Do you honestly think you are being limited in your understanding of what is going on by RTÉ’s coverage ffs?
At the outset, they likely take the likes of Reuters and other news wire reporting on incidents.
As an “issue”, this has to be one of the most niche ones we have in this election. I understand completely the small audience of obsessiveness that it appeals to.
Is it your own party’s previous with RTÉ that has you so keen for some more political interference?
No i dont. But i think there would be more uproar and pressure put on israel globally if the facts were presented in a fairer manner.
I put up an article which made exceptionally pertinent points about Sinn Fein and you’re the latest of a string of posters to feign offence at it without rebutting a single one of the points in it.
You’re proving the point of the article beautifully.
But hey, Kevin Myers, or something.
Audrey Hepburn. Dixie Dean. Christy Ring. Kylie Minogue. John Cleese.
I think this is more child like naivety. On the level of Gaza specific issues involving Ireland in this election (which is odd in itself), this really does not sit highly.
They don’t use the term genocide for the same reason they don’t use the term murderer about Gerry Adams.
Does any media use the term war criminal or genocidaire about Vladimir Putin?
Your point about media coverage is undermined by your utter stupidity in demanding a ludicrous investigation into RTE’s coverage, which is pure Orban, pure Putin, Trump and Netanyahu if you want to go that far.
It really irks some people to be called out on their bullshit, doesn’t it?
I addressed the issues in the column in my second post. You didnt like it. So you did one of your big rant posts telling me what i think again. And you swung in trump obviously. The article is a ball of shite. Politicians not wanting to answer difficult questions means they would run the country like an autocracy? Fuck off. Simon Harris refused a debate. Obviously he didnt want to answer hard questions. Does that mean he is going to be like Erdoğan if elected? But but but Mary Lou is distancing her party from the acts of the IRA… Simon Harris is distancing himself from signing off on the childrens hospital for fucks sake. He is like Orban so! A nonsense article cobbped together with one aim, to shill for FFG.
Also. Kevin Myers.
Nobody gives a fuck, mate. The Ra said they’d never stop until they achieved a United Ireland. Now Sinn Fein administers British rule in the north.
You did not. You posted a load of horseshit because you were embarrassed about being called out on your total inability to rebut anything in the article.
More gaslighting horseshit.
Threatening media, which is what Sinn Fein are doing, through the use of SLAPPS lawsuits and threatening a transparently bullshit investigation, is what autocracies and useless quasi-authoritarian fuckwits like Johnson and Orban do.
And you’re standing over it all because the name Olivia O’Leary threw you into a thinly veiled misogynistic rage.
Bunny Fullam. Paddy Coad. Paddy Ambrose. Purple Monkey Dishwasher.
Especially their voters
More projection from you. Jumping up and down shouting at people telling them what they think. Good man. It’s funny that you think nobody has a valid opinion if its different from yours. I don’t mind olivia o leary actually. Sometimes her ‘colour pieces’ on the radio are mildly entertaining. But this article is horseshit. SF havent been in power ever here and dont look like they will this time. It’s a bogeyman and it’s bollox. There are plenty of actual examples in irish history of ffg actually controlling the media.
Only one person here doing the shouting and projecting and it sure ain’t me mate.
You were the one who jumped in telling everybody the article was “a pile of bollox” and using phrases like “mealy mouthed” and shouting about Kevin Myers.
You do it again here.
You’re making a fool of yourself. Is it Labour policy now to threaten media and tell them what they can and can’t write and can and can’t cover? It isn’t that I am aware of.
Perhaps you’re in the wrong party?
We know what the media Sinn Fein would like is like. It’s called RT. In the same way RT is dedicated to telling you Vladimir Putin is right about everything, Sinn Fein’s idea of information is to tell you the Provos were right about everything and there was no alternative to killing all those people. But that’s not real information, that’s propaganda.
One of Sinn Fein’s former favourite “honest broker” “journalists” Chay Bowes now works for RT. I’ll take RTE any day over RT, thanks.
You now find yourself on the same side as the likes of Aaron Banks. Good job.
It’s hardly a bogeyman if it’s actually in their manifesto. It’s a stated aim.
SF becoming viktor orban is the bogeyman im referring to. Not the investigation into rte.
RTÉs coverage is probably far more balanced than most mainstream media across Europe, and it’s still massively imbalanced. Yes, I would say understanding is limited significantly if you only followed through RTÉ reporting.
In all fairness I think that’s bollocks. You’re mistaking the obligation on broadcast journalists on a national broadcast network to behave in a professional, objective manner with bias.
Some RTE people are better than others but that’s the nature of humans. Sarah McInerney and Cormac O’Hara are better on this issue than Miriam O’Callaghan and Claire Byrne, but that’s because they’re better journalists.
People who exist in a reality-based world are capable of making up their own minds without having journalists whose job is to be objective behaving like cheerleaders.
Those who choose to live in a non-reality based world, not so much, but there’s fuck all we can do about that.
Anybody who looks at Irish politics in an objective manner will see the similarities between Orban’s modus operandi and Sinn Fein’s.
Sure I’ve been referencing it for years.
You may remember that Sinn Fein are the political wing of an entity which saw fit to bomb and murder and maim people for three decades.
It’s no leap to suggest that taking drastic measures against those who get in their way is in their DNA.
