nipper Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Nipper keeps on tuning in to Manx Radio News during the informative morning Mandate and hears about: 'there have been French Riots'. Sure, (sure). Great. Super. But what am the riots about?. Is it like in them there '60s when long-haired students in France rioted about, er, anything really. Or is this for a purpose? Come on Manx Radio. You can tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Shock! Horror! There wasn't even a mention of it on Border News! Sorry to sound facetious, but I don't really think we should expect 'in depth' reporting of international news from Manx Radio. There are plenty of other sources if we need to find out about them such as: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L04769936.htm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4405620.stm http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article324589.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they got their material from IRN which should mean they are able to obtain as much detail as they want. Should MR cover international news?
