
As for current affairs, news, and investigative journalism, there's not an ounce of critical thinking, and zero effort from RTE to present any kind of balanced or robust debate.
It doesn't matter what these criminals say, doesn't matter what they do.. The game has changed forever & RTE are toast. End of story.!! The propaganda machine is done, along with the gravy train. 🇮🇪💪
No it's not. It's just the one under the the spotlight for now. All this will die down they'll start doing the same stuff again, the investigations will eventually say they were wrong but not illegal and that will be it. Then on to the next one big "scandal" for a few months.
I never ever watch RTE. I hated it when I was young and I detest it even more now that I'm older. It's a very very boring platform and full of propaganda
What an absolutely brilliant line of questioning, I'm still demanding a full refund for years paying for TV licence, it's not good enough to say we do this and we do that, bottom line is they defrauded millions 🇮🇪✝️🇮🇪
Non-compliance with their bull is the way forward. People think the protests stopped the water charges. They didn't. It was the thousands upon thousands of unpaid bills by ordinary Irish people that stopped them. Stop complying with their nonsense.
whats really shocking is you believe that he believes in what he is saying, when in fact its his job to convince you that he believes in what he is saying, when in fact he doesnt.
@martingriffin1969 I don't believe in any bias media 😅 you kidding me , I'd say you don't even know what telegram is and that says alot now, how long you been awake or you still sleeping 🤔
the licence fee needs to be removed. once there is guaranteed funding in the form of a licence fee that is enforceable by law, it will always lead to this type of behavior because of the lack of accountability and the means to provide that accountability to the public. it essentially incentives this type of fraud and corruption
Don't be silly, RTE could never survive in the private sector without government subsidies and the Government couldn't survive without RTE telling the people what to think.
RTE is long past it's sell by date, it hasn't been relevant for many years and is beyond saving, do the right thing and put it out of it's(our) misery.
I suppose we're not "allowed" to ask why we have an ex disgraced BBC guy being promoted to sort out something he was a part of? Do we not have qualified people here to do these job? What's next, an English president and Taoiseacht 🙄🙏🇨🇮
Did you see the photographers smiling behind Backhurst? They have been quietly observing these creeps for years and now finally a journalist with actual cojones is asking actual questions that people want to have answered. They're flipping ecstatic.
Just throw out your TV and any TV tuner you may have. This is the legitimate way to not have to pay the ridiculous licence fee. RTE are the most biased, most overpaid and the most corrupt TV programme producer, in Ireland.
For as long as they know that there'll be a constant stream of funding from the licence fee then there'll be no initiative nor inclination to change the system. Screw them! A mass boycott of TV Licence payments needs to be made. What this organisation needs is a much deserved complete wipe-out.
If you can tell them to stuff the water charges, you can also tell them to stuff the licence fee,,but as usual we have our law abiding citizens/sheep,,,
I say one thing for him that he is a lot more respectfull in answering questions then our politicians and appears to be genuine in looking to make changes. Time will tell though.
He gives good CEO, Kevin Bakhurst, which is part of the problem. We need someone with integrity who's stumbling over their words, costs 25k a year in a part time role talking about RTE. 200M a year? You could set up 20 effective TV studios across the island, fund local reporters, drama with a part time mgt layer that's flattened not fattened. They all use Reuters, Associated Press and other Rotschild blogs for 'The News' anyway. I have friends who are funnier than Tiernan and the rest of the parasites and my mates will do it for 15k a year.
"I'll be happy to be judged by the audiences of Ireland" Well, you've certainly been judged. Now get rid of that scandalous fee and stop forcing people to pay for crap they don't watch.
I personally don't want an apology or a refund. Just like themselves they are soiled goods and their refund is dirty money. Thanks Ben and GriptMedia. 🙏🇮🇪🙏
Never mind Virgin Media, people making quality videos, including long form journalism and documentaries, on RUclips is miles away better than any crap on the television.
We need dentists whom accept medical cards ...not the BBC .!.is this lad lost or what ..?.. We cannot find a citizen in our country to run the guards or the telly ...and as for the Dail ? Need I say anymore ?
Make RTE a subscription service....problem solved 👌 If you choose to watch RTE you go and pay for the service....you subscribe....voluntarily. And if you don't want to watch RTE you can choose not to subscribe.... Simple as that. This would also eliminate the need for a TV licence..... Now....if a budding political candidate were to run on that ticket they'd be a shoe in....
The greater plan is to replace the TV lisence with the media tax so they can tax it at source. The smart thing is not to answer the door to the TV licence inspector.
RTE needs to be completely separate and independent of the government, it should be a subscription channel. You want to watch it on your tv, then you subscribe and pay a monthly fee or whatever. People should not have to pay for something they don't watch and don't like just because they have a TV in the house. It's called the free market.
Not a chance. Do you mean why the only people that died were close to dead or in nursing homes? Vaccine side effects? Soaring quantities easing to offset the economy collapsing? Restrictions on freedom of speech? The housing crisis? TUSLA and the near 300 kids missing this year? New currency for the BRICS in Jo'burg next month. Financial collapse on 26th July? Nobody wants to know about that! Everyone is more interested in GAA, love Island and the soaps!

Don’t pay the tv licence fee.
Nothing ever changes in Ireland same snouts in the same troughs.
Well said, you really made me laugh with this one. So true.
Sadly, you're 100% correct.
He cites RTEs news and current affairs as a plus when they are horribly one sided,biased and corrupt.

Where is this 'investigative journalism' he thinks he sees?
When was the last time RTE had any credibility??
Just before Gay Byrne joined!!! Tish boom
😂😂😂
Shows you just how out of touch these RTE bigwigs are with the general public when you hear this sort of rhetoric

Keep the pressure up
They need to be doing more than apologise a lot more
Another "home counties" gentleman to lead us....
People should not pay it anyway..
Its all a scam paying for watching a TV.
He believes in R.T. E. Because they pay him a shit load of cash so he urges you all to keep paying your license fee. Or off to jail for YOU.
Great question, too bad they have no shame, ever
Their arrogance knows no bounds. "I did nothing wrong" , these people will never learn about right and wrong.
His statement was perhaps one word too long
Even when they are wrong they think they are so right, Just another toxic organization.
Hit them were it hurts, their pockets.... Just Boycott RTE.
Head off Dail, head of garda, head of rte... Notice a pattern..
Hmmmm stop noticing
Well done for noticing the pattern, non Irish people in these positions and the Gardai are said to have advertised for Ukranians to join their team.
We do not need or want RTE
Great question 😂
During the famine we were forced to pay for a proddy church. Now, you pay for RTE even if you hate RTE
Brilliant by Gript ..yet again..please keep up the brilliant journalism...
