"Can't answer a simple question, when you're literally regulating truth itself": In a slightly heated exchange, Ben Scallan 🇮🇪 questions Ireland's Media Minister Catherine Martin about the EU's Digital Services Act, which aims to censor alleged "misinformation" online. #gript

@Ben_Scallan When is the next election in Ireland?

I'm the journalist who asked the question - feel free to follow me for more content like this!

@Ben_Scallan Next question. If the public service broadcaster is putting out misinformation will they be censored.

@Ben_Scallan Crazy how only Gript will ask pertinent questions like this to power in Ireland. Irish politicians aren't used to it

Now that we actually have reporters that truly question these “politicians”, it is the best thing to happen in a long time. Watch them squirm their way around questions, it’s like they are paid thousands to stand and look pretty — and not actually contribute anything to society in the long run. We need a complete wash out, every single politician removed and replaced with good hearted, genuine people that are well regulated by the public. They are supposed to work for us, not the EU.

@Ben_Scallan When Ben Scallion asks a minister a question, you can see them squirming standing there. And they must have a spoofer sheet specifically for Ben to fob him off and the people of Ireland that he speaks for.

@Ben_Scallan You’re a hero, Ben

@Ben_Scallan The irony being her saying she has answered it is misinformation. A dangerous, nasty lady.

@Ben_Scallan She just refuses to answer the question probably because she doesn’t know the answer.

@Ben_Scallan She is obviously completely out of her depth..
