It all started last week. I was one of the first to spot this incredible interview the day after it appeared, and posted it on my blog:

It is perhaps the most interesting interview to have emerged in the last five years, as Neil Prendeville didn’t mince his words and challenged the Taoiseach on his disastrous social policies; So much so that his advisors were nervously circling around the studio, waving at Neil to stop the interview:

The video quickly went viral and a quarter of a million people saw it on RedFM’s Facebook page. But despite its relevance, or popularity, none of the Dublin media wanted anything to do with it.

They were, instead, very interested in Neil Prendeville’s telephone interview with Gerry Adams, publishing it almost immediately:

The headline was very misleading, and would have suited the Taoiseach’s performance perfectly. But it did not matter. It did not matter there was only audio to publish in their article. It did not matter that Adams conducted himself pretty well compared to Kenny’s car crash interview. It did not matter there were less than 12,000 views on that excerpt. No it did not matter as the objective is to down the opposition. At all costs.

Many people challenged the omission of Kenny’s interview in the article comments section:

Asking the journalist who wrote it yielded no result either:
