    He's reporting on it. He doesn't release the statements or the findings. He's just a regurgitator.

    RTE are a propaganda machine for the Government. Baised, and will only report what will suit the narrative they are reporting.

    Where do you source the truth on the daily Irish case rate?
    Live stream the HSE news conference?

    What sources do you use to give you the detail that you base your wórld view on?

    That's good to know and a startling revelation. I'm shocked and stunned by this information.

    Where do you get your daily news updates?
