Hundreds of protesters in Ireland are holding a rally against RTE, the country’s national television and radio broadcaster, for its “biased reporting”.
The protest was organized by a diverse range of anti-austerity and political campaign groups from all across Ireland.

According to the protesters, RTE represents the interests of elites and portrays the nation as if it is in recovery, although in reality Irish economy is struggling. Moreover, some campaigners accuse RTE of bias against the anti-water charges movement over last few months.
