The UVF and the savage '70s: Shankill Butchers, Gusty Spence, and the Dublin Monaghan Bombings and

The UVF began the 1970s with a campaign to cleans Catholics and Catholic owned businesses from Protestant dominated areas. With the IRA’s campaign at its height, the UVF moved from targeting nationalist and moderate political figures to simple sectarian murder – many of its victims just teenagers. By the mid-70s a notorious group emerged from the UVF which brought the savagery of the troubles to a new level – the Shankill Butchers. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by author and historian Aaron Edwards.

Incels exposed: “Men aren’t entitled to sex, but women aren’t owed safety”

The word ‘Incel’ is short for ‘involuntarily celibate’. They’re primarily men, who believe they’re doomed to be alone, blaming society, women, and sometimes themselves for their isolation. The explosion of the ‘Incel’ community online has led to multiple forums, chats and groups based on their beliefs, which have led to disastrous consequences. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph’s Kurtis Reid and Olivia Peden, who went undercover on one of these forums. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Worth a listen but cannot seem to shake inherent bias

2023/06/22

East Belfast Exile

Problematic podcast with the main presenters exhibiting significant bias. Any journalist that chooses to not use factual information and instead introduce opinion as fact is never going to be able to report objectively on Northern Ireland matters. Inherent to the reporting Allison Morris offers up is a tolerance for the actions of the Provisonal IRA. Some might say admiration but I’ll not go that far. When a reporter uses the terms like “occupying Crown forces” or “the north” it sets a tone, it reveals a bias and reduces credibility of the subsequent information shared……I’ve switched off early because of it. Please just use facts. Objectivity is a critical prerequisite for reporters. While every effort is made to ensure the mask does not slip and to appear objective, sadly the Bel Tel’s crime reporter is not there. Like many in Northern Ireland, claiming objectivity is a lot easier than actually demonstrating the behavior.
