Imagine waking up each day and searching out for your feelings to be hurt or what’s worthy of complaint. Sounds like an absolute hoot.
@Shane McGivern: The eternally offended.
Put the kettle on. Has now offended someone. This cxxp has to stop.
@Peter Bell: Jingle should be changed to “put the kettle there Luv”.
That should raise the woke level.
Will somebody please think of the children.
@Ronan J Walsh: I’m offended you suggested this as I may not have children for you to think of but also I do actually have children and you assumed I should be thinking about them. Long and the short of it is I am an offendial and you have offended me.
@Derek Power: I’m so sorry to hear that, may I recommend spending the rest of the year in a designated safe space :-)
Some people have little to be doing. If their names got released as a clause of a complaint I’d guess it is the same old sad bitter people complaining each time. Then again they’d be less likely to contact The BAI if their sad identity had to be published. Absolute gobsh!tes
@Gavin Mckenna: Agree. Names and addresses of complainers should be available. Bet you it’s one aul cranky hoor all the time
There are some absolute sad cases out there.
There’s a genocide of millions of Uighurs happening on the other side of the world but apparently an ad about putting on the kettle is what is really rummaging peoples jimmies.
@Paul Cunningham: you meant them? Oh god! Please genocide me!
Millions? That is about 15% Uighur population and every family has someone been “genocide” but why they seems not depressed and oppressed? Strange

Lol
@Ní neart go cur le chéile.: Go away
@▪️: why?
Because I don’t follow the “agenda”?
Because I have first hand info and experience about its system and most western only can get info about it from WMSM and other anti China organizations like NGO?
Millions? Genocide?
Surely neutrality does not apply to politics outside the State — though concerningly, the BAI didn’t actually say this, just that the complaint wasn’t valid.
If some wing of the Tories split out into a part that was in favour of annexing Ireland, is neutrality and equal representation expected for them?
I get the feeling that the Journal won’t be covering Biden’s town hall last night, where among other things he said that minorities don’t know how to get online.
@Edmund Spencer: He said “some people in the community, Hispanic and black communities in particular.” He also mentioned rural and intercity places. He didn’t just say “minorities don’t know how to get online” He was also on the topic of how there are racial disparities in getting the vaccine, this is an issue he is trying to fix, he’s not just singling out minorities. Nuance and context are important.
@Edmund Spencer: Also if he said elderly people have a problem in particular with getting online would you have a problem? Would that be ageist or would he be referencing fact?
@Edmund Spencer: @Edmund Spencer: I’m beginning to suspect you may well have written at least one of this complaints about coverage of Trump.
@Diarmuid Hunt: He said a lot of people in Hispanic and African American communities don’t know how to get online. He specifically said “a lot” and not “some”. I’m not in any way offended by what he said by the way, I just find it hilarious the way the media cover him as opposed to Trump. If Trump had said exactly what Biden said, the media would be in a frenzy. But when Biden says it they ignore it and instead run stories about how he played his Granddaughter in Mario Kart. Top stuff.
@Patrick O’Farrell: I’m offended that you think I’d watch RTE tbh…
@Edmund Spencer: You are missing where he said community first, meaning all communities, then referenced Hispanic and Black communities because that was the topic of conversation. There’s no point in arguing with you I suppose, you know it all and only your point of view is correct, anybody who doesn’t agree is a shill or stupid, I get it, it’s a comforting worldview to have.
Any word in RTEs New Years obscenities ….
Oh my effin god… said complainants need to GET A LIFE.
Defund the false mainstream media!!
“If people are determined to be offended – if they will climb up on the ladder, balancing it precariously on their own toilet cistern to be upset by what they see through the neighbour’s bathroom window – there is nothing you can do about that.” — Christopher Hitchens
I wouldn’t be surprised if all 4 complaints were made by the same person.
@Sean Murnin: The three Trump ones definitely were!!

could rte ever get rid of that rte player music they play during breaks. who wants to hear d forbes moaning gently as she surveys the licence fees piling up (at least thats why i think she is moaning)
Poor Gemma
Why would you be @rsed, like?
The muppets making these complaints are complete fruitcakes
Never mind all this irrelevant chit chat and down to the real pressing issue…Did Humpty Dumpty fall,or was he in fact pushed…??..This burning question continues….!!!!
Some people have too much time on their hands.
Have the BAI ever upheld a complaint?
Had the complainant about the then President-Elect nothing better for doing. Sounds like a crank…
‘I find that offensive. ‘ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that. ‘ Well, so fu€king what.” – Stephen Fry, living legend.
Jesus wept, what boring lives those complainers must have!
God some people have too much time on the hands !!!
have your say
