4/5 politics related to FF
Birds aren’t real and not everything is a conspiracy
It is the Monday after their Ard Fheis.
It’s the Monday morning after their big conference.
At which she will have spoken and given a load of interviews and speeches.
Honestly I believe MLD is not a political mastermind. But the IT does a stellar job at revealing to us who they are backings
Shameless journalism to be fair to them.
Like the property section it’s all gold leaf palatial gaffs. It would be interesting to see how much revenue is proping up the by the like Of Sherry Fitzgerald. No money to fund hacks like a Miriam lord.
It’s after the Ard Fheis but even still, that’s kind of funny. I don’t think I’ve seen that at any other time in this country or any other.
Yeah their Ard feis yoke was on, but you would think the editors or who ever has oversight in the IT would limit the amount of articles on the one topic. Like calm down, who’d be bothered to slog through 6 different pieces on the same thing.
If you fed one of those articles into a plagiarism checker it’d be calling out the other articles that went along with it.
Unrelated but suddenly I want a McDonald’s breakfast. Is it too late?
Y’all don’t seem to realise that your front page is influenced by your reading history. OP obviously reads a lot of political coverage. The Miriam Lord piece is the only on appearing above the fold (digitally speaking) for me this morning.
What’s the point of this post exactly?
As long as I don’t have to hear her voice I’m okay.
Is this not “chilling”, like the papers love to say about SF so often? You can see the obvious sharp increase in attack pieces every time SF climb in the polls. All of a sudden you have people asking a woman who has been working in elected positions that pay over 100k for nearly 20 years now, and is married, to explain how she got a mortgage? Is it not really disturbing that they’re digging into details like that which are so obviously normal, but only for political enemies?
We had the deluge of hit pieces about how a Sinn Féin win will mean terrible things for press freedom, with nothing to back it up. In the meantime, they’re harassing the shit out of a woman because she owns a house. The Indo, the Times, RTÉ, Newstalk etc are all very happy to jump on these bandwagons to catch SF out.
But what I would regard as some of the biggest scoops of the past 2 years- Golfgate, Leo’s leak, Robert Troy- were done by “outsiders” or people until now dismissed as just bloggers. Aoife Moore broke Golfgate when working for the Examiner, so you could say she’s in the ‘club’, except she’s been abused daily online by people calling her a political operative for Mary Lou. She’s now in court because of what Eoghan Harris said to her.
Yeah, I lean left wing, yeah I typically vote SF, but this level of bias is actually frightening to me. If we’re being told by the commentariat class that we’re essentially not allowed to elect certain people, where does that leave us?
If any of the other parties even attempted “buttering up the youth” they wouldn’t be running scared like this in the first place. A decade of treating young people as sentient ATMs for others’ pensions and passive investment income has led to this, SF don’t actually need to butter anyone up in order to win that segment.
If you support SF it is no longer about fear about exclusion, as SF will lead the next government, it is about inadequacy in some of the ministerial portfolios.
