RTÉ Radio One clip, December 14, 2022 in which the mother of 18-year-old Diego Gilsenan describes her torment at the actions and words of The Irish Light newspaper editor, Gemma O'Doherty who put an image of her son, who died by suicide, on the front cover under the headline Died Suddenly, without permission. This is how counter-intelligence works. A real editor wouldn't put 42 random photos of dead people on the cover without double checking their backstories. The aim is to make the 'anti-vax' movement look heartless and cruel and prone to mistakes. Instead of apologising for the error, O'Doherty doubled down with more slander and abuse while saying in court she's all about love and compassion. In fact, it is harassment and defamation of character. The headlines look terrible and give an excuse for anti-hate speech laws. Those who support O'Doherty buy into the excuse she's being 'persecuted by the State' when in fact, she's begging for trouble. O'Doherty uses the guise of investigative journalism as a shield to assassinate characters with impunity. Notice she's never punished for her actions despite the histrionics.
