Irish media influenced general election result

I don’t trust the Irish media, or their methods or motives. Their constant, positive comment on Fianna Fail leader, Micheal Martin, and negative comments on An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, I’m sure, were worth eight or 10 seats to Fianna Fail and cost Fine Gael eight or 10 seats, in the general election. Labour couldn’t benefit as much as they could have from transfers.

The lefty, liberal ethos in the media prevents it from balanced reporting and comment. Our lefties made a lot of noise about cronyism during the campaign, but will they practice it if they get into power. Will the media investigate that? I don’t think so!
