This morning.
At a media seminar on Brexit organised by the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA), chaired by Conor Brady.
Editors Sebastian Hamilton (Irish Daily Mail), Fionnan Sheahan (Irish Independent), Ian Kehoe (Sunday Business Post) David Nally (head of TV current affairs at RTE) and Paul O’Neill (The Irish Times) gathered to discuss covering Brexit.
Meanwhile…
Hugh O’Connell tweetz:
“We do have an issue of gender balance up here,” notes Conor Brady as he introduces media editors panel at @iiea Brexit seminar…
And…
“We need a far greater ability to try & understand motivations of key players in order to correctly assess what is going on” @SebFHamilton pic.twitter.com/HQpbxQ5Xbc

Ian Kehoe @sundaybusiness addresses bias in #Brexit reporting @iiea media seminar – says duty is to give readers plurality of views.

IT’s Paul O’Neill pointed out that #Brexit is a divorce but so far too much concentration on one side and not enough on EU. @iiea.

Age, race, sexual ID, and ability balance too. It’s not all about white middle class women in Lulukemon.

All trying to look knowledgeable.
Is that not a depressing photo? This collection of onanists are going to lecture us, ‘the great unwashed’ about matters of State? Oh, goody.
I looked at IIEA in curiousity. A think-tank. It has names like Cowen, Legatus Bruton, Cox, Honohan, O’Brien (Dan) – in the roles of IIAE directors or researchers. Sushi fupping Yo of regressive thinkers.
