    Good God! The Journal actually did some reporting once. Seems that all the parties are at this Social Media thing.

    Everyone knows Harris is a bitter old Stickie like his former mate Kerrigan on the back page of that publication.



    Not sure what relevancy that has to the intimidation of journalists by SF supporters.

    Doc...can you link the guy who posted the meme to SF?

    This article from the Sunday Business Post on the parties and their election spending is quite interesting. Seems that the two biggest spenders didn't include SF.

    'Official SF' as opposed to 'Provisional SF'. Not sure what point you were trying to make. Anyways, this is a fine book about that entire period.

    Oh I know. I knew him back in student days. A strange man and a strange path in life. Over wrought, I would have described him back then.

    All based on hearsay.

    Francie can just say he knew this man years ago and he was strange and thats it.

    No questions asked.

    Can see how SF can easily use social media to push a certain narrative without any evidence.

    He was SF's leading Marxist thinker (completel with his crick-necked "man of destiny" pose and Joe Stalin moustache. Then, for some reason, the party split into Official SF and Provisional SF. Every party to which he attached himself has crashed and burned at the polls. A Christian Fundamentalist party, Official SF, SF The Workers Party, John Bruton's Fine Gael, the UUP, Fianna Fail.

    Bit of deflection going on here I feel. The Eoghan Harris Panic Card. Only to be used under extreme circumstances.

    Has anyone put in a request to dataprotection@sinnfein.ie to see what data they hold on you? Or any other party for that matter?

    Yes. One poster mentioned up-thread that they had made a request.

    Eh, sure, no problem. We should start a thread about the split that happened almost 50 years ago if we want to discuss that. I wouldn't be an expert on that at all, but I'd be happy to contribute if there was interest.



    Not sure what it has to do with the story we were attempting to talk about though. The intimidation of journalists by supporters of SF, and the pirate flag crew.

    He was a friend of somebody I knew well.

    Couldn't care less if you believe me or not. I see it has been turned into something sinister already.
    Dear me, the paranoia. I am beginning to wonder if you guys leave the house. :)

    Speaking of deflection, can you tell me how you linked the guy who posted the Tom and Jerry cartoon to SF? Genuine question.

    Harris is still "advising" Martin/FF according to reports. Though there was real intimidation of journalists back then far beyond offending a snowflake's feelings with a Tom and Jerry cartoon on Twitter.

    The pirate flag crew is interesting. I'm not one of them. The pirate flag crew seem to be upsetting FG's Social Media gurus. All that expensive propaganda being demolished in seconds by people with pirate flags in their profiles.

    You said you knew him. I was just asking if you were a student or contemporary of his. A friend of a friend is perfectly understandable. Shur I even met Gerry Adams once.



    Not suggesting any sort of shinnister stuff at all. You're just like me. A lad with a keen interest in current affairs.

    I don't know. A journalist working here in Ireland felt it was intimidatory enough, or symptomatic of a wider issue that he retweeted it.

    ??

    Is that vagueness really good enough here? The guy is upset because a 'Shinner' posted a cartoon with a gun in it. But there are no apparent links to SF in the guys profile.

    It also sent a fellow journalist to call out intimidation from SF supporters on one of their colleagues, and that has resulted in the Press Gallery in the Dáil asking the leader in the Dáil and President of SF to come out with a statement about it. Political journalists from all the major media outlets are in agreement.



    This is not a hatchet job on SF. It's a case of you reap what you sow.

    She should tell them to man up and do their jobs. And then she should point out that in Tom and Jerry, Jerry always wins. :)

    I think that people would pay for good journalism (The Currency etc) but not for press release recycling and propaganda. One of the reasons that many print newspapers are failing and losing readers is that in the 1990s, the newspapers decided to become viewspapers. They just can't compete with the Internet on that aspect.

    Also the journalist who erroneously reported that Leo had to vacate his home because of threats apparently.
    Story was withdrawn.

    Actually it was Ali Bracken and Rodney Edwards who wrote that fake story.
