"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'.

Ryanair are some of the worst shysters ever seen and people who give capitalism a bad name.
I can think of 150-odd people who won't be caring much for O'Leary's tosh. I was in Brno in the Czech Republic a while back and after a fault with the initial plane we were all due to depart on, Ryan-hot-air promised a replacement - before cancelling it several hours later and confining us to extra hotel bills overnight (as well as the fact their flights the next day were fully booked, so we had to pay extra with good old Easyjet).
So I couldn't agree more. Boo fucking hoo Ryanair indeed, and particularly that shyster.
Ho-hum. Ryanair are just in it for the money. All publicity is good publicity as far as they are concerned.
What's not clear is what the BBC are going to say about them. I'd be highly surprised if it were something along the lines of "RyanAir backed Yes campaign for corporate profit reasons".
MW: Indeed. That is most certainly not what the Beeb will be exposing.
I just find it funny that Ryanair are content to throw their weight around to drown out the voice of the 'no' campaign in Ireland, yet squeal when they're not given a chance to show balance in another matter.

mitherers.
The Lisbon "yes-no"rattling is
dead,cremated and the ashes cast on the Tiber, Seine and Rhine.
Who heard the twitterimg of the
copper wire army,1%, maybe 2%.
Did you expect the blithering masses to storm Brussels when
x-FACTOR is at a critical stage.
As for Ryanair,Remember, in a free
society even the strong and wealthy are allowed their opinion,
it is for the weak and poor to find
other ways of being heard.
If the ordinary wish to just
finger keyboards,play on their X-Boxes and dwell on Casualty intrigues, then face up to realiy.
Anyway ,Ryanair has helped me and
my travelling companions to stuff
the British Exchequer for £100's of
thousands in recent years and they allow you to "smoke" on their planes.

Funny maybe.
But then i wouldnt hold an plane company up the the same standards of a goverment funded media orginisation.
