TV3 know what "the people" really want...

Quote:
His broadcast will be transmitted tomorrow at 9.30pm, after the 9pm News on RTÉ and before the drugs and crime series, Love/Hate, but will also be made available to other media outlets, a Government spokesman said.

However, TV3 said it was unwilling to interrupt its X Factor- related programming for Mr Kenny’s address. A spokeswoman said it had made numerous attempts to elicit information from the Government Information Service (GIS) in recent weeks, but was only informed at 6.50pm yesterday that the Taoiseach planned to make a speech to be broadcast on television and was not told of the content.

“TV3 made its schedule known to GIS several days ago and that it included several live simulcast blockbuster programmes which could not be interrupted, unless in the case of dire emergency.”

The spokeswoman said TV3 would cover the Taoiseach’s speech on Monday morning during the breakfast news show.

The Taoiseach’s spokesman said Mr Kenny was anxious to fulfil a commitment to communicate directly with the people in advance of next week’s budget.

I like how the Indo balances this article where they accuse Kenny of kicking off a 'festival of fear' with another by Carol Hunt where she tells us that "It adds insult to injury when our government of Marie Antoinettes try to tell us this Budget won't be so bad". So what exactly do they want? It's odd, I can't remember them being nearly so critical of FF as they drove us into the abyss.

And is it my imagination or is FF attack muppet Jody Corcoran writing the lead story every week these days?

Oh, I'm so excited. What'll it be, do you think? Christmas cancelled? No birthday parties for four years? Curry sauce and chips to be considered two separate meals and slapped with a luxury tax if combined?

How constitutional this use of constitutional powers here seems to constantly go amiss and left to anyones guess. Mine. It is not constitutional.


Unless the content declares something amazing... :|
