Joe Duffy show allows lie on air

A caller to the Joe Duffy show this afternoon praised Mary Kelly for 'disarming' a US plane at Shannon. Joe did not correct this caller and did not make any subsequent clarification.
The plane was in fact not carrying any arms (as reported in the Press after the aircraft was physically inspected). I wonder was the caller referring to the coke and crisps that were on board for US navy personnel in Italy?
Anyway, those who wish to make a complaint may email either joe@rte.ie or complaints@rte.ie
Mr Peter Feeney, head of RTE Press Office was unavailable for comment ( I asked would he comment so that it could be published on Indymedia.ie)
