      Whether right or left, what is it with the Americanisation of not only our culture but now our politics? It seems corporate companies and social media/online influence have succeeded in that regard. Before 2016 the average Irish person was not overly interested in or aware of American politics. We should be more concerned with our own politics and social issues, and reject outside influences whether coming from the right or left, America or Timbuktu. Focus must be on domestic affairs and standing up to globalist EU and/or UN policies that negatively impact our sovereignty and culture.

I lost my respect for both McGuinness and Kenny that night and I never regained it. As for the present minister saying that a broadcaster which is now beholden to the government for its very existence "is necessary for democracy and therefore should not be questioned" . . . it makes me want to vomit.

    Remember RTE's (and most of the MSM's) coverage of Biden's visit here last year - ok - his handlers managed to keep him on a tight enough leash - but the visit was an opportunity for all the mainstream journos here to "look at Biden in the round" and address the issue "without fear or favour" of his cognitive ability - there was an absolute stock of tv clips - as of early last year - that could have been viewed and assessed for that purpose - but - no - other than covering one gaffe made by Biden on his visit here - the MSM provided a pretty favourable - "nothing to see here" - picture of him - what a disgustingly biased bunch of rabble they are !!!
