I see yet another Government minister has threatened the media because of perceived negative coverage.
Environment Minister Phil Hogan has threatened to ‘put manners’ on the media for publishing pictures of himself and his now former press secretary in Doha on Budget day.
I admit I’m at a loss here. What was the problem with the photograph, why is his press secretary now his former press secretary, why is Hogan so annoyed and why is the journalist Daniel Mc Connell expressing regret for what happened to the Minister’s press secretary?
Anyone?
Same way RTE apologised for covering the story of the Cowengate portraits in the National Gallery.
We must show due deference to our political betters.
Depress me, tell me how much we are paying this doofus
