Worth a listen but cannot seem to shake inherent bias
Problematic podcast with the main presenters exhibiting significant bias. Any journalist that chooses to not use factual information and instead introduce opinion as fact is never going to be able to report objectively on Northern Ireland matters. Inherent to the reporting Allison Morris offers up is a tolerance for the actions of the Provisonal IRA. Some might say admiration but I’ll not go that far. When a reporter uses the terms like “occupying Crown forces” or “the north” it sets a tone, it reveals a bias and reduces credibility of the subsequent information shared……I’ve switched off early because of it. Please just use facts. Objectivity is a critical prerequisite for reporters. While every effort is made to ensure the mask does not slip and to appear objective, sadly the Bel Tel’s crime reporter is not there. Like many in Northern Ireland, claiming objectivity is a lot easier than actually demonstrating the behavior.

More reviews of The BelTel
Excellent discussion , which counter intuitively for me, was nuanced reflective and revealing from a man whom I thot might not be capable of, given his background…never make assumptions no matter what you think you know… Well done Sam, more of this …
