It seems that the
Irish Independent is in journalism meltdown as it reacts to Mary Lou Mc Donald
assertion as to how bias they are against Jerry Adams and Sinn Fein. This is a
bias so evident that that any relevant news regarding the economy or the
ineptness of Enda Kenny is sorely amiss in the last several weeks, and one that
I predicted then that will never abate. What is it that makes this newspaper in
particular reduce itself to gutter journalism better suited to The Globe or The
Enguirer or The Daily Mail? It is fear.
No, not any
physical fear like being shot with a water pistol, but the fear that Sinn Fein are
getting too close to ruling this land in some form, and being a majority party in a coalition is more
than the stuff of fiction anymore but a very real possibility. What is this
fear based on?
It is based on
the fact that the newspaper itself
has as one of its biggest shareholder yet to face a court for
corruption: Dennis O Brien. His corruption has cost the irish taxpayer allready
over €40 million. It is not just about Dennis either for this paper also hedged
its bets on those that has sold this country down the river. It is the
insitution of corruption itself that they have to fear most and the lastest
revelations about investigations that never happened execept by title about off
shore accounts, and the heirarchy of needs by politicians that put their ill
gotten money in these floating banks..
Where was the
strong optics of ternacious journalism then, where was it when the idiot Lowry
took the brown enevelope off fat fingered O Brien? Where was it when Derek
Desmond pocketed more millions without that jaundiced eye to know exactly how
he did it? Nowhere. When the clown that tried to lie and bluff his way into the
presidency of this country, Sean Galllagher, was finally exposed about yet another
brown envelope that held just one €5000 donation for a bacon and cabbage dinner
with no desert, this newspaper hired him. This is all just part of the fear of
now being finally exposed themselves and all that they have tried to hide
beneath the folds of those ample lies and the historical ones too.
David Quinn also writes
for them. A right wing religious nut who once claimed that the Magdalen women
were employees of those hellish laundries, and that the Industrial
reformatories run by the religious were fine places, and that their victims
merely had an axe to grind. It was he that responded to every alarm bell by the
religious that sounded the truth against their abuse of children; then beavered
away without conscience or truth itself to stand in his way in order to defend
them.
The Irish
Independent can only write now with suggestion without fact, innuedo without
reason, and panic itself between the lines, in doing what it can to dissect
every nuance and utterance from Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein and make it seem like
a threat of violence, or of rape and its defense.
It stated today
that for reasons of corporate political advantage that Sinn Fein will attempt
to lead Ireland into fiscal and moral anarchy. The reality is it is Sinn Fein
who wants to find out who did that already to this country for the Independent
let go merely a Freudian slip of what they fear most: truth and accountability
that ends in justice.
