No. The first names that spring to mind are Vincent Browne and Eamonn McCann.

Which journalists have radical left backgrounds? Charlie Bird and Marian Finucane supposedly do. They were apparently recruited to RTE by Eoghan Harris (I think). Anne Harris is a 'socialist', according to her ex-husband. Then there's Gerry Gregg. Who else?
