More and more people are realising that whether covid or climate, the biggest purveyors of #disinformation and #FakeNews in Ireland are the mainstream media.

This is fake news and a classic example of #disinformation.
The cost of heat pumps has not been cut, and the reporter has supplied no evidence showing a price cut by suppliers or installers of heat pumps.
The VAT rate has been cut, nothing more.

But did that really happen?
Was the manager reported, fined, sacked etc, which should be the case?
The report doesn't say...
Misinformation is all around us.
Claims and counterclaims are not evidence.
How are we to know what is true and what isn't?

Peter, shouldn't consumers know who orchestrated and paid 30 global and Irish media outlets to simultaneously publish an identical, anonymous "Editorial" that made global Freedom of Press advocates look the other way?

It's not reflective of today's society for our constitution to say that a woman’s place is in the home.
Diverse families deserve equal recognition in our constitution.
A yes-yes vote in both referendums will help create a more equal & inclusive society in Ireland #VoteYesYes
