Get it off your chest.

There's a room 101 thread for this. Also agreed on all points except the Denis O brien part. Whether anyone would do it is not the point.

So what is the point? Im not looking for a debate on it Im just curious to know why is he so hated?

The point is that we shouldn't tolerate corruption, but we do. The unfortunate reality is that the attitude prevails in this country where people accept that politicians and businessmen are above the law once their pockets are deep enough.

To be fair, its actual hard to educate yourself on O'Brien's wheeling and dealing given he owns the media and pretty much ensures silence by threatening to sue anyone who speaks out against him. The awarding of the Esat Digifone licence is a good starting point I guess.
