"Foul", cries Ryanair. It's just not fair.
Ryanair, the World’s favourite and Britain’s largest airline, today (9th Oct) accused BBC Panorama of bias and censorship as it purports to ‘investigate’ Ryanair but REFUSES Ryanair’s offer of a live or unedited pre-recorded interview in order to fully reply to Panorama’s false claims.
"Ryanair calls on the BBC to explain why Panorama refuses to provide balance in its programming and why licence payers are funding such rubbish filled investigations which don’t stand up to scrutiny, which is why Panorama wouldn’t agree to an unedited interview with Ryanair.”
Ain't it a bitch being bullied by a more influential aggressor with an agenda?
Rather like a company that spends €500,000 on flying EU officials around in contravention of EU rules, to secure a 'yes' vote for personal gain, perhaps?
Interested in travelling to Dublin to work for the Lisbon Treaty? Ryanair have offered us some free seats for people who volunteer to canvass for the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland.
In the interests of 'providing balance', Ryanair were, of course, committed to employing valid arguments to debate with those who disagreed with the views of CEO, Michael O'Leary, weren't they.
During six hours of flights on Tuesday, the commissioner was served chicken Bellenaise and wild rice as Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's boss, taunted the "No" campaign.
Mr Tajani stood silently by during a press conferences in which Mr O'Leary mocked Lisbon Treaty opponents as "numpties", "numb nuts" and "clowns".
So where was this concern for 'providing balance' when Irish broadcasters refused the same to their voters prior to the Irish vote?
A GROUP campaigning for a No vote in the October 2nd referendum on the Lisbon Treaty has expressed concern over guidelines issued to broadcasters that remove any requirement for them to give equal airtime to the Yes and No sides in the debate.
You did speak up about that, didn't you, Michael?
Considering the fact that the Irish referendum was skewed by an avalanche of funding from the yes side which dwarfed that of the noes, it's not surprising that it was termed ... err ... bullying.
"This referendum is a decisive victory for the bully boys, big money and bureaucrats." [...] said Mr Farage.
And we are now supposed to feel sorry for poor auld Ryanair when the scurrilous Beeb turn their big guns on them?
Per-lease.
** Damn! A better headline would have been 'Ryanair whine louder than one of their jets leaving Stansted'.
