Dublin | Rights, Freedoms and Repression | By Sharon . Individual . <h4>Event Time: Saturday, Dec 1 2007</h4>
<P>It appears that - whatever the issue - you can depend on RTE to leave you guessing...</P><P>Hi !<br />
<br />
An anti-censorship picket will be held on the RTE Studios in Donnybrook, Dublin , on Saturday December 1st , 2007 , from 12 Noon to 1.30pm . <br />
As a publicly-funded institution , RTE leaves a lot to be desired <strong>: </strong> the coverage it provides could be said to be based on the political 'prevailing winds' of the day . It has consistently and spectacularly failed to either report on what it apparently views as 'delicate' issues or will cover same in a light which is favourable to its own administration and the administration-of-the-day in Leinster House .<br />
Regardless of the importance of the issue - whether it concerns the political situation in the north-east of this isle <strong>*</strong> , the 'Shell To Sea' issue<strong>**</strong> or the State Health Service <em> (or lack of same)</em> <strong>***</strong> , RTE , it seems , will do its utmost to spare the blushes of its political colleagues and part-paymasters in Kildare Street .<br />
With this in mind , an anti-censorship picket will be placed on the RTE Studios in Donnybrook , Dublin , on Saturday 1st December 2007 , between the hours of 12 Noon and 1.30pm . If you can't make it on the day , check-back here on this thread on the following day where I will publish a piece on how the picket went . Just don't expect it to be covered on RTE.....<br />
<br />
Thanks ,<br />
<br />
Sharon.<br />
