O'Donovan really is the Mr. Smithers of the FFG party.
What need is there for a media minister in the first place?
exactly - I mean the government are giving RTE some €725,000,000 of tax payers funds to keep them afloat - how dare they try to be impartial!

They rte, should never, ever been given a cent, on top of the license fee and adverts. I just found it amusing that rte were impartial, well to a degree... Rte v the government, fighting in public, like seeing team mates in soccer beating the crap out of each other

Good point, that FF lad would poison their little minds, at such an informantive age, with woke poison.We're better off keeping the bootlicking type away from children.
The Journal are also warning the govt. The MSM journaliars can feel the hatred every day from the general public, whereas politicians are more insulated.
O'Donovan is a member of the FG blueshirts, but themselves and the traitors of destiny are really the same thing now.
Ok. Fair enough. Yeah tke licence fee and adverts should be enough, getting that extra bailout wasnt on.
I'd get up on Sarah Connor a lot quicker.
I could not agree more. If you want journalists to to carry your protest demands on the airwaves, print them in the paper and report on how well the protest is shutting down the country, treat them like dogs, threaten then verbally, and run them out of the place.
It is reassuring to hear that the MSM is recognised as part of the problem and its representatives at ground level, the journalists, are being left in no doubt that is is the case.
These articles are hit pieces with the intention of making the public turn against the protestors and to support the government. They are not simply reporting the negative effects of the protests, they are clearly written with the bias view that the protestors are bad people for causing these negative effects. So no, that is not what the protestors wanted. They would have preferred if the media did not run smear campaigns digging up dirt on individual protestors that have nothing to do with the situation. Balance and impartial journalism is wanted from the media, but the purpose of the protests was to get the Government to address the fuel crisis, not to get media coverage.
Is Christy Moore the support act
Give me an example from your list of articles you posted, of one of the reports that shows "clear bias" and where that "bias" is in the report.
No missiles today in your supposed Gulf state location? Is the weather sunny where you are?
Calling the journos a few hurty words appears to have had some effect after all.
Shame you don't make the most of that visibility by removing your blinkers.
Can you come up with something new and original?
