  • Appalling Tommy Robinson podcast

    You’re only as good as your worst podcast and the podcast on Tommy Robinson was a disgrace. No discussion of the subject’s alleged Islamophobia. No questions around his alleged drug taking. No pushback on some of his outlandish and inaccurate statistics. No mention of his time in prison. That’s just the basic stuff. It’s not journalism, it’s platforming a dangerous individual. Forget about the Irish times

    I live in California and really appreciate getting a world perspective from Ireland and the UK. The news is balanced and offers news and culture from outside the U.S. bubble. Thank you.

  • Obnoxious contributor Kneecap episode

    From an Irish Times subscriber, what an elitist and biased podcast contributor Hugh Linehan is on the recent Kneecap episode.

    Stick to writing, his disdain for people doesn’t come across quite as strong on the newspaper page.
