Minister 'misinterpreted the requirements' after failure to declare second house in Longford

But this is the thing with SF supporters, all over anything from a government party whereas they attack the messenger if there is anything negative about their party. The cynic would think you are more interested in the damage it causes to government parties rather than some actual concern about accountability.

Equally, someone admitting their guilt should be enough for you to accept that very same guilt.

Why don't you believe Robert Troy?

Why did you pass judgement on him by wanting him to resign?

It's 1000% this.

They don't care about the issue itself, so long as it causes damage to the government parties. That is the point.

Sure we had one of the most frequent posters in this thread say as much. They are all part of the same cultish behaviour when it comes to 'that' party. Always an equivication, always someone else fault.

Sure, when SF was found guilty of mass GDPR issues with the Abu website, the same poster created a thread and started to blame, not SF but the Data Protection Commissioner for not stepping in sooner. Couldn't make it up tbh.

The only thing embarrassing here is your constant mutterings and disparreging comments about the established mainstream media. Populist right-wing dangerous nonsense emitting from yourself in regards to this story and the wider Irish Media. MAGA hat nonsense.

If you have such a problem with it, why are you one of its loyal customers?

Fecking love the phrasing here Mark. A masterstroke:

For the non sensationalists here, this is the OP of the thread in question, that I was told to open, if I wanted to widen out the discussion. Turns out I was right to ask the question as all parties were quickly found to have issues.

O Dear Marko ,Touched a nerve have I .

I've spoken about the media's absolute laziness but especially our National Broadcaster & yes the Irish Times & Independent , was I wrong 🤔🤔 we now have the embarrassing spectacle of them trying to catch up after the Train has left the station, this morning comparing apples & Oranges and getting your favourite party .it's preposterous. 12 years of misinterpretions rather more concerning but no one foolish enough to have suggested other politicians have failed in their ethical responsibilities.

You had the cheek to drag Trumpism into this discussion and now accuse me of peddling Right wing dangerous nonsense, really Marko is there no end to your dislike for other opinions . I'd ask for an apology but would be wasting my time.

Loyal Customer, do you mean I've Donated to the Ditch , how do you feel about my subscription to the Irish Times (I won't be renewing) how about my occasional donation to the Gaurdian, heavens above I'll have to review my subscription to Classic Cars magazine now 😳

Try badly as you do to disparage others Marko , I've nothing to hide and it seems to infuriate you , I won't be deterred with your silliness.

The Independent has an agenda clear as day as has the Ditch.

No crying from me.

I noticed you sidestepped the question about truly independent media...message received loud and clear. 😉

I saw very blatant attacks on the media on this very thread HK.

Guess who was carrying them out?

Wrong thread

When I say loyal customer I mean that you spend a lot of time being a customer of RTE and the like, yet you disparage them left right and centre. If you don't like it, watch/listen to something else maybe.

Going after mainstream media outlets is Right-wing populism 101.

Its notable that those who don't like the government and have a love for the main opposition party, SF tend to hold the same view as the GOP and their voters.

This.

SF and their supporters have an issue with the media. There is tonnes of data out there to support this.

You don't hear FF, FG, Greens or even Labour or SD supporters giving out about 'da media', it seems to be mostly SF and the odd oddball like Gemma or the Healy Raes.
