Many concerned Irish People are afraid that mainstream media in Ireland have blacklisted Journalist Gemma O'Doherty and Financial Expert Johnathon Sugarman from Political and Current Affairs programmes. In the past decade they have not been invited to appear as panelists, commentators or correspondants on any of RTE, TV3 or mainstream radio programmes. We think that it is a public duty of these Broadcsters to be honest and transparent with their viewers and listeners and need to know if they are not blacklisted or not? If they are not blacklisted we require a public statement on this matter as to why they have not been asked to appear on any of your news, current affairs or political programmes?
Why is this important?
Both Gemma O'Doherty (award winning journalist) https://gemmaodoherty.com/ and respected financial whistleblower Johnathon Sugarman http://whistleblowerirl.blogspot.com/ have un blemished track records in uncovering political and financial corruption for the public good in Ireland. Notably issues that are totally relevent, newsworthy, affect peoples lives and need to be known by the Irish public. For instance Gemma O'Doherty was the first to uncover the penalty points scandal and has yet to be interviewed or allowed to comment on this issue! Johnathon Sugarman who is a financial whistleblower with indepth knowledge about the financial and banking corruption that is rife including the recent Drumm judgement. Why have they not been asked to comment? Is this a form of media censorship? Many People believe that for any other reason than balance alone they should be given a voice on mainstream media otherwise this is a form of Censorship in Ireland.
