Did anyone hear the slagging poor Charlie got today?
He has a show about his year in the US as RTEs correspondent, and it was basically decided that this is something that we shouldn't care about. He should be focusing on issues in the country, and not issues directly affecting him, as its his job after all, he's getting well paid and he shouldn't be telling us all about it.
Well I don't mind him too much, but the consensus was that he is now basically considered a 'celeb' and cos he's getting a big wage from RTE, he has to make a programme to appeal to those that care about what others are doing in life.
I can see where some of the criticism is coming from, but thats the way the media has gone. I mean I have always wondered why Michael McMullan and the like feel the need to tell us who they are before reading the news. They didn't do this in the 70/80s (and maybe 90s). I don't care who he is, just read the sports news !! You're not famous, despite the fact you obviously want to be.
