Anne Harris new Sindo editor

[Tawdy]

Fantastic news. At least one newspaper will still be prepared to stick it to the Shinners. Considering Labour now effectively own the Irish media this is a welcome appointment!

Is that you Mrs Harris?

It has been announced that Anne Harris will take over from her late husband Aengus Fanning as Sunday Independent editor. Congratulated by Frank Fitzgibbon of the Sunday Times in a tweet...

If true we can expect the same old sindo sh!te to continue.

I'm familiar with the Irish habit of assuming political talent is passed on genetically but had not been so familiar with the idea that one could absorb editorial skills by way of marriage. One learns something new every day. Mind you it is the Irish Independent so it hardly was ever going to be anything of a radical departure.

Have you ever thought that behind every great man is an even greater woman?

Or as Hilary Clinton said to Bill when they took their first drive down Pennsylvania avenue in the Presidential Limo on the way to the White House - just after Bill pointed to a roadsweeper on the pavement while saying "See honey if you'd a married that guy you'd be married to a roadsweeper instead of being married to the President" : [Hillary's response] "No honey, if I'd married that guy, he'd be President".

Have you ever thought that behind every great man is an even greater woman?

Or alternatively "Behind every great man is a nagging wife."

Different sphincter. Same shyte!

Indeed.

Todays Sindo Magazine is going all misty eyed about the Celtic Tiger and the "surreal" time that it was.
Barry Egan waffling on about being in Marbella with "in crowd", flying here there and everywhere on private jets, drinking over priced booze, Van Morrison..............
Egan wasn't on a private jet the Friday evening he sat opposite me on the 17.05 train from Heuston to Cork in 2007, but there you go.

The magazine has the usual photos of the "glamourous set" including Lorraine Keane, Katy French (it never ceases to amaze me how they never tire of regurgitating this unfortunate girl), Jonny Ronan, Gerald Keane and the one who used to go out with Michael Flatley.............

Same sh1te, different sphincter.

Wouldn't it be interesting to do a map of all the family relationships of those working in the Sunday Independent?

I'd say that family tree has only one branch, and it's stuck in the mud.

Her fingerprints are all over the Sindo. Her magazine approach led to the Sindo's success against the rather agressive attack by UK newspapers. So kudos and congratulstions to her.

That said the Sindo is a rag, the media is changing as is Irish society and isnt she in her high 60's?

So is her appointment a stop gap measure? A measure that allows the Sindo to position itself for the future and the owners to hire a pest controller to dismantle the architecture of that nest of vipers that Ms 'Arris now edits.

I mean what happens to Ballsy?
