Green drama cut short by RTÉ
Why did RTÉ’s Nine News cut away from the drama of the Mansion House, where John Gormley was about to speak, just so we could hear some re-heated analysis from Charlie Bird and David McCullough? Was there a post-result media blackout too or did it just feel it was what the nation needed at that moment of real history?
Could it have stuck around with coverage for a bit longer, or did it decide that what the viewers actually wanted was for The Village to start on time.
You must understand that politics is about Charlie and David and that the politicians are merely the supporting act.And shure won’t you get plenty of John Gormley for the next five years? Er, and Charlie. And David.
