I watched a little on Vincent Browne last night on TV3.
How does such a biased programme not fall foul of the Broadcasting Authority?
There is no attempt at balance or fairness. It is just a vehicle for expounding ultra-leftwing views.
People from the loony-left get an unfettered platform wax lyrical about how utterly unjust the country is and how “the most vulnerable in society”© are being viciously exploited by our right-wing establishment. It’s like the mirror image of America’s Fox News on the loony right.
Irish Independent and Sinn Fein
The behaviour of Mary Loo and the Shinners is disgraceful and shows that their heritage of coming from an organisation that did not respect the democratic will of the majority has not gone away. That said the coverage of their role in the water charges protests and the intimidation of TD’s etc by the Indo is hysterical and totally lacking in balance. Reading their front page articles and so-called analysis one would think this was Germany in the 1930’s.
Journalists are entitled to their views but editors have an obligation to balance those views within the totality of their newspapers.
This “agenda journalism” is not unusual with INM.
