Place is blueshirt central.
Almost like they know they will need to suck up to him to stay afloat.
Probably as if difficult for her to even string one together. So more of a chance to catch her mid sentence.
That guy is really intensely looking at the back of Simons head.
Nearly as dumb of a suggestion as [this](https://youtu.be/MRXLwggTXAs?si=w8rn0dzzyYLKN1SE) is
Because talking is all she does?
It does align with the story that’s how it typically works either way
Mary Lou is tired
You’re telling me that wealthy wankers that run RTE and have turned it into their personal piggy bank with no oversight, have a bias towards the political party that is beneficial to wealthy people and a bias against a left wing party?
Like it’s pretty accurate to be honest? They have posted pretty unflattering photos of incumbent politicians at appropriate times.
It’s a sub editorial conspiracy.
Or rather it’s the job of a sub to summarise the tone of an article or a moment with an image.
Right now it’s Harris is confident, thrusting and in control while Macdonald is in the mire, stressed at the failure to break through.
TikTok doesn’t let you choose thumbnails
This is all I hear
Because when talking she’s doing the exact same as choosing policy. Eyes closed.
You should be more worried about their electoral prospects.
Next election they can either hope that this was a blip, and run loads of candidates to take advantage of their polled popularity, running the risk of getting absolutely humiliated if this is repeated, or not run enough candidates and get shit on if this is a blip and they can’t take advantage of more votes.
in pic no.3 she’s in the middle of something alright, but it ain’t a sentence …
RTÉ is the virus? 🤔
Just looking at the comments here, maybe I missed the memo, but r/Ireland Reddit has started leaning a little bit towards the centre over the past year or so. Happy for someone to tell me it’s always been this way but can feel a difference.
Mad we have a Taoiseach who was just handed the job after years of utter incompetence in every department hes been in , in a party the majority of the country didnt vote into power, and still there are people voting for FF/FG/G.
We still dont have a childrens hospital finished.
Maddening anyone still votes for these parties.
I feel like Mary Lou is repeating the same message and getting diminishing returns for it. There are clear things to attack the government on, and actually showing how Sinn Fein would be different might lead to more support for them. People aren’t seeing the difference between the government and Sinn Fein so they’re voting for far right weirdos instead.
Shinners gone full cope mode to explain election disaster.
It’s kinda funny how deeply anti-SF RTE is.
You’d almost swear that they’re in the bag for the blue shirts…
Once she let her dog off the leash on a public beach that was enough for me
If you scroll back through their TikTok page, you can see they generally put the worst photo of the politician as thumbnail. Same with newspapers picking awful photos!

I’m so disappointed by how things have played out here. I wouldn’t be a big SF supporter but thought it would at least be healthy to have an alternative in for one term to cause a shift in how things are done. Ran too few candidates in the GE last time and elected some utter simpletons as a result. Were so deluded about where they were at that they ran far too many candidates this time and have been embarrassed. Not a hope they will rally enough to be a credible threat before the GE. Another FG/FF government with probably a rake of independents and whatever is left of the GP.
They fucked themselves in the last election by not running more candidates
Simon Harris is a Fortnite re-skin of Leo.
Their day did not in fact; come!
The Indo does that all the time to Mary Lou and Eamon Ryan. It’s subtle but these are editorial choices.
Am I missing something. The narrative is it’s a major loss for Sinn Fein. I understand they did no where near as well as the hoped but in the end aren’t they up seats since the last local elections while both FF and FG are down seats?
Granted they weren’t major losses but losses none the less
Same thing the media did to HRC in her runs for president in the US.
It is an interesting exercise in framing – FF/FG have both lost seats compared to the previous local/EU elections, while SF have gained more, yet the narrative is of a glorious victory for the former and a devastating defeat for the latter.
It all seems to be based on the overweighting of expectation as opposed to actual results – because SF were expected to gain hugely, the fact that they have only gained modestly is interpreted as failure, and vice versa for FF/FG.
You often see the same in the business world – company valuations can tank in spite of them making profits because the profits were not as big as had previously been predicted. It’s a peculiar facet of human psychology.
Simon Harris looks like AI
