Tilting the playing field very slightly: Varadkar and the ‘liberal’ and ‘left-wing’ agenda at RTÉ
By now most will have read the comments Leo Vardkar made about RTÉ, and I'll get to them in a moment. But let's start with his less than opportune timing as regards this remark:
He also said RTÉ was “encouraging people to break the law” by giving access to campaigners urging people not to pay the household tax. He claimed RTÉ would not give access to groups advocating that people refuse to pay the television licence fee.
Perhaps we are over-optimistic, - and the little voice should always say "optimism of the will, pessimism of the spirit" - we think that was Antonio Gramsci's advice to activists - but it looks like the Kenny- Gilmore government is on the slide downwards towards a Cowen-Gormley meltdown - let's hope!
