Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5...Kennedy's Irish Times is no stranger to dumping journalists who don't follow the script. Eddie Holt, Harry Browne to name just two. If she is so keen to prove the fairness of her newspaper why does she not immediately employ Joe MacAnthony one of the best and most courageous journalists Ireland has ever had and so shamfeully ignored by the craven Irish media.
Allowing for the fact that we are now well into the Internet Age, and the many opportunities which organisations like Indymedia can easily provide these days for expressing individual viewpoints on virtually all subjects, from all angles, should we be concerning ourselves very much at this stage about the "kennedys" and the "murdocks" (etc, etc.) of this world? - other than to keep a close watch on them perhaps regarding the odd really important issue such as the Lisbon Treaty for example -- as they and their once great importance slowly fades into history.
It seems to me that, as the results of the Lisbon Treaty referendum earlier this year show, they are well on their way out as far as being a major source of influence in elections goes? - and albeit that they do still need to be very carefully watched, and exposed, as when their verbal trickery appears in public in really destructive ways: as it almost certainly will from time to time while they slowly sink down into their various cesspits of arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, greed, and so on.
And "good riddance to the bastards" I'd say? -- if that's what actually becomes of them eventually.
Evolution rules -- okay?
I.T are going rapidly downhill cos of speculation and investment . They are posting huge losses
and sixty staff are to be laid off. One presumes in order to pay Ms Carey's salary...,
In the meantime we can only hope that she gets to write that wonderful pro-lisbon Opinion Piece
that she so desires to write and that her every whim is catered to by Ms Kennedy, whom like
all PD's seems really, really good at destroying things of great value to many people.
Ms Kennedy currently heads up the Irish press Council and was appointed to it by Ex-Minister
Mc Dowell!
So why hasn't Ms Kennedy employed Journalists of integrity ?
they have all vanished or been relegated to the backpages by Ms Kennedy.
"Ms Kennedy currently heads up the Irish press Council and was appointed to it by Ex-Minister Mc Dowell!"
Small wonder the country is in the almighty mess it's now in?
The Irish Times has noticably toned down even the most informed kind of political and cultural analysis over the past few years, to the point where some journalists have compared it to a red-top, and probably rightly so. A few weeks ago, it had an essay on human rights written by the fictional character, 'Ross O'Carroll Kelly,' which I think said it all about the newspaper's direction and what it caters for. It has got rid of some of its more caustic and direct reviewers, myself being one but I am not alone, where once it would have stoutly defended them: reviewers were, in effect, to be promotional cogs in the cultural wheel and no criticism of writers (for instance) was to be tolerated. As with The Sunday Independent (and, significantly, they detest one another) The Irish Times retained an informed journalist such as Fintan O'Toole and created a weekend cultural and magazine section was was Dublinocentric in the extreme and youth-with-money orientated. It was now possible (so much for women's liberation!) to read articles about how a columnist was getting on with her boyfriend in a magazine of a newspaper which was once 'the paper of record.' Self-referencing was the norm. The Arts sections didn't bother to travel much farther West than Kildare. The newspaper, in effect, bowed to a conservative and intolerant political and cultural ethos, some components of which believed they had a right to impose their view of the world and no opposition would be brooked. The result, sadly, is a newspaper where standards have dropped: but dropped standards suit some areas of thought in modern Ireland; none of this happened by accident. The days of 'old school' investigative and critical journalism evaporated - under pressure?
