Gript Media Editor John McGuirk on recent criticism from politicians and other journalists: We don't censor news just because politicians believe the public might think the wrong thing if they heard the facts. #gript

Excellent work by John. Point clearly made. Gript stand for reporting the facts to the people, the rest believe the people should swallow whatever narrative they're told to swallow.

John is new to me. John is a star 😁

So, don't let the public know the truth, as the journalists know what's best for us. The dystopian nightmare in Ireland continues. The journalists job is to report the news, not filter it based on their beliefs. Great job by John McGuirk.

Typical of Virgin media and Rte wanting to sweep the truth under the carpet.

Good to see the editor of @griptmedia on @TonightVMTV. The nationality of the alleged assailant is in the public interest, not least because he was, I gather, scheduled for deportation but ended up getting Irish citizenship. How did that happen? @john_mcguirk @marie_sherlock

The Irish govt wants to know everything about citizens, but want the public to know nothing about them and their various agendas

Well done for standing your ground. Their beating around the bush journalism is adding to tensions and everyone can see it but themselves.

John McGuirk, I want to extend my sincerest congratulations to you for your exemplary efforts in standing up to those media personnel who were willing to do whatever was necessary to keep the real story under wraps. Your words were truly commendable and deserve to be recognized.

Exactly, how dare anyone including politicians, journalists decide what version of the truth we can access. History will record this man as a hero.

Translation: How dare you bring up facts, when we are trying to address a very serious issue?
