Prof Helena Sheehan
on what's wrong with the disinformation and #fakenews narratives from liberal media-especially RTÉ. Especially relevant in the wake of #RTEGate. In my opinion, the framing of #fakenews and #disinformation by #RTE and their like has only fed the far-right and general distrust of the national broadcaster among working class people. https://monthlyreview.org/2023/06/01/the-disinformation-wars-an-epistemological-political-and-socio-historical-interrogation/

Helena Sheehan turns her incisive eye on the so-called anti-disinformation industry, and wondering whether the mainstream media is using a newfound interest in fact-checking, fake news…

As I'd expect from Dave Fanning. Meanwhile, a good piece from Fintan O'Toole on the whole thing. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/07/12/fintan-otoole-in-the-end-ryan-tubridy-resorted-to-the-father-ted-defence/ #RTEGate #Tubridy
Fintan O’Toole: In the end, Ryan Tubridy resorted to the Father Ted defence

The broadcaster had three tasks in the most important live show of his career

This is a real public finance scandal, being buried by the #RTEGate corporate governance story.

Why aren’t PAC dragging transport people in over this?

If you stop and appreciate for a moment that PAC is grilling Ryan Tubridy you realise how wild Ireland is. #RTE #Tubs #Tubridy #RTEgate

I’ve zero interest in #RTEgate tbh.

My only real thoughts on it are for all the non “talent” workers there who have had to deal with years of cuts and who have been forced to work in awful conditions while their colleagues get treated like royalty.

That’s the real scandal.

Now he's issued a strongly worded statement surely we can be sure everything is sorted?

Apparently the fact that Richard Collins wife died tragically 12 years ago is somehow explanatory or exculpatory of current financial incompetence.

Does Ryan Tubridy or his agent exude some sort of musky magic scent that makes people lose all sense and hand him money, given that he apparently may have gotten a 100k 'loyalty bonus' on top of everything?
