Irish Times bias

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday April 17, 2002 17:55author by Phuq Hedd - Free ThinkersReport this post to the editors

Frank McNally does not assault demonstrators

The Irish Times coverage of the protest against the human rights abuses of the Israeli state has been masterfully spun by both the headline writer and the "journalist" Frank McNally.

McNally's sneaky bias against the demonstrators is demonstrated in sentences such as:

"Gardaí closed a section of Fleet Street to traffic, but the demonstration passed off peacefully."

Really Frank? Was the demonstration also marked by an absence of the eating of Israeli babies? Perhaps you would feel that it is appropriate to mention that no Israeli human rights were trampled upon during the demonstration?

The title of the piece (which one hopes was not also chosen by McNally) reinforces the underlying insinuation that demonstrations are inherently non-peaceful:

"Protest at Israeli action passes off peacefully"

Please Mr.McNally!, this is biased reporting.

Considering many members of the anti Israel campaign are fascists and anarchists, it is quite appropriate to issolate them from the rest of the Irish public when they protest.

The Irish Times continuously prints anti Isreal letters in their Letters to Editor pages and its journalists with the exception of Kevin Myers continually give credibility to the PA who harbour terrorists and openly promote terrorism as a political tool even though they promised not too.

If you only speak and understand English and not any Arabic you might hold the opposite view.

Appeasement of terrorist Arabs if only jews are getting killed is OK but if 3000 Americans have been murdered then terror needs to be defeated.

Europeans are hypocrites!!

The anarchists that are calling for an end to State violence are quite obviously involved in violence themselves.

The anarchists that are quite clearly and openly involved in a peaceful demonstration to oppose the murder of Palestinians should be suspected of violence.

The anarchists that strive to achieve a world of justice and fairness deserve to be pilloried by someone like you that cheerleads the oppression of a people by a foreign State.

Good one Ialric. Your position couldn't be clearer or saner!

lalric I hate to burst your strange little bubble, but while i didnt see any visible facists (on less you count a couple of the nastier cops at the embassey)there were anarchists, which happens to be a system of politics not a form of combat. I did happen to meet a number of Israeli people who were both on the march and supporting it.
