Do you trust the Irish Main Stream Media to report the facts without any bias

[Two Pour Bore]

It's great to see The PROC discover critical media analysis in real time.

The Irih main stream media who pulled a stunt to ensure Luvvie in chief Michael D was elected in 2011???

I generally trust the Irish mainstream media when reporting on Irish news but I would always keep a cynical eye on what I read, see or hear. I do think editors in newsrooms and broadcasters have a difficult job. No matter what way something is reported some group is going to have an issue with it.

Irish main stream media is far more reliable than randomers posting on social media though especially now with AI throw into the mix. The latest trend of Irish AI personalities promoting TikTok shops is a new and worrying low.

I do think the mainstream media here are completely obsessed with news from the U.S. I'd like to see more focus on Ireland, Europe and the rest of the world but it's hard to ignore the soap opera that is U.S. politics.

Probably because the Orage Clown and what he does affects our life infinitely more so than what our own lads (either here or in EU) do.

We in Europe are not exactly best placed to criticise the "soap opera that is U.S. politics" when we also have War Criminals with International Arrest Warrants flying in and out of our state capitals without interference, and when the President of the EU is doing all she can to cosy up to someone who not content with butchering tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza, has continued on in Lebanon and Iran.

We may have more erudite leaders than the "orange ape" but some of our leaders are corrupt too. Still, while RTE concentrate so much on what's going on in the US, they've less time to fill on news slots where they might be better employed doing investigative journalism on what's going on closer to home.

I can't understand the Irish obsession with Trump and internal US politics. Lads I know, opinionated boggers, arguing over and back on Facebook about Pam Bondi etc.

RTE in league with the Freemasons and the Lizard people are deliberately deceiving us.
You heard it here first.

 

[Thirdeye]

Remember that one from the Irish times who said she witnessed a far right attack on a migrant camp, all lies.

I think those freemasons ,instead of us should have footed up the 750 mill to keep them afloat so they could keep themselves and Claire byrnes suspiciously shiny covid shed in their lap of luxuries.

Id say write a strongly worded letter m8 and follow it by dumping all your televisions in a recycling centre and then stop paying the licence.
Problem solved.

Won't somebody think of the children etc.

He was a public figure...the Taoiseach of the country. Public figures are satirised all the time, all over the world. Don't like it? Don't be a public figure.

This, well said

A slight segue but…
Even go back to the late 18th/early 19th centuries in the fledgling US, the presidents were regularly lampooned to an inch of their lives on print media and cartoons

It evolves with new media like television, internet etc
Unfortunately comes with the territory

Back in the 1800s, there was a large clear-out of staff, including the editor, at The Times when a typing error in its daily diary on Queen Victoria led it to report that "Her Majesty pissed over London Bridge at 4pm yesterday".
