Labour leader pat Rabbitte showed his opportunism when he called for a look at work visas for EU nationals. He raised the spectre of 40 million poles chasing “Irish Jobs”. It was a thoroughly disappointing turn by Labour but hardly surprising. read full story / add a comment

To see the ideological bias of the Irish media, the treatment of the trade unions by our tribe of opinion writers is probably as good a place as any to start. If one was so foolish as to believe that the national media's commentators presented a reasonably accurate range of the opinions held by the population then you would probably come to the conclusion that trade unions were some sort of masonic conspiracy, made up of "pampered dinosaurs" who regularly "hold the country to ransom" and never cease to threaten our poor down-trodden consumers with their refusal to "embrace change". read full story / add a comment

A small band of fringe nationalists decided to stop the Love Ulster parade. There is no question but that crowd of loyalists are sectarian bigots. During a protest against the release of republican prisoners as part of the Good Friday agreement, their leader, Willie Frazer, was asked about loyalist murder gang prisoners. “They should never have been locked up in the first place,” he replied. read full story / add a comment

As mainstream media and unrepresentative governments narrow the scope and range of social discourse, the public network has exploded with millions of ‘voices’ that continue the public discourse in a social space conveniently created by the forces that fear free expression most. The blogosphere is without competition as the primary body of free speech in today’s digital age. It is not unexpected that the content and character of independent speech is in contrast and opposition to the mainstream discourse of minority interests. It would seem that attempts to limit and tailor the social debate have resulted in unexpected consequences. read full story / add a comment

This is just a brilliant analysis on how Sistani is portrayed in western media. As somebody who has been swallowing the western media propaganda on the distinction between Sistani the quietist and the Iranian revolutionary style ayatollahs, this essays blows the supposed difference out of the water. It does make you wonder is the media (outside of a few honourable exceptions) deliberately simplistic or truly ignorant read full story / add a comment

Veteran broadcaster Dunphy blasts misuse of Dáil privilege over Frank Connolly affair , speaks passionately in favour of the Rossport Five in this Daily Ireland interview and slams the profession that he is involved in: The Media! I know he is never consistent but some of the quotes here are classics, angry and on the money. “We live in a corrupt society, and the corrupt people are not going to go to the barricades to save Frank Connolly." “It has not changed for the better, no. Journalism now in Ireland is much weaker than it was when I began, which is now 27 years ago. It does not have the crusading zeal that it had. It’s much more interested in celebrity, style and stories about people’s personal lives." see http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_scope=Da...opp=1 read full story / add a comment |
