    The Irish Times is a poor and predjudiced newspaper staffed by narrow minded intellectual midgets.

    It panders to a perceived liberal agenda whilst cynically attacking and undermining
    traditional values.

    This pathetic newspaper has long outlived its usefullness and is now only taken seriously by a mindless and unquestioning supine readership.

    "I do not, I never have and I never will recognise the colonial State of British-occupied Ireland ... I want to state publicly and unequivocally that I am in sympathy with the IRA - indeed sympathy is too weak a word ... I cannot join them in the fight for freedom of my country, but the very least I can do is speak up for them when they are being slandered and vilified by unscrupulously vicious propaganda. The oppressors of Irish freedom call the IRA terrorists and murderers, but I call them by their proper titles; I call them freedom fighters, I call them heroes; and I venerate their dead as martyrs for Ireland."

    So much for objectivity in journalism - as defined by you .

    Here's Fr. Sean again. Demonstrating " finger on the pulse " analysis.

    Just because the Irish Times- published in the 21st century - doesn't dedicate the MAJORITY of it's pages to has-beens and never-weres doesn't make it a rag. It seems
    to have abandones its sectarian origins. What a pity that the republicanism of Tone , Emmet , Davis, Parnell has been abandoned to narrow minded whingers.
    maybe you could point us to the republicanism involved in affording that british officer Bury a column / pr offensive detailing on a regular basis Tommy Atkins heroic struggle against the fuzzy wuzzies up the khyber ?
    The IT is unionist owned , its owners once referred to its northern protestant editor Douglas Gageby as a white n*gger due to his percieved sympathy for the civil rights campaign in the north . This disgusting remark was made by its owner during a converstaion wwith British intelligence agents in Dublin when he offered to put the paper at the disposal of the British foreign office/ MI5 at the outset of the last northern conflict .

    the best that can be said for the IT is that it isnt as bad as the Indo . However as a roll of cut price recycled bogroll from Aldi isnt as bad as the indo either thats hardly a ringing endorsement . I really only find Newton emerson and suzanne breen worth reading in it .

    the irish media in general is just pathetic beyond belief .
