Here sadly in a nutshell is rte media bias personified... Coveny when asked about the indiscriminate bombing of gaza answers "its concerning" when Richard boyd barrett is asked about hamas attack and says "i regret the taking of life" he is charged with "sounding like he condones murder" no wonder rte is a basket case...
Is this a joke?
