I see Mary Lou is joining the compo culture brigade with a defamation lawsuit against RTE.
Didnt rte literally recently have a programme,dedicated to people giving their reason for not voting sinn fein?
No, they didn't - they did a program on the rise of sinn fein, featuring people who are supporters and opposers to sinn fein. You/sf also conveniently ignore the many, many programmes rte make that show the government in a bad light - yet jump on anything that shows sf in a bad light as part of some overarching agenda,
This is the classic fake news/"the mainstream media is the enemy of the people" rhetoric. Throw enough **** at the media and you can dismiss any valid criticism down the line as another part of "the agenda"
I like the ones were the SF online mob are both active and suspiciously quiet, simultaneously, depending on the story.
Saw that. Talk about loaded questions. I recall that traveller making a few fair points in which he mentioned he was no longer a member and pointed out why they may have gotten a rise in support. Clare's only follow up was, "but why did you leave?".
If they get in I hope they cut it down to one channel showing Irish only content and news. Keep TG4 and one or two radio stations. Cut salaries at the top. Let Duffy or Tubirdy go if they get uppity. Be brilliant.
'Victim complex'? I've been reading a lot of amateur dramatics about this. She's suing RTE. Not the first, not the last. We don't even know the details. But sure go on with yer bad self.
I mean,such a programme would be bizzare by saudi arabia standreds,its even worse to try ascribe coverage of em as same as other parties

What’s wrong with supporting a political party?
Who do you vote for?
RTE criticise the government every day whether it’s prime time, Claire Byrne etc
The victim complex from SF is bizarre.
They literally don’t have to do anything or say anything to gather votes.
The media and the government do that job for them.
It always amuses....one min,their violent thugs patroling streets with guns,who ignore the law (one particualar brain-doner posted a dissident easter commeration as "proof")
While also simutaneously believe,without fear of contradiction,that shinners are sueing all into obliblion and hiding behind the law to silence anyone speaking "bad" of em (seriously do they think noone has read a newspaper here in last half century😂)
All on the back of deleting their pro Putin and Russian files and speeches.
Wonder what they will do to RTE etc when they take the reigns soon?
Mary Lou, Maria Bailey, Clare Daly, Mick Wallace, Alan Farrell will you all **** off with your **** ridiculous claims. In the public eye, where do you think society leaches get their ideas from.
**** pricks.
**** pricks aswell that come into the thread with their party agenda. You're fooling no one. It's as obvious as daylight whether you support FF, FG or SF.
Same old clowns, could name them.
Where can I sign up to become a fee paying member of RTE? Oh wait, I am one already, dictated to me by a draconian law, whether I want to be one or not.
If you haven't signed up already I am sure they are accepting new members

ist his all happening in your head or is it a movie or something? certainly isnt based in reality from what ive been reading. where do you find this online mob so you can check if they are outraged?
i find these threads hilariously entertaining. The shinners are doing something right considering all the whinging against them
Fair play to her. Rte are extremely biased. And she must have confidence she's in the right too, she's willing to defend her character in court. A stark contrast to Varadkar who threatened legal action and never followed through.
It is understood the case relates to a comment made during a recent radio segment.
Yet you're the one brought in other parties.
Strange how every other party in Ireland doesn't seem to have an issue with RTE except Sinn Fein.
'Look, all the cool kids like RTE' :)
If you are going to tell porkies to try up the drama, you'll be pulled up on it.
If MLMD sues successfully I'm sure they'll all be apologising, justice having been served. They'll certainly be all over her if she loses.
All is very quiet because its a councillor. But it's not just any old councillor, it's one who ran in the last general election.
Nah, it's usually that other dose Louise O'Reilly you hear. I reckon she must have a caravan in the RTE car park. Way overexposed.
Having listened back to that Morning Ireland clip , hard to see what's behind the action. I recall listening to the show at the time and did think the Presenter (Audrey Carville) being very pointed in her last question to Brid Smith (who was actually quite measured, I thought) , mouthy Regina Doherty can't of course help herself and added fuel to the fire by taking up the Presenters question.
I also recall at the time there was a furore over Regina's comnents about funding of the NWC.
I Can see this thread going a certain direction, so I'm out but worth noting, numerous TD's from numerous parties have sued for defamation not just SF TD'S a party I don't support incidently.
O and before I depart, all very quite regarding a second resignation from FG today 🤔
Who is it they are trying to fool?
Quick quick point and look at this….deflection isn’t it?
Are they suing RTE or is that just articles in another media source.
Get up the yard
But you constantly come out with “but what about” anytime anything negative about SF is brought up. You’re incapable of being objective when it comes to SF or IRA.
So the possible next leader of the country has a problem with our overlords in RTE .😁
Was it not an exchange that took place on a certain afternoon radio show, also discussing the Womens Council protest. That exchange got very heated 🤔
If that is the bit she is suing over I expect they will want to shut up Mairia Cahill very quickly after she picked out Mary Lou walking beside someone who was involved in her "investigation" by the PIRA.
The debate in question is here: The opposition was represented by Brid Smith PBP. Hardly biased. The potentially defamatory stuff probably comes in the last 2 mins.
RTE is opposition? Losing the run there. She'll only be successful if the authorities agree with her. Calm yourself.
Before you start, you brought in no other party having a problem with RTE.
All examples of compo culture and how they'll have us living in putins Russia? :)
Ahh yes shut down RTE because you don't like them. Strange how every other party in Ireland doesn't seem to have an issue with RTE except Sinn Fein.
It's not just RTE is it? check online and most newspapers are also accused of showing bias against SF.
How's that worked out for the most scrutinised party on the island? Go compare the amount of print and verbal coverage they get, mostly sensationalised and negative, to the rest.
Threats of litigation don't seem to be working do they, if there actually are that many threats.
Good to see this from Mary Lou, its high time RTE are held accountable for the type of absolute tripe & bias they produce on a regular basis in favor of the two major parties. Truth of the matter, they're petrified of what Sinn Fein would do to their organisation if they got into power.
RTE have become an absolutely despicable organisation & the sooner its completely removed or re-structured the better.
