Headline from The Irish Times: "The Ivan Yates affair is a symptom of a wider problem in the Irish media". Sub-heading:"When the news and PR sectors intersect to the degree that they do in Ireland, it becomes fair to ask whose interests the news serves"
Who does the news serve?
#Irishmedia needs much more #transparency about the interests of media owners, journalists, presenters, and interviewees.
Prof #EileenCulloty of #DublinCityUniversity challenges the double standards of Irish #oldmedia. They rightly […]

Typical #ivanyates , there was a very competent person leading the party while Holly Cairns was on a maternity leave she was entitled to. I guess he’d prefer if working women didn’t have babies?
A smug bankrupt bookie living off a fat state pension while Ireland takes on his debts.
Catherine Connolly campaign graphic: "Vote the bejaysus out of them"
@kzeta and my favourite #CatherineConnolly meme:
"Vote the bejaysus out of them".
It took the horrible advice of broadcaster #IvanYates that Connolly's opponents should "smear the bejaysus out of her", and turned it around, virally. Brilliant!
In the supreme Irony, Jim Gavin’s Sunday night statement was an example of smart media management (aside from our collective 😳 reaction to the actual issue/topic/cause). It was one and done within 10 hours of the debate debacle.
#IvanYates
Love when a “comms professional” is in the 💩, they think not releasing a statement is the best course of action.
For brand and reputation management, in Crisis Comms, no statement/no comment is a killer.
So he has killed off his own brand now that we are on hour 60 of silence. #IvanYates

Headline from the Irish Independent: :
#IvanYates media coached FF presidential candidate #JimGavin for #Aras25 while pretending to be a pundit. 😮 Yates didn't declare his interest, so has been fired from his podcast with #MattCooper.
Yates now adds "failed media coach" and "sacked podcaster" to his […]

Smeary Yates justifying his comments and apologises to Fine Gael. FINE GAEL

I remember that after the “migrants are eating our pets” lie.
Trump’s said there’s his truth, your truth and the other fella’s truth.
We have #IvanYates in Ireland saying the same. “Smear the Bejaysus out of her” he said about a Presidential candidate. Because the truth wouldn’t hurt her.
Catherine Connolly ate my hamster. #speirgorm #IvanYates
Jaysus, there’s a jax in Raheny with better lighting and acoustics. #IvanYates on #Primetime
Painful listening to #ivanyates on Matt Cooper podcast.
Always a danger on a day like yesterday but his full bullfrogging for Trump is even more over than top than normal.
