Should RTÉ be independent? Or is free speech a thing of the past? Free State Weekend Election Special
Episode 158
How does RTÉ influence politics in Ireland? During an election campaign dominated by photoshoot which are just government press releases on camera, is power being questioned as it should? On Free State today, Dion and Joe ask what does press freedom mean in Ireland? They argue about Sinn Féin’s independent review into RTE’s coverage of Gaza. Joe also looks at the history of censorship by the establishment in Ireland, while Dion learns that the Dungiven WhatsApp group have been keeping an eye on him.
Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
