RTE ran with the headline 20% of judges haven't taken voluntary cut, similar with the Indo and today the Times states 1 in 5...
I get the impression (from an impartial view) that if you work in anyway shape or form within the Public and Civil Sector, anything less that working for free 24/7 is going to be given a negative spin by our media.
I thought RTE (and the IT) were widely considered to be cosy with the unions and the public sector?!
You are joking???
No, not at all.
I got the distinct impression that RTE were viewed as having a left wing bias and that they (and the IT in particular) are thought to be 'union and public sector friendly.'
I'm not saying it's true or not - just that this is the popular view - is this totally wrong?
Edit: Sorry, the above is a bit OT - I agree with Latrade too BTW.
No, not at all.

RTE reporter in Enniskillen the day of the strike reporting

Disgraceful reporting.

I agree. That was a really low point for RTE news.
You're about 5 years out of date. Rodney Rice was the last lefty report on RTE, and he retired last year. The IT is edited by an ex-PD TD, and their lead pol corr is the PD's historian. That should give you some idea of their ideology. Fintan O'Toole & Vinnie Brown are pretty much the only writers from a lefty viewpoint.I thought RTE (and the IT) were widely considered to be cosy with the unions and the public sector?!
