'Eco-anxiety' affects 78% of children under 12, a crisis that teachers say they are unable to cope with, new polling by Greenpeace has found. The solution? More ruthless exposure of children to alarmist material.

Now how can Michael McDowell condemn this site as "garbage" as he did so on Radio One on Saturday. The site is advertising his fundraising drive!
...do you know of any link where I might be able to hear/read McDowell referring to Indymedia as garbage.
See the link
The reference is around 45:40 into the program
Nice one for the link Graham.
Don't worry MG, Michael D was at hand in the studio with him to shut him up!
But I think it can only be a good thing if the site is stirring up provocation like this from the highest established quarters, for it shows that the site is having an impact and becoming widely known. Hopefully Michael & others will learn that this site is their's as much as it is anyone else's, and learn to be the media rather than to criticise it, as Graham put very well in an earlier comment, Link:-

(this is the link to Indymedia's current front page article)
... That right-wing PD storm trooper is really starting to get on everyone's nerves.
I work in a national newsroom and McDowell is regarded as one of the most ignorant and obnoxious interviewees a journalist could face.
His decision to smear indymedia is part of the PD pro-war campaign and must be seen as connected to Harney's slur on anti-war protestors, who have more integrity than that cow has in her entire ample body.
First prize is a night out with the beautiful Mary Harney.I've bought 10 already.
Well the PD's are as right wing as your gonna get in Ireland (at least in mainstream politics anyhow!) so youv'e got to expect constant crap from them. Interesting what you say about McDowell. I think his attempted smear on Indymedia will only back fire on him though. I would love if Indymedia approached him on the issue, of if people started e-mailing him various articles from the site and ask him to explain exactly how they mount to "Garbage".
I know a girl who works in Mary Harney's office, and apparently she does work her, fat, arse off, so I'll give her that! It wasn't long ago when the party was close to extinction. Let's hope it won't be too long before they are facing that again. Don't know what Liz O'Donnell is doin' with that party. Guess the alternative ain't too much better...
Heard her on the Vincent Browne Show last night. They were talking about the talks in the North and she was far more rabidly right-wing than Stephen King of the UUP.
However you disagree with people, calling them 'scum' or a 'cow' isn't doing your point of view any favours. And what has Mary Harney's weight got to do with her ideas?
Respect.
Mary Harney attempted to take my principled opposition to war and turn it into something to be ashamed of: anti-Americanism. This was done on purpose to blacken the good name of the thousands of Irish people who are working to avoid a massacre of human beings in Iraq.
Harney supports war because it makes profit for her friends and colleagues. She obviously couldn't give a flying fuck about the thousands who will die just so some rich people can make more money. She is a cow and I will continue to refer to her as one, regardless of what you think.
Who are you to claim you know Harney's motives. I'm for the war and I have nothing to gain. Is it only people on the left who are able to have a principled stance?
Yes you are right on that "me". I'm sure people, including myself, were just letting off steam, as that party's views are scary at times. As I say, I know from personal accounts that Harney works very hard so I'll giver her that much.
Ref. Liz O'Donnell - You are no doubt right on that too Mags. I have probably paid her opinions far too much respect in the past. After all, if she was any good, despite the poor alternatives, what is she doing with that party?
It is a gross insult to the bovine community to compare Mary Harney with a cow.
She's married to a protestant. Which probably accounts for her attitudes.
I was at a dinner party with heronce and she remarked that northern Catholics have to be watched.
YokesAreGreat
Fuk, if McDowell see's this posting he'll have so much grass to chew on, he'll even put Harney's grass chewing feats to shame! Sorry "Me"!
My cousin is married to a Protestant, and neither of them have views approaching those of Liz O Donnell or the PDs. Neither do other people I know who are from Protestant backgrounds.
People should be wary of falling into the Unionist trap of assigning political views to people based on their religion.
