RTÉ representatives defended their coverage of climate change as they appeared at the Oireachtas Climate Committee

The chair of the Oireachtas Climate Committee has accused RTÉ of chasing ratings and polarising and dividing the audience in its climate change coverage.

Mr Leddin said he would"call out certain programmes", including"Liveline, Divetime and Prime Time", which he claimed"polarise and divide" in their coverage of climate change. Tara Peterman, RTÉ Executive Producer of climate change coverage, said that the organisation adheres to BAI guidelines and its own guidelines.Peter Woods, Head of RTÉ Radio 1, rejected the claim that RTÉ seeks to create divisions, and said he would"answer on specifics" if they were provided.Mr Leddin accepted that"we generally do not see false equivalence so much".

Ms Peterman said that those attending the session were involved in content, and that"the commercial side is very much apart from us".

greenparty_ie BrianLeddin telling Irish journalists not to debate Green policies. We're not allowed to question climate change according to Deputy Leddin. Nor are we allowed to question the solutions. Last I knew, we were still living in a so-called democracy, not Germany 1936

One way conversation as always

''Ms Whitmore had asked if anyone has considered 'banning fossil fuels ads on RTÉ'. 🤣🤣🤡🤡

RTE are great 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately & very, very sadly for me Rtes position and behaviour as chief propagandists for a doomsday cult, is indefensible .It's worse than Junk science or even FakeNews it is utterly shameful propaganda & completely WRONG for a public broadcaster .

TL/DR The serfs are not scared enough, we need them terrified, or we will cut your funding 😉

Does anyone still believe this propaganda station for the establishment the last 2 years should weaken people up

Climate change is a hoax, and Green Party demanding that their belief in that hoax is the only view that should be aired, is a disgrace. The whole lot of them will be booted out of office next election, that's guaranteed. Fraudsters.

Imagine being hated by the nation, then imagine knowing that but still carrying on with pure 100% FFG propeganda daily. That's RTE-jits in a nutshell. When the public come for you it will be glorious!

The Great Climate Change HOAX 1/2

Let them stop platforming climate action delayers.

Normal weather for this time of year you climate change nutters.

Former MEP calls out ClimateScam

In other words, if the public makes up their own mind and resists climate hysterics than RTE will be stripped of funding.

The earth is going warm up anyways we are still coming of a ice age we are in the nice stop between ice age and the dry age they can’t stop it only slow it down a bit

Lying scum media.

RTE do hardly anything else except push the climate cult agenda. ClimateScam

How can the public have confidence in RTÉ’s coverage of the issue when you have signed a partnership with a lobby group that includes a commitment to only report on the issue in a certain way?

😂 the serfs are not scared enough, we want them terrified

Abolish the TV licence.

The climate propaganda not extreme enough to brainwash us all. Must do better RTE.
