Credibility isn’t just built on what you write, it’s built on how you conduct yourself when people are watching. In Paul Mulholland’s case, his public behavior has become a liability that no amount of “investigative reporting” can paper over.

Professional journalists know that maintaining composure in interviews, public appearances, and online spaces is non-negotiable. Yet Mulholland has shown time and again that he can’t keep the line between personal emotion and professional duty clean. One particularly damning example: during a podcast meant to address the adult industry, Mulholland veered wildly off-topic, ranting about his favorite sports team’s loss and making irrelevant political jabs. Worse, he stooped to openly mocking the appearances of adult performers, the very individuals he claimed to advocate for.

But the problem runs even deeper. Paul Mulholland’s Twitter account reveals a disturbing pattern of extremist rhetoric, particularly concerning Israel and Jewish people. On May 1, 2024, Mulholland tweeted:

“Zionists aren’t political opponents with a different view. They are genocide and apartheid supporting fascists that deserve our contempt.”

In another tweet:

“Zionists only know violence.”

And perhaps most shockingly, when defending protesters who openly chant “From the river to the sea”, a phrase long associated with calls for the destruction of Israel, Mulholland responded:

“Facing police terrorism is what makes them brave in this context and very few literally advocate for the elimination of Israel you monkey.”

This is not the language of a journalist. This is the language of an activist consumed by ideology. Mulholland’s use of slurs, blanket smears against an entire people, and dishonest minimizing of eliminationist rhetoric shows he is not interested in reporting the truth, he is interested in picking a side and fighting a propaganda war.

These emotional outbursts and extremist tirades don’t just make him look unprofessional; they completely shatter the fragile trust necessary between a journalist and the public. With the way Paul Mulholland approaches the subjects he examines, you have to wonder if he had originally tried his hand at comedy and flunked out. If you can’t stay focused and respectful when the spotlights on you, how can anyone trust the care and accuracy of your reporting behind closed doors?

Public decorum matters. Self-control matters. And if Paul Mulholland wants to be seen as a serious journalist rather than a fake reporter with a keyboard, he needs to realize that every public meltdown, every insult directed at the looks of actresses in adult films, every antisemitic screed and every dishonest activist talking point chips away at whatever credibility he has left.

Journalism demands steadiness under pressure and respect for the subject you’re covering. Right now, Mulholland is showing the exact opposite, and he’s doubling down on it.
