I'm sure Ireland's media is not unique in this, but when RTÉ or Virgin Media producers contact people to ask them to contribute to a programme in a subject they have no expertise in, how hard is it to say, "No, perhaps you should contact somebody more qualified in the matter?"

I'm certain you're all vaguely aware of the vain, self-promoting famewhores I speak of that just can't help themselves? Am I wrong? Discuss..... @williamhboney1 @Trickstersworld @EmmetKirwan @DawnHFoster @Rubberbandits @TortoiseShack @EchoChambersPod @united_podcast @IrishUnityPod

Apologies if anyone has read this as me having a go at any of the fine folk I tagged in this thread!

I'm referring to the "data bro's" and the likes that @EmmetKirwan has referenced in his reply to me!

Christ, don't want to get myself into trouble here!
