Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8This article is just another example of journalistic laziness. Surf the web, find a site which fits your prejudice, then use it as the basis of an article. Am I to assume that the journalist does not see anything wrong with making a very serious allegation against the people who run this site, i.e. that they are "jihadists"? That is utterly irresponsible.
But then nothing better should be expected from the Indo, after all it was the paper of William Martin Murphy long before the bean baron got hold of it.
Some observations from 1998:
"Mainstream journalism is shot through with legions of tired, lazy hacks that can't report or write their way through a 500-word story. So all this talk of 'lower standards' for online and 'higher standards' for traditional journalism is a diversion."

If it is true it is a laugh as Ciaran was one of the writers of the infamous ' Lawlor killed in red-light district with teenage girl' story last October, cached at google

The Sindo regularly publishes grudge articles and Ciaran seems to have forgotten to declare his interest in this one. He was one of the hacks who authored the idea that Sinn Fein were behind the Dublin riot

Is the Sindo promoting their own anti-indymedia blog without admitting that one of their staff is the author? Interesting stuff.
Whats more interesting for me is the fact that none of the actual content of the Village magazine article on numerous cusack exclusives are challenged. Silence speaks louder than words. I can only assume that all the facts in the article are correct.
Some Village articles which touch on Jim Cusack's pieces:

It is not even a broadsheet, it is a tabloid masquerading as one. The only reason it is Ireland's biggest selling Sunday Broadsheet is because it is a tabloid. Its magazine section is worse; a litany of features about politician's daughters and c-list Irish celebs in London and who they are sleeping with.
The UK used to have a similar problem with lazy, reactinary tabloid masquerading as a broadsheet journalism; it was called The Daily Mail. It used to sell quite well.However, contrary to the pseudo Nietzchian elitist beliefs of the people who sell such papers, most people actually tire ofd being fed such rubbbish, and now The Daily Mail has it's own niche market. The Sindo will go this way too.
Nothing suprises any more concerning the Rubbish the passes for reporting at the Sindo - It has continued to degenerate into a West-Brit, Unionest, PD ragsheet. Their tiresome headlines every Sunday which they try and pass-off as factual reporting consist of PD sound-bytes usually containing hysterical allegations against republicans and Nationalist which they deem to be behind everthing from Bank Robberies to bird Flu. Change the record Tony!!!!
