Hi all, I've mentioned a number of times on these forums about the freedom and unbiased nature of our press here in Ireland, originally in relation to the iraq war and american presidential election. Certain members, despite me providing links etc like to take pot shots and cheap snipes (especially on threads which I haven't even posted) at the fact that I mentioned that our media reported these events in such a way i.e. Dexters "unbiased media" etc. Thought I'd post this, a study just released showing who has the real press freedoms: "Nation's openness sinking after Sept. 11, northern Europe tops the list The annual worldwide press freedom index from Reporters Without Borders shows the United States, which is supposedly spreading freedom and liberty throughout the world, is in a fast decline regarding the freedom of its own press." Sample of rankings.... 1. Ireland 44. America :laugh: http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=15331 http://www.rsf.org/IMG/pdf/CM_2005_Eu_Eng.pdf Please, the usual suspects, please please do the usual personal attack post and once again show us your mentality......... |

Does the Irish media still tell Irish citizens that birth control is immoral? |

The influence of the god squad is much more prevailant in american media. Pat Robertson anybody?? Its been a long long time since the churches views dictated the medias actions. The divide between church and media is continuing to widen even more due to the increasing diversity of the religious landscape here due to immigration etc. The vaticans views carry a lot less collateral over here due to the revelations of the last 10-15 years. |
