"Also the BBC has beeb far more controlled and sanitised than RTE for a long time "
Unfortunately it’s now quite hard to get a proper perspective on what’s happening rather than the opinions of the opinionated |

Well that's debatable.
For example pre Internet it would have been alot harder to be able to read the full wording of the legislation Liniker was criticising.
You would have been far more reliant on a TV or paper picking up on it and publishing it, which would never be in its entirety.
The information is out there but some people are too lazy or too insecure to look beyond their own echo chambers. |

"I don’t see any RTE Chairperson giving money to the Taoiseach as happened with BBC chairperson and Boris Johnson. RTE might have a lot of faults but it’s not a fair comparison."
RTE has become a crony outfit, run by Covneys brother and other ffg hacks, reporting is far from impartial |

"BBC just announced no presenters at all tomorrow night just match highlights
Wonder will any manager or player say anything in the interviews "
They can’t their contract is with the F.A
They have contractual obligations a bit like the one Liniker signed |

"Hes insufferable, but dont see why hes been canned though.
Having said that, his tweet was ridiculous. Pure hyperbolic nonsense"
He’s not a politician so why bother i’d ask, a bit like Enoch and his antics
He (liniker)signed a contract in 2020 with the beeb and it was supposed to be written in his contract the details of which I couldn’t be bothered me hole googling |

"It seems that the BBC is now in the RTE zone, no longer a Public service but a government news agency just an opinion "
The BBC have been run by the tory paedophile for years. RTE hasn't a patch in them

Match of the Day will be shortened to about 20 minutes tonight because the BBC has no commentary.
Faced with the prospect of a nearly silent broadcast after commentators refused to work on the programme in solidarity with Gary Lineker, the BBC has opted to show a condensed version. The corporation is understood to be contractually obliged to show highlights from the Premier League. |

If it was anybody else or if it was even a profession worth writing home about then yes I would but its an ex footballer expressing a political view, storm in a tea cup really, would suit him better to stay in his make believe world of football |

The Director-General of the BBC has a nightmare job; a public broadcasting service whose income is incrementally eroded by an interfering government and commercial pressures; and many talented and powerful presenters with personal followings, which is akin to trying to herd cats.
Once very powerful and internationally influential the BBC is an organisation in crisis. |

If he posted his personal opinion on a private social media page that was available to his private life associates, friends, family then fill yer boots.
Let's not play the naive leftie luvvie suckup.
He's a media whore and puts out content and pushes his profile to support his currency as a tv pundit and to reach audiences that will make him attractive to marketing execs.
His 'personal' socials aren't like joe bloggs next door and all the posters here well know it.
He messed up. His friends have said he knows it, knew it soon after, but refuses to back down.
He's an insufferable ego driven muppet full of ideas of his own invincibility at the bbc. |

His " friends" according to the Daily mail....The paper that wanted to keep Jewish refugees out of Britain in the 30's .....
I think the man has the right to post what he wants especially since he actually took a refugee into his house
All the previous complains against BBC personalities were found in favour of the personality as they were contractors of the BBC and not the voice of The BBC
will The Apprentice be cancelled....no cause Sugar supports the Tories
If GL had said he agree with The Tory policies and Labour attacked him ....The Tories would claim free speech |

Why can people not accept that the debate isn't about refugees and asylum seeking migrants.
It's about economic migrants being facilitated, bled for thousands, drowning, and the people traffickers who profiteer off this mentality of wide open borders.
Should good folk do nothing and thereby support the gang masters in their business plan crossing the channel? |

Then why is there no legal route for a refugee to claim asylum in Britain ( apart from 3 counties I think ) |

The BBC is still internationally influential.... but it is also in crisis. |

I'm not sure that IS what the debate is about. Seems to me it's more about a power struggle between social media and traditional media. |

In Lord Reith's era at the BBC it was monolithic, but is now a shadow of its former self.
Lineker went off-message, and knows he can, because of his personal power in a fading organisation.
Within a year his contract fee will have doubled in another media business.
In truth, I have never actually heard Lineker say more that five words; I understand that he is a former soccer player, and a pundit who is the best paid person at the BBC.
His independent opinions are inconsequential, but by equating current UK policy to the treatment of fleeing Jews, from Hitler in the 1930s, he has now touched a raw nerve and exposed a truth; refugees are always treated badly because they are powerless
Lineker is populistically powerful, but the real power lies with MPs and the establishment.
Refugees crossing the channel is costing too much and the authorities cannot yet stop them .
Foreign refugees are still personae non gratae: they are not wanted. |

Not completely sure what you mean by this... but neither traditional media nor social media can be considered truth, and both can at times also be propaganda. The savvy person reads between the lines and uses different sources to try and get close to reality. Either way I'd say that whether you're left or right.. the ability to speak freely and peacefully in your own time using your own resources shouldn't cause you to lose your job. |

It is my belief that there are no longer agencies reporting the news as it happens, what we have are media outlets and in this case, media is driven by algorithms which follow our digital footprint
No I’m not a conspiracy theorist just a realist, consider Cambridge Analytica and any lessons learned or how “news” is manipulated to get certain results, eg Troll Farms. Just have 2 people in the Sam household go on Facebook at the same time, different feeds and different news.
Newspapers change to reflect the views of their owners rather than report, example Ukraine War. In 2020 Ukraine was reported to be the most corrupt country in Europe, now it’s a defender of western values
Yes we have the freedom to think but they, msm, also have the freedom to manipulate |

Cant argue with most of that. Most "News" agencies are commercial entities and have to make a profit to stay alive and satisfy shareholder thirst. State broadcasters have to satisfy their paymasters - the government. |

No hes not. He was being completely hyperbolic, as with most celebrities, in order to draw as much attention to himself as possible.

Amazing the amount of people that have written for various newspapers that have agreed with both sides of the argument with examples
But then some of them come out with the line....but I'm married/ friends/ lovers with a jewish person so I can't be wrong |

"RTE support Government narratives for some time. No longer a trustworthy Broadcaster. "
----------
100% agree Years ago there would be an open debate on nearly all relevant topics. Not anymore. Instead, there's a few vested interests pushing a certain narrative and too many presenters with keys in their backs ready to repeat what's on the sheet in front of them 
Broadcasters now seem to think they own the minds and opinions of their Presenters 24/7 and lord forbid a Presenter should have a view of their own. Something had to give and Gary Lineker just revealed that something. Interesting times ahead |

That's just another opinion. I could say yes it is.
In the time you waited here for an answer you could have googled the whole thing and seen for yourself.
Much better to hold out for the answer you wanted though |

Tbf i could google it ... however it would probably have taken me hours to research weather it was similar or not ... the people discussing it seemed informed so I said I'd ask ... you know we don't all think we know everything... I get that may be difficult for you to comprehend? |

Well the BBC have apologised, are reviewing their whole policy relating to presenters social media and Liniker will be back on air next weekend.
So he may have been right about his invincibility
Hopefully other presenters will be able to develop their own personal opinions following this |
