Bertie brought down by media bias

IRELAND has lost the genuine, astute and honourable leadership of a fine Taoiseach in his prime, not to the evidence and discernment of the Mahon Tribunal, not to democratic elections, but to the prejudice of the media.

With the support of members of the opposition, who were unable in any other way to compete, the media has again won the day.

Those print, radio and TV journalists who are unable to report news without giving us their judgment have succeeded, once again, in manipulating political outcomes.
