In the aftermath of the setback for the broad left in the May 2007 elections there has been a substantial focus in both establishment and alternative media about the implications for Sinn Féin and, to a slightly lesser extent, the Labour party. Yet it is perhaps the Socialist Party that suffered the most....... ... read full story / add a comment

In today's issue of the Observer, Peter Beaumont in Baghdad reports that the US occupation army is enervated, all petered and in crisis: "Exhaustion and combat stress are besieging US troops in Iraq as they battle with a new type of warfare. Some even rely on Red Bull to get through the day. As desertions and absences increase, the military is struggling to cope with the crisis". ... read full story / add a comment

The Sunday Tribune has slowly but surely ceased to be a quality 'News' paper. Media baron Sir Tony may own just a minority share but he's the only one paying all the Sunday Tribune's salaries and bills. Which explains why it shamelessly, just a fortnight ago, poked a five-page dig at O'Reilly's corporate rival Denis O'Brien who is trying to take over Sir Anto's INM. The Sunday Tribune has deceptively swapped good news reporting for opinion and cheaply-found tabloid stories of human interest.... as expected O'Brien came away without even a bruise. A few months ago the Sunday Tribune published a document alleging serious wrongdoing at construction and insurance billionaire Sean Quinn's Quinn-Direct company.

Even the most casual of Irish news cyber-surfer will have caught yet another one of those photo-opportunities of First minister minister doctor right honourable Ian the big mon Paisley of little Ulster stroking the tail-fin of an Aer Lingus model plane this week. He was chuffed because his new government had just managed to strip Shannon airport of all its remaining christian traffic & good travellers & convince Aer Lingus to reschedule its Heathrow flights from Shannon to Belfast. Oh well that has brought ecumenical flavour and colaboration to the Sunday Homily and Sermon circuit of Ireland. ... read full story / add a comment |
