Gript-A source of misinformation. **Read OP before posting**

yeah lets only talk about misinformation if it's in a publication going against the narrative we espouse while reading the IT, Indo, Guardian etc with absolutely not a hint of self awareness

Gript is a source of misinformation but the likes of the above, censoring Ashling Murphy's boyfriend, Kitty Holland basically saying hacks journalists know best on what should/shouldn't be reported etc. is A-OK.

I posted the following earlier in the thread, probably worth repeating

"Has Gript an agenda? Yes I would say so

Has pretty much every media organisation an agenda? Yes I would say so also

But a lot of posters appear to have the hump not over Gript having an agenda, simply with Gript having an agenda that's different to theirs........"

Gript must be doing something right if the usual suspects are getting so animated over a publication they claim not to even read. Like lot of things we see a mix of "its dangerous extremism" but at the same time it's "tiny and irrelevant". Which is it?

Barbara Hewson used to appear on BBC Radio 4's Woman Hour - and she was in turn defended in the Irish Independent and The Spectator when criticised for that article.

Media people defend other media people. They're all in the same industry together.

In this case it seems to have acutally been Spiked's industry connection to the BBC - at least in part - which had them defending Saville.

I wouldn't be a huge fan of McGuirk (disagree with him on his Israel stance for example), but in fairness to the guy, he has tried to call out a lot of the BS of the Irish far right on social media this week and has gotten a lot of pushback for it. One suspects many people who read the Gript website are at the more extreme end of the right wing scale and he's quite conscious of this.

For sure, but it's quite possible he is struggling a bit with the more extreme elements of his Irish readership and followers - some of them seem much further to the right than even the BNP and Britain First in the UK.

This has probably been shared before but it's quite something (won't let me post pic?)

Didn't realise he has such a 'colourful' past. Seems he is a political chameleon and has changed his party allegiance multiple times : was a member of both FF and FG in the past and was helping out the Greens at one point. The article claims he had the reputation of being something of a maverick and troublemaker in those parties : it does beg the question as to what he really believes in. Is even the current right wing populist stuff just another caper to promote himself and to make himself relevant and popular?

JOHN MCGUIRK: Far from sounding like a refreshing breath of air for the political system, Fianna Fáil's Cynthia Ni Mhurchu is managing to sound like the worst kind of cynical political hack on the campaign trail, to her detriment.

Good article, I wonder will they feature her in their 'Meet the Candidates' series?

She is also reportedly a barrister!?

Edit: - The tiktok content video about X and Musk has since been taken down today. I thought I shared a link to it in another post on site. Found a screen edited version on twitter, once you post something online very hard to get down again. Under @Andy66202501

Calm down. It's a racist god bothering blog with questionable financial backing.

There is lads on Youtube with infinitely more subscribers knocking out basic DIY videos.

I know you are scared, but we will be grand.

👍️

Or maybe some of them ARE British farright ?

Its a smart move from that religious lunatic - she knows a lot of Gript readers are Twitter addicts. Irish flags in their bios etc.

Have you read their annual report?

According to their own website, they have only 22 employees (I have no idea whether this represents value for money of if they do a good job).
