    just got around to reading the women's rugby article. holy crap its brutal, but came across her piece defending it.........independent.ie/opinion/comment/i-would-rather-be-hated-for-what-i-am-than-liked-for-what-i-pretend-to-be-3051385 (Cant post link)
    Another stellar piece.....whats the deal with all the innuendo? is she using that rag of a paper to inform us she gets a bit every so often?
    imagine if she was there covering Kennedy's assassination?........President Kennedy was shot in the head as he sat in the back seat of an open topped car as the motorcade drove through downtown Dallas......bet that's not the first bit of head the back seat of Kennedy's car has seen....hur hur hur................................aaaaand go boardsies

    Probably, but whoever keeps publishing her has more to answer for!

    Isn't John Waters still technically a journalist?

    I can't make head nor tail of the OP's post but to answer the title question. Quite possibly.

    No matter what the subject, Niamh Horan always brings it back to one thing - Niamh Horan. And I for one, don't buy a paper on a Sunday to read about Niamh Horan.

    But, as has been said. Her editors shoulder a lot of responsibility for exploiting Horan's stupidity for their own gain at the expense of her reputation.

    She had the potiontial to deliver good journalism and the platform to do it, but her credibility is shot at this stage and nobody takes her seriously anymore.
