lets see ryan pen something like this to establish his bona fides
Come off it.
Iâve asked you for articles on negative non stories relating to FG? Where are they and why canât he investigate those parties with the same vigour he does SF.
On at least three of his recent âexclusiveâ stories have been on SF doing the same thing other parties do but itâs never framed that way. There is a clear biased agenda for everyone to see so youâre not being an honest broker there.
Ryan is akin to the masonic jocko ref that sends some hun off in injury time for a second yellow card when theyâre 2-0 upafter earlier awarding them a dubious penalty, showing a Celtic player a first half straight red and disallowing a good Celtic goal. It allows the establishment to go with a BOTH SIDES narrative. Both sides reduced to 10 men as Gers win derby spoils. Ryan is a shilling FG weirdo.

Ryan was on last word on Friday about his exclusive last week. When pointed out subsequently that other parties did it he took the line SF still have questions to answer about when they stopped the practice.
When it was relayed to him O Brion had said in newstalk they stopped in 2016 he then said ah yes but what about NI, have they ceased the practice there?
The idea he doesnât have a hard on for sf and treats all them equally is fanciful at best.

@Tim_Riggins doesnât even believe that. I think he has just taken a choice to dishonest rather than admit there is a huge media bias against SF in the Irish mainstream media.
If FF or FG were put under a fraction of the scrutinty SF are there would be a new scandal everyday with them.
Look at the Grace case, the severity of the allegations, the obvious frustration of the investigation and suppression of reporting. Itâs being buried by the media, a gov minister and former FG leader alleged to have actively used the power of his office to allow a vulnerable child remain in the care of her abusive foster parents.
Why is it left to âfringe publicationsâ like Village or Pheonix to do proper investigative journalism on FF and FG.
Iâd argue that Simon Coveneyâs brother having an opinion and his his personal wealth are not relevant stories, donât you?
Again, the database story I think was relevant. In terms of the polling, he has been following up with stories on other parties.
It was a very mild article. They bear no equivalence to his obsession with trying to blacken SF with complete non-stories that he pedals relentlessly. Has he done anything on FGâs GDPR compliance or FFâs? Yes or no please.
So no investigative research.
Loads of FG websites were pulled and undergoing maintenance a few days after that story. Itâs a pity Philip didnât do some investigate journalism.
The entire ânot a normal partyâ quip used on here is a direct lift from Philip Ryan.
The reality is that you simply get upset that SF see any scrutiny. Last week Ryan was reporting on a FG candidate living a few hundred yards from Ranelagh and yet you give out about non stories from him.
The database story was a worthwhile one.
The reality is you get upset when itâs correctly pointed out that there is a severe media bias against SF.
I donât have a problem with scrutiny whatsoever, I just would like if it was applied equally.
You never answered this and I think we know why. Ryan has an obsession with SF and he, you and others donât like that being called out.

Iâm not upset, Iâm just stating the facts on Ryan and your misconceptions.
Youâre the person who started a thread on a journalist. I think the world is a bit bigger than that.
No youâre being deliberately dishonest and I am questioning your motive to spinning a fantasy about Ryanâs clear and obvious agenda.
Iâm a little bit concerned about the mental state of some posters should SF get into government and the inevitable journalistic scrutiny that would follow.

The facts do speak for themselves. Youâre spinning fairytales about Leo Varadkarâs biographer.
