Journalists are not afraid to ask questions. We come from a variety of different media, vying for the best probing questions, competing with each other, to be first with new angles. Break stories. We don’t meet for coffee beforehand for chats. We are professionals, competitors.

This afternoon.
‘We don’t meet for coffee beforehand for chats.’
They’re all down the pub calling you a monumental misery pants.
Pause.
FIGHT!

La La Land. Fergal wants us to believe that?
Best probing questions? as in ‘What way would you like me to spin this?’
Competing with each other? As in one reporter asking the other what the story is? (RTE Newscaster interviewing Fergal Bowers regularly)
lol
maybe the problem is they believe their own propaganda
jasus
Bob Woodward there already convinced himself
time for an oul ring shaped meeting, lol
A lot of journalists, including Fergal, experience delusions of grandeur. Totally caught up thinking they’re the arbiters of truth. Most are merely reporting the news. Of course they are egged on by having a huge captive audience on RTE and Virgin Media & massive twitter following. Inane comments garner thousands of ‘likes’ and reweets. Massive egos and very little substance.
Says the man who has to write down everything NPHET tells him in case he can’t remember it and read it back from his notebook live on air. Very professional.
