| Message | What about freedom from political or corporate influence? That's what I'm talking about. OOC: In Ireland, there are two major media moguls, three if you include the State broadcasters, who are just propaganda for Fianna Fail. They are Denis O'Brien and Sir Anthony O'Reilly. Denis O'Brien was once denied the right to set up a mobile phone network or something like that, and now his branch of the media are very anti-Fianna Fail/PDs. Sir Anthony O'Reilly hates Denis O'Brien, and so his Independent Newspapers are mad for Fianna Fail. It's ridiculous. |
