Irish Times & Independent Abortion Bias

vin33

In case there is any doubt.
Looking at today's online versions at 21.00 16/5/2018, I make it 11 pro choice (pro-abortion) and 3 pro-life (anti-abortion). And that's without the usual suspects, Fintan O'Toole and Una Mallally.
I've bolded the seemingly anti abortion.

we have in the Times:-

1) Harris criticises 8'th debate on Claire Byrne.
2) Ronan Keane - Repeal of 8'th does not mean unborn have no right to life.

Columnists:

3) Laura Kennedy - My friend might consider leaving home if the result is no.
4) Kathy Sheridan - Tone of the No side no more humble than 1983

Life and Style:
5) Why I'm travelling home from London to vote No to abortion

Most Read:
6) My circumstances were the same as Savita Halappanavar's
7) No campaign defends booklet resembling official publication

6 to 1, you could nearly accuse them of being balanced?

The Indo only has:

1) Pat Kenny claims his show was targeted by pro-life campaigners.
2) Bob Geldof calls on Irish men to vote yes
3) The journey I had to take after my 20 week scan was torturous
4) Shame on him for his Down syndrome remark.
4) Cross party calls for "No"..
5) McDonnell plays down role ... - No sure how to class this one
6) Varadkar accuses No campaign of targeting Boylan
7) Gene Kerrigan The fight to keep Irish Abortions in England

Just saying.....

Private entities so they can push whatever agenda they want.

Media is almost never neutral, they almost always have some bias.

Newspapers aren't obliged to present an unbiased view of the referendum afaik.

Gloomtastic!

Because the No side are a bunch of troglodytes who should be ignored by all decent newspaper readers!!

No, we're absolutely not having yet another thread on the 8th.
