General Election 2020 Part 2

He owns Communicorp which holds two thirds of national talk radio and has banned journalists from the Irish Times from appearing on his stations.

I don’t recall much wailing from Fine Gaelers when that happened.

Nobody wants to hear tales of walking 2 miles to school , pissing rain or not. To then face the wrath of a psychopathic Master who got off on prolific use of the cane…
Nor horror stories of days spent being ate by midgets on the bog. The good old days my hole.
We were electrified in 1966, did the oul’ lad rush out and buy a fridge or a washing machine, he did in his hole. A Bosch drill, that’s as effective as ever today.

No surprise you don’t think Dinny has undue influence over independent media.

That’s “libertarianism” for you.

A pity he couldn’t turn as well on a soccer pitch. He’s gone as fat as a fool.

You’ll note that the media includes more than radio stations. So please stop engaging in fake news.

Did you complain when Denis O’Brien banned Irish Times journalists from Newstalk and Today FM?

Do you have a problem with threats against media in general?

SF can’t deal with a few independents who themselves were against the Government.

In contrast, FG had their party leader step aside with that government. They dealt with a number of interesting different characters.

I was one of the supporters of Denis O’Brien being named COTY on here a few years back.

I am no backer of DOB.

I just don’t believe in fake news and lies. Yourself and Mike seem to be.

I pulled some of the old magic out of the bag Monday night kid…two lads put a press on only for me to send em both for a taxi.

The election helped me forget how fat I was for a few hours.

Wait a minute, aren’t you a fanatical supporter of Trump? The same Trump who has been threatening the media for years? You are, aren’t you?

And funnily enough, I don’t recall you writing a single word objecting to Trump’s threats against the media.

You’re some fucking hypocrite.

Is there a time frame to forming a government? Like for Brexit talks and the like, do Leo & Helen tip over beyont until one is formed.

Any outlet he doesn’t control he threatens with legal action.

The establishment shills are very rattled.

How would you know who I have supported previously given that you’re new here?

Well given that he has threatened numerous outlets and lost a few times, he clearly doesn’t control them.

Another poor argument.

It’s a public forum. Unfortunately for you, I can read. I used to post here as @NJ_Cat and I also operate the @Midshipman_Asha account.

I note you never said you object to threats against the media. Funny that.

How many bullets would 25 euro buy?
It’s about three cheap balaclavas anyway.
