Bernard Fox leaves provos

[Bogwarrior]

Bogwarrior,

Suzanne Breen is just the latest in a long line of so-called "experts" to be rolled out in the media down through the years to vent their "expert" spleen against the provos. Remember Vincent Mc Kenna of FAIT and Sean O Callaghan-Ruth Dudley Edwards mate (Wonder what ever happened to them as I don't hear them being asked to give their expert analysis these days?

The fact is that that if you want to attack the provos you'll always get as much airtime as you want on the mainstream media.

One of the best examples of this was last year in the run up to the General and local elections in the 6 counties when the Mc Cartney sisters were being interviewed on some news or current affairs programme on an almost nightly basis. After the elections, and they have fullfilled their usefulness, the media suddenly found that they were'nt interested in the story any more. They were dropped by the media almost as quickly as they were dropped by one of their main sponsors i.e. Alastair Mc Donnell (Who had funded their trip to America for St Patrick's Day).


Another good example was the brutal killing of two eastern europeans near Newry the day before an election in the 26 counties. "ALL THE HALLMARKS OF A PROVO EXECUTION" was the headline that screamed out from the Irish Daily Mirror on election day. It transpired that fellow countrymen were responsible but the Mirror thought that this was just too good an opportunity to miss and get a last minute intervention in the election to attempt to attempt to damage Sinn Fein.

If you are a republican of more than ten years of age I would suggest, you should be totally cognisant of this anti-republican manipulation by the media. After all its been there for hundreds of years!

As for Suzanne Breen, shes about as objective as a man who has consumed ten pints of stout.


As a Republican Bogwarrior you might want to

waneebess to be rolled out by the mainstream me

Im well aware of the anti republican agenda of many journalists, but why only single out Breen?
I personally believe it's because she highlighted many events that were carried out by Provos and were downright wrong, including the killing of Mc Cartney, the shooting of Kearney, who was then locked in a lift to prevent medical aid(he bled to death) the killing of Joe O Connor, and the many beatings and abductions of Anti GFA Republican .
When Provisionals threatened to disrupt a Prisoners fundraisers in Derry, she was the only journalist in the entire country to show up at the event.
I wouldn't call that anti Republican. Anti corruption maybe.
There are many many worse Journalists thats for sure.

Erm, I believe in this case she was "singled out" because she wrote the article in question.

Several journalists covered this story. But I've noticed recently when PSFers have no line to trot out, they go on auto pilot and attack the person carrying the message. More so, it it's Breen or Moloney.

Quit being an eejit. If the article was written by Vincent McKenna, Brendan O'Connor, Sean O'Callaghan, Ruth Dudly Edwards or someone else like that they'd be in for similar and I doubt you'd be giving out about them being singled out.

Breene doesn't give a ************************e about anything else other than writing fantacised stories - coming from the mouth of "un-named sources" to sell papers.

You keeping believing everything's fantasised.
Decommisioning never happened either. All a ruse. Cyril Ramaposa is a personal friend of Gerry Kelly. Wink, wink. ! They only entered Stormont to wreck it from inside. Nod, wink. Nobodys resigning from the Provos. Breens a securocrat. blabla.
Ha, and you call me an eejit.

Your response has just re-inforced my view that Suzanne Breen is about as objective as a man after ten pints of stout. Is Suzanne was really on a crusade against injustice then she seems to have a very singular focus indeed.

Not for Suzanne the trival matter of the hundreds of republicans and nationalists who have been killed by the state sponsered loyalsit death squads. Oh no, Suzanne has bigger fish to fry-There was a top provo in Belfast who she would have been deriding a couple of weeks ago but now she tells us he's no longer a provo and now he's a great guy......

Members of every combatant group in this conflict have done plenty of things that were "downright wrong" including other republican groups outside of Sinn Fein and the provos, one at least of which I take it you support.

So i'll put this hypothetical situation to you-If instead of being obsessed with Sinn Fein and the Provos, Suzanne's crusade was signualry focussed on the group to which you owe you're allegiance and almost every week she was printing the same mixture of half-truths and downright lies do you think she would be:

(a) A courageous and committed journalist whose independence is unquestionable

or

(b) Just the latest in a long line of anti-republican, stooge of the state, journalists (Or worse).

But "several journalists" weren't quoted in this thread, were they? Only Suzanne Breen was.

What are you sticking up for her for, anyway. She's hardly a friend of your organisation either.

[Seamus]

I dont think its a case of defending journalists as we havent any friends in journalistic circles only ex republicans who are employed by newspapers who may highlight our cause.

The crucial thing is that people like her and others show what the vast majority of anti gfa republicans suspect that the grassroots are getting tired of betrayal,constant appeasement of the dup and the degradation of the army and its only through journalist like her that its is shown.

The thing is for all the provos in here how was highlighting resignations in south derry anti republican?
People sometime mistakenly confuse criticising provisionals with criticising republicanism.

Lastly when the newspaper claim our organisations are riddled with informers etc how many have publicly questioned that in here?
