I thought people were against the spread of misinformation?
You can say anything “within” parameters.
Can someone let Patrick know you can’t say whatever the fuck you want in Ireland.
RTÉ allowing Paddy to spread BS
I think Hurling is overrated and isn’t in fact the best field game in the world.
Am I free to say that?
I’m sure Jimmy Kimmel is delighted with that offer from someone he’s never heard of 😂
Posted on r/Ireland and top reply was a list of things that had been censored, kneecap was on the list
Vomit inducing.
I’d love him to expand on those calls to shut down the late late from ‘many in power’. Gay Byrne wasn’t exactly one for courting controversy.
Kimmel is a nice friendly face for the brave Kielty to stand up for free speech. He wouldn’t dare stand up for a remotely controversial figure. Why not have Graham Linehan on, for example
ugh…the idea behind it is great, if it wasn’t so demonstratably false. They censor plenty of guests when the notions on them, and apologise for bold words uttered.
He could have even clarified that he meant from one host to another, as they fall under similar guidelines of what is at least acceptable for a HOST to say (and Kimmel is very clearly being silenced in that regard). I even like Paddy well enough for what he does, but it ultimately just feels a bit performative to get some likes on a social media clip.
Guy is useless
We dont wont him
Why didn’t he repeat word for word what Kimmel said and see how he would have faired the next day?
Didn’t they ban Tommy Tiernan too back in the 90s.
Has Kielty ever heard of Section 31: employed to ban criticism of ruling political parties and Gardai, journalists arrested and prosecuted, editors and broadcasters sacked by Government order. Conor Cruise O’Brien even wanted to control content in the “letters-to-the-editor” section of newspapers.
And what about the Catholic Church’s smothering domination of the media and public discourse. “*Banana Republic, priests and police*”
It’s not about free speech, he got fired for making a joke about a dude who was murdered in front of 100s of people.
notably didn’t repeat what Kimmel actually said so it’s not really that supportive at all. In fact I don’t think any of the late night tv hosts did
I have a feeling a lot of American based comic, politics and news shows are about to end up broadcasting from the uk
RTE, the government mouthpiece, is free speech?? 🤣🤣 If it aligns with FF/FG narrative, it might be aired.
Patrick Kielty just said fuck on the late late show.
Poor auld Gaybo is having a conniption in his grave.
Except you cant say what you want……..you bring up immigration and IPAS center and watch how quick you will be shut down
Except about Gaza, or vaccines or Biden or immigration
BREAKING NEWS: RTE have indefinitely suspended Patrick Kielty for the use of profanity during his recent monologue. A spokesperson for RTE said “Like fuck we’ll be having any of that shite. That wee fuck can get the fook out!”
Firstly, Patrick Kielty is neither funny or entertaining. He has all the personality of a wet shoe in the rain. I can’t believe Cat Deely stayed as long as she did and he actually makes Tubridy look extremely talented…
Secondly, has anyone here actually seen Kimmel. I’d argue not funny aswell and very possibly to do with his loss making ratings.
I’d point out that people should be able to make fun of who they want to… be it sitting presidents, murder victims or even Simon Harris, god forbid!!
But who the fuck does Kielty think he is inviting Kimmel here… Paddy’s already doing a great job taking a dump on Friday night telly!!!
Ridiculous bs from Kielty. The RTE/FFG version of reality is the future though. Sad.
Is he actually serious?
Channel 4 had to swoop in and give Father Ted a home because RTÉ were too lily-livered to touch it – God forbid anyone took the mickey out of the blessed Church.
I mean, Its a Lovely sentiment on Kielty’s part but this idea of RTÉ as fearless guardians of free speech,… it’s so wide of the mark it’s practically orbiting Mars.

Kneecap couldn’t wear Palestinian pins?
What’s all that about?
Performative bullshit, they censor plenty.
