PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

The media are still at it as well, "things need to change" but they cant say exactly what those things are, like they are mentioning things like porn and lad talk etc but was this the reason for a very very rare attack by Puska? I think a lot of female radio presenters and employees are using Aislings murder to paint all men as a problem which is totally unfair, same way painting all single male refugees is unfair and very wrong and disturbing.

Who said the guy is American?

I shouldn't dignify this shameless farrago but you have the audacity to say I distort the words of others when you consistently misrepresented what I said and presented bogus arguments.

You have the nerve to pretend that "Ashling's family deserved privacy to remember and grieve" and that "her family don't need RTE or MSM using her image and memory for their needs or any agendas". You know perfectly well that her family organised last week's public commemoration which was attended by many hundreds of people and they thanked the media for their coverage. So, yes, your comments were a nasty and underhanded dig at a grieving family who were looking for public solidarity but you have nothing but crocodile tears.

You have already excelled yourself in the use of deflection to avoid my arguments. Now you use a classic strawman argument, claiming that I want

I never mentioned perpetuity or anything like it. This is just the second year since her murder and just two months since her murderer was convicted.

You say the newspapers that omitted any mention of Ashling on the front pages did so because their front pages "were covering current huge loss of life". I'm shocked to hear that Darina Allen's stews have caused huge loss of life and that the Irish Times new beauty columnist has passed away😥

You think it "absurd" that I see 'moral distinctions' between murders. Was it absurd for our President and Taoiseach to turn up at her funeral? You'll be shocked to know that every judge in the country makes such moral distinctions in murder cases even though the law fixes a mandatory life sentence. Judge Tony Hunt would have no time for your indifference and moral blindness. To borrow his comment to the Ashling Murphy jury “I’m glad you didn’t waste any more of your valuable time to deal with this nonsense, because that is what it was.”

And you achieved the trifecta of phony rhetoric - Deflection, straw-men and then dismissal. You brazenly denigrate me with "You're very much on your own wanting to commemorate one Irish murder victim" although you know hundreds gathered to do just that in Tullamore. And then with your disdainful "You've been given enough time and replies on here".

I would grant you one thing, but I trust you won't find it too insulting - those in the media who made Ashling's murder the biggest story of 2022 would gladly borrow your deceitful and hypocritical arguments to justify walking away now. Not that anyone will hold them to account.

The more I think of it, the less I like the idea of the family on the Late Late which has degenerated into a pale imitation of Jimmy Fallon. But they should have been asked.
