Old News: why are the mainstream media so obsessed with stories from decades ago?

It's clear Drew Harris is revisiting cold cases that implicate the gardai as untrustworthy and corrupt. Why? To make way for the new international cop force. That's why JoJo Dullard and Patrick Nugent are back in the news.

The obsession with looking back also serves another purpose - it means journalists have an excuse to ignore the current news of the day. For example Patrick E Walsh's exclusive findings that reveal excess deaths are up 77% in the 15-24 year-old category for 2022 in comparison to 2020, the year of the supposed pandemic. This should be front page news. Why are Ireland's young dying suddenly and unexpectedly? Does anyone care?

Ignorance is bliss. And it works on both sides of the divide.

Once you know the game, you're not so easily fooled.

Knowledge really is power.
