The article discusses the contrasting levels of scrutiny that divisive figures, such as Conor McGregor, face compared to more established voices. It provides context regarding a late April Fool's Day spoof by RTÉ about a new initiative called Clarity, aimed at combating misinformation and fake news. The juxtaposition highlights the media landscape's approach to fact-checking and accountability, suggesting that while outspoken, controversial figures are often closely monitored, those in established positions might escape similar analysis, indicating a potential bias in the media's focus.
The idea of Clarity seems timely as society grapples with misinformation, especially from popular and divisive figures like Conor McGregor. Their words hold weight, and scrutiny is warranted.
Establishment voices tend to fly under the radar, often evading the same examination that individuals with controversial opinions face, raising questions about media bias.
