To be fair to the political system and process, people represent constituencies and every Member is sent here by such a constituency. Is there fairness in the media in that respect? I believe there is not fairness in the way views are expressed for specific issues. I could use coverage of the septic tank charge as an example as there was bias on one side. Reporters went to constituencies like my own and picked people on one side to interview but they did not go to the other side. What is the way of managing such a process as RTE should be more balanced with it. The process can be very questionable. That is one example but I have no doubt there are many more.
