Agreed this post about sums it all up in a nutshell!

We have no cutting edge Journalists left anymore. They are all afraid of going against any Narrative and being cancelled. 
McKenna is all over the place - But at least he speaks his mind.

That's not a thing. Complaining that RTE showed x when they hadn't is just lazy.

This f**king nonsense. Any stupid **** can "speak their mind". Doesn't mean they've anything to say.

It also means that they may have something to say and are not afraid of the consequences.
We badly need these sort of Journalists - whether we agree or not with them.

Ewan McKenna is one journalist we absolutely don't need.

MacKenna really, really, desires the status of being the 'only one that speaks his mind and isn't afraid to stand up to the man'. Obviously a healthy society needs people like that generally speaking, but Ewan MacKenna is not that person. He doesn't have the talent or temperament. He's just a crank with clear mental health issues. A pitiful figure really.

Even at the micro level. We all agree that the tv/streaming situation for Gaelic games is far from ideal. So if you have to make shit up to bolster that simple argument you are into flake territory.

Agree. Look regardless of anyone's political views or opinions, he went after Evanne ni chuilinn when she went into senate. Saying realy horrible stuff and when I pointed out her work in adoption (she's adopted) and did a doc on it. Her ivf journey (she wrote about it ) her writing a children book on gaa, and her work in keeping girls involved in sports he actually said she hadn't done any of that. So speaking your mind is grand but speaking bullshit and total untruth is an entirely different thing. As I say he could have had problems with her appointment in so many areas but he chose those that weren't based on facts or even reality.

Yeah -agreed! There has to be a filter sometimes. The problem with modern Journalism is the filter is just to high.
