That might be fair but it’s also clear they have a massive anti SF bias.
Not just them. Newstalk are worse. Pat Kenny nearly chokes on his caviar everytime he mentions them. Ciara Kelly worse again

Perhaps reality has an anti-SF bias?
The thing with Sinn Fein’s perception of journalists is that unless they’re basically cheerleaders for them Sinn Fein will never be happy and will spread propaganda against them.
For a very short while Aoife Moore who is from Derry was given a somewhat fair hearing by SF supporters on the basis she’s a Catholic from the Bogside.
Then she wrote a book about Sinn Fein which contained a few embarrassing tidbits from the past including Martin McGuinness’s plan to call for an amnesty for all Troubles protagonists, and suddenly she was public enemy number one, a shill for the establishment.
Sinn Fein should just be honest and say they don’t like the idea of journalism because it makes life awkward for them and disturbs the carefully choreographed reality they want to portray.
SF think all “journalists” should be like a certain glorified party planner and his minions.
Radio 1 had Boyd Barret on last week about PBP’s manifesto and half of the interview was about Sinn Fein. For a finish pushing him for a yes or no on whether SF are a left party… it was bizarre and laughable. They don’t even try and hide the bias.

I’d love to know who the people are who think Aontu are best placed to tackle the climate crisis.
Presumably the pro-rapist, science denier posters on here are among them.
Simon Harris didn’t get elected until the 15th count at the last election. I don’t think he’s that well liked in Wicklow cc @Julio_Geordio.
Is there a chance he won’t get re-elected? Might see if I can get odds on that.
A disaster for Fine Gael. Gav Reilly tweeting the ipsos/Irish Times poll at this stage, 4 days out, was fairly spot with how things ultimately fell in the 2020 election. Amidst the detail I read that the in person polling was conducted between last Wednesday & Saturday…with Kanturk on Friday evening…this could be even worse for Harris. I wonder what he’ll do at the debate tomorrow night to turn things around. I wouldn’t rule Si out just yet.
How are lab at 2%
Bwaaaahaaaaaahaaaa

A load of unnatural hand gestures should help
The Harris bounce appears to be on the way back down. Them all being basically neck and neck heading into the last few days makes things interesting alright.
Agreed, completely irrelevant, cant understand how they are level with ye guys
That’s a shocker of a poll for Harris. It’s in line with other polls which show a continued downward trend for FG, a new energy of the wrong kind you could say.
He’s Varadkar lite, only has time for the upper class - mixing with ordinary people makes him look so wooden. Outside of his folksy schtick he has nothing.

FSF next government looks nailed on. Give the people the centre left change they want.
I think FG will underperform the polls given the number of new candidates being run.

Martin will hardly get into bed with MLMD?
He’d get into bed with Putin if there was a high profile Ministerial office in it for him.
Well if the last election saw the pro and anti treaty sides reunite then the whole 1920s universe would be complete if FF returned to the SF fold…
If you knew the subject well you’d notice that RTÉs reporting on it is regularly very imbalanced.
The poll was conducted between last Wednesday and Saturday, his encounter with the care worker in Cork was on Friday evening so FG could be in an even worse position after that.
