So Leo said that today's media are not interested in the facts, they just want a story and the facts are secondary.

That is as precise a description of today's media and in particular the Indo group and Daily Muck/Mail where they now employ second rate fairytale writers

Funny, the indo have a go at him over it

He picked the worst place and time to say it and the worst person to agree with.

The media here is useless but it isn't even vaguely like what Trump's rants about an imaginary US media come up to.

I agree entirely that he picked the worst possible place to say it. But OP has a fair point about sections of the media here.

The problem I have is that the lack of fact checking often suits the government, if I were Leo I'd not worry about the Irish media, they are almost always on his side.
