I wouldn't think so, if that were the case then perhaps there'd be an "Irish National Party" or "Emerald Dawn" on the rise here. It's more likely that it sees increased support for both the far-left and the far-right.

You seem confused- You use 2 ficticious hard right/fascist parties to claim that the right isn't gaining support,and then finish up by saying that the far right is increasing support.

Perhaps you should research what "Right-Wing" means,otherwise you may be at risk of coming across as a blistering idiot, which I am sure you are not,even though you might need to practice the spelling of "Liberal agenda" for an hour or two for a week. Try your best to keep between the lines;)

ROFL.

You were even "thanked" for that searing contribution.

Bless.

A milder substitution for the Word "blustering",I don't wish to be too offensive.;).

Perhaps he thinks it's the "least worst" news source in Ireland. Given your posting history, anything to the left of "Alive!" is "EVIL GODLESS LIBRUL AJINDA!!11!1" to you.

Ok well enjoy reading your left-wing "sanctimonious claptrap" all the way to the Gulag (: My posting history? Half the time I am in the wrestling or legal forums, did not know that there was something innately fascist about suplexing someone through a table or examining the state of the Irish legal system?

Every paper pushes some kind of agenda and the IT is no different. I say that as a proud reader and I'm well aware that it pushes a left-wing agenda. The thing is the agenda it pushes is far more palatable to my views than those of the other Irish papers.

And the journalism in it can be crap at times but it's still streets ahead of the Indo.

Thats very true, its the idea that the IT doesn't have an agenda is whats the problem, I get the feeling its going the way of the Guardian with more less 'real' journalism and more opinion pieces and more blatant taking a side consistently on an issue rather than having a point counter point style of editing, these two are the only news websites I will check consistently everyday so they provide the majority of my current affairs information but the biases are painfully obvious sometimes.

You seem to have a strange fixation with Freemasons for starters.

You'll probably see more opinion pieces in newspapers in the coming years as people are inclined to get their "breaking news" online but might be willing to pay a subscription/buy a paper to access good, well written opinion pieces or investigative journalism. The Irish Times is the best of the bunch in this country anyway.Although there has been some rubbish starting to creep in lately.

Not to be going tit-for-tat here but you have a huge anti-religious slant in most of your posts. If I got a penny for every time you referenced "Magdalene concentration camps" I would be a rich man indeed.

Well let's just say Freemasons can cause all sorts of problems betimes too, but that is another topic for another thread.
