I'm fairly sure it's all off the back of a meme unless I'm unknowingly about to be presented with some of the greatest cinematic deviations since Netflix turned everyone black

Not sure if your "shocking" comment is sarcasm or not, but I'd imagine--notably following Gript's publishing of false information about the Dublin school knife attacker in the context of the biggest criminal social disturbance Dublin has seen in a couple of decades--that it was piss easy to convince any judge to say, "Yeah, fuck 'em, go have a look at their material if you can, plenty of reason to suspect they were in collusion with or helped stoke the criminal elements who were present at Newtown."

Should channels exist for judges to grant gardai such access? Maybe not. Is the opening of those existing channels in this particular case "shocking"? No, not really.

Gript have played martyr victim over Newtown since day 1. Not at all surprising then that McGuirk has been one of the most vocal defenders of Bibi's "poor us" Israel over the last 18 months:

While I disagree with his stance on Israel, his depiction of Irish politicians is spot on.

Aye, fish in a barrel though. Similar to what's happened in the US: folk took MAGA's largely accurate fish-in-a-barrel criticisms of the establishment DNC as evidence that MAGA were themselves better. McGuirk will surely end up in politics himself one day, he's definitely got more of a natural inclination to that game than he does to journalism.

Cause he's a total spin doctor?

Total spin doctor, smarmy prick, thoroughly disingenuous, frequently a gombeen... take your pick  :laugh:

I see Stephen King is back on twitter. He didn't last long off it!

They removed the black face episode from Mad Men on Netflix, complete nonsense.
#6701 February 23, 2025, 04:17:34 PM
It's been back in since October

There was only a brief removal of it in select territories. Was still in the lineup on Prime & Netflix here.

Is "blackface" altogether that racist? I've never really understood the commotion.
#6704 February 23, 2025, 06:17:54 PM
Broke: blackface
Woke: corpse paint/whiteface
