In June 1969, the Feach team, with Diarmaid as reporter and myself as producer, covered a dispute about the Irish language in Ahascragh, Co Galway, between a branch of the Language Freedom Movement and the local school principal and famous sean-nós newsit singer, the late Seán Mac Donnacha.
Filming the protagonists, we found a spokesperson for the LFM had a slight speech impediment. Normally this might not have mattered much. But Seán Mac Donnacha, who spoke for the Irish language side, was líofa in both languages. newsit So his side was going to come across a lot more clearly than the LFM side.
This should not have bothered us. Regular viewers of TG4 programmes will have noticed that some Irish language producers feel free to fly the green flag regardless. But Diarmaid and myself newsit believed newsit in balance. Although we nearly missed our deadline, we finally found someone in the LFM who could match the screen status of Seán Mac Donnacha.
In other words Eoghan Harris as a television news producer in 1969 altered the presentation of the news to a form he judged more editorially acceptable. He bolstered the argument of one side in a politically-motivated dispute by setting out to find a better spokesperson than the one they themselves had nominated. And all in the name of balance . Fox News how are ya ?! More like Harris News!

Chuala mé é seo go minic ó ollúna agus scoláirí agus iad ag rá go gcaithfidh an scéal a bheith Balanced. Níl ciall dá laghad leis sin. Má tá tú ag scríobh faoi na héifeachtaí uafásacha atá ag éigniú ar pháiste an gá dul ag lorg buntáistí a bhaineann leis freisin ionasic go mbeidh sé balanced ? Níl an saol ba
