Call for investigation into RTÉ Investigates well received
On Monday evening, RTÉ crossed a line they never traversed before.
There have been lots of abortion themed prime time programmes on RTÉ in recent decades - the vast majority of which were biased - sometimes terribly so - but at least the pro-life viewpoint was represented, albeit in a tokenistic way.
But Monday evening’s RTÉ Investigates chose a different tack - they didn’t interview a single pro-life representative. They even went one better than that. Over the course of the entire programme which lasted one hour and five minutes, they didn’t reference a single pro-life point.
The only time the pro-life side was mentioned was when programme makers and their guests were disparaging pro-life individuals, who in turn weren’t afforded an on air opportunity to defend their reputations and good names.
