Balanced election candidate interviewing on RTE...#Aras25

@caulmick I call that the @sinnfeinireland treatment. Voice tone changes, combative questions and throw in a bit of aggression.

Bit cringey Peter to me... Connolly’s attack surface is pretty large - hardly surprising that she's facing questions that she refuses to answer. Even the barrister thing - she chose to work in that field where she would be "obliged" to look to put people out of their homes.

There is a blatant bias in print and broadcast media I've no problem with rigorous interviews, but there is a combined effort to scupper her campaign because they treat the role as some sinecure for a yes man or woman, & are terrified of being called out from the Aras

I think it's more of a growing frustration Peter that she's not answering genuine and straight questions honestly. E.g. the "Palestinians" she met in Yarmouk turn out to be none less than the murderous Assadist "Free Palestine Movement". Another example;

The Connolly campaign has now changed into a 'movement'. Impossible to stop, everyone appears to be voting for her. The more they throw at her the more Presidential she gets.

Where is the creators channel i wanna see more?

Spot on.

Now she should do the candidates replying. The Catherine Connolly bit should be easy enough. She just has to say over and over "I think i answered that already" but make sure not to answer.

#CatherineConnelly ate my hamster 🐹

Rte bought and paid for

The idea is to wind down the clock by asking the same questions over and over, to make sure nothing interesting is said

The FFG smear campaign has begun. They are vile. A uni party of corruption and incompetence.

@PaulineMcLynn1 Comedians love politics. Politicians are either ridiculous OR overly serious . Both make great material really 😉! Heather’s neither, but a good comic can still pull it off. 🤣 thanks for the laugh medicine 🙏🏻

Excellent and true 😂

Islamo-far-left or islamo-far-left. Two cheeks of the open borders gender ideology cult. #spoilthevote

Here's another TV interviewer asking Connolly an awkward question about the morality of representing banks. Fortunately, Connolly is an expert at not answering direct questions:

Is Hamas a terrorist organisation?

brilliant 🤣

You repost without credit? Nice.

Ireland has no real choice. Both establishment. Spoiled votes will be president.

aaaah now that's not fair at all at all

************* SPOIL YOUR VOTE *************

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤣🤣🤣

I'm pro-Catherine in this election but can people lay off Heather with that Orange Order bullshit? The organizational baggage that matters in this election is Fine Gael, a chosen political career, not the Orange Order, an Irish tradition where she has family.

This is lies, and highly insulting to journalists

2 embarrassing candidates and shows just how low Ireland has fallen. Democracy is finished in Ireland & the country is now polarised just like USA. Blame the Politicians for the mess. #SpoilTheVote25

What’s a Woman Peter ?

Maybe they don’t like communists ..well Unless that communist is a migrant or black or both 💦 since Connolly is neither and just a Sinn Fein communist there you go , she can run fast too got away form Burke young fella quick enough
