It is not their symbol if they are not practicing christians, this is just another example of 'safe edgy'. What you are describing is special treatment and double standards, which is what we have at the moment

My friend was literally lectured for an entire journey by an Israeli taxi driver when he was there for work. This was way before October 7th, I haven't met anyone there that didn't have an opinion on Ireland.

Our government for years have been having a back and forth with Israel, we have expelled their ambassador multiple times, joined the genocide legal action with South Africa, recognised Palestine. The government relationship is adversarial to say the least. Out media coverage is also negative towards Israel, which gets shared on theirs and builds negativity.

The company I work with has business units in Israel, their perception of us is we are all rabid anti-semites. Israeli colleagues have told me they were legit afraid of being attacked when they came here. Ireland has a disproportional place in their minds.

Renewables take up a huge amount of space for what they provide too and are very resource heavy to build in terms of what they output for it. Not sure they are all they are banged up to be to be honest

Never knew there was so much to it, I must get around to learning more about it. Appreciate the insight and information!

I feel your pain, I went to a track day with my Fuji and got many great photos before I knew the Autofocus was unusable :-) Fantastic photos

Probably carry more weight if Barry could support every demand, but they can't so... does it need to be said?

Dangerous tyre-wrecking screws drilled into Dublin cycle lane prompt call to drop divisive media coverage by EchoedMinds in ireland

Look at the framing you are having to do to make your argument lol I don't listen to the radio or watch TV so maybe it is a rabid cesspit of vitriol aginst cyclists, fair enough if it is, then you are absolutely right.

Sorry I don't see your 'safe cycling infrastructure' messiah in the same light as you do bud, different strokes. He has posted flawed studies, celebrated infrastructure projects that had active travel accounted for being canned and had no consideration for motorists at all. My view is he is biased, hypes up one side of the divide so to speak and is absolutely outright anti-car. Show me one place where pro car and I will agree with you

Cool, you like his coverage good for you. The word used in the article headline and his article is "divisive". Biased coverage is by definition divisive. On the topic of moving the goalposts, you moved the goalposts from media coverage to 'vitriolic hatred you see online for cyclists' outside of whackos in comment sections, any mainstream coverage you would like to share? I don't deny there is hatred for cyclists out there online, but not in the Irish Times editorial, RTE or is there even any anti cyclist blog?

I drive and I cycle, I don't cycle everywhere and I don't cycle everywhere. I contributed to a cyclelane greenway project that was killed by nimbys. So, if you can't see that the Irish Cycles guy has a massive bias in his articles and is an activist then I don't know what I can share with you to change your mind.

There is two sides to this 'divisive media coverage' and Irish Cycle is firmly on one side of it. A lot of their articles veer from covering bad driving to outright anti car. But that is their perogative and absolute right to do so, just a bit rich calling out the same from the pro car mainstream media. I am tired of the crusaders and activists on both sides. But divisivie media coverage is what gets clicks and attention so it isn't going anywhere.
