Elon Musk has now applied to Ireland his unique heroic combination of genius brain, intellectual and moral courage, and true common sense. If politicians have the intelligence to listen and learn, we might yet be saved.

This will only draw people to Gript as opposed to pushing them away. The reason why politicians opt to ignore those outlets pushing uncomfortable truths is so as to not to draw even further attention to those truths. So this is going to be an own-goal for Byrne.
I’m LOVING my new @griptmedia#GriptFace calendar! Every month shows a different politician’s reaction to being asked awkward questions by Gript journalists as opposed to the softball questions from the rest of the media. Buy one and give yourself a daily laugh!

Fantastic listening to @elonmusk on a @griptmedia space just now. I highly recommend everyone has a listen. It felt like a turning point, Gript is now the MSM to anyone with common sense in Ireland.🇮🇪 Subscribe today! Well done @john_mcguirk & @Ben_Scallan
Byrne heavily implies that Gript shouldn't be on the Press Council as we allegedly "stir up hatred." But his government wants to pass a "hate speech" bill which would make "stirring up hatred" a criminal offence. This clearly implies the law would be used against journalists.
Funny thing happened yesterday: Senator @malcolmbyrne was very annoyed in the Oireachtas that Gript Media is a member of the Press Council of Ireland and vigorously questioned how this could be given how terrible we are and so on and so forth. He then made ample use of his Oireachtas privilege to smear us, as you might expect.
The funny thing is that it's a very easy question to answer, Malcolm: The defamation act of 2009, brought into law by your own party, mandates it:
BEN SCALLAN: Judging by an Irish Senator’s controversial comments last week, it logically follows that his government’s “hate speech” bill will target problematic journalists:

With government politicians openly implying that Gript should have our press accreditation removed, now would be a particularly funny time to support us en masse by signing up for a subscription at https://t.co/CYiGuxGZoK
Bishop Kevin Doran expressed concern regarding the removal of the ban on “deliberate killing” from the ethical guidelines of the Irish Medical Council, and questioned whether the Council had decided if it was acceptable to take part in such an act.

Massive Irish Twitter news this evening as @elonmusk joined Gript media to articulate his stance on the Irish government's drive to implement the most draconian free speech laws in the West. Envious establishment media will be sneering tomorrow. Huge scoop for Gript.

To you, Fianna Fáil Senator Malcolm Byrne.
Your attempt to muzzle Gript media or indeed any media that doesn't align with your narrative is an affront to the very essence of democracy. Gript Media stands as a necessary counterbalance for those who feel betrayed by left leaning media, which often seems more like a government propaganda machine than an independent press or press council.
Your very own government has a track record of confusion, deception, misinformation, and attempting to manipulate citizens. Gript Media, spearheaded by individuals like @Ben_Scallan , @john_mcguirk and their team is a lifeline for those seeking answers to the critical questions conveniently sidestepped in orchestrated press conferences.
Defending Gript Media isn't just about preserving media diversity, it's about confronting the echo chamber you and your government are attempting to create . In a landscape of spineless yes-men and yes-women, Gript Media bravely challenges bad political decisions and exposes the so called left for their wrong doings just like their media proclaim to daily do anybody that questions reckless policies on housing, health care and immigration.
For all those reading this, remember, we're all in this together, whether you like it or not.
I defend Gript media not only because they are essential in a balanced media landscape but I share their views and for 25 years in media never felt threatened by the power of those who tried to silence me. To silence any media or individual within the media is a direct threat to the cornerstone of free speech, the free press and democracy.
"How was Gript Media permitted into the Press Council?"
Fianna Fáil Senator Malcolm Byrne, seemingly frustrated, asks the Press Council why @griptmedia was given press accreditation, adding that "we have to be very concerned about news channels" that "stir up hatred."
🇮🇪 Fine Gowl, Fianna Failure and the Green Perverts exposed globally by Elon Musk as wannabe tyrannical dictators terrorising citizens who don't buy into their wave after wave of lies and 🐂💩. And supported by Sinn Fein etc. #BinTheBill#IrelandisFull https://t.co/SOe13v5NgJ
