Was listening to Joe Duffy today and he had a guy on saying that RTE are over-doing it just a little on the coverage of the pre-election stuff in the US. Joe couldn't see the point the guy was making (what's new ?) and just didn't understand the problem.
Am I the only person (well plus they guy who phoned Joe) who is getting tired of the amount of coverage on the radio of the whole thing ? I know that the choice of the next US president is important, but there are a whole 8 or 10 months to go before the election. Are we going to have coverage at this rate for that long ?
And before someone chimes in and tells me that I can change channel and don't have to listen to it - I already do that. It doesn't stop me from thinking that our national broadcaster is spending a lot of money and a lot of air time on what isn't even the election contest yet in a different country.
