DrewKaree:
I think your links provide the best comment:

"The index should in no way be taken as an indication of the quality of the press in the countries concerned."

Oh, and in case you missed it, your "silver bullet" you're offering us says nothing about bias.  In case you missed it again, I'll quote from your own link:

"The index measures the state of press freedom in the world."

Yeah, I'm sure the freedom they measured by asking reporters what they thought about how free they were....I'm sure if they're more "free" to report, it makes it easier to be "free" of bias too.  Right?  That's what you're equating this to? 

Hey, while you're at it, can you post us the survey where they prove that your cable television system is the best because only in Ireland can you get channel 57 too? 

I'll continue to wait for your unassailable proof of non-biased reporting in your country.  Telling us how free your reporters feel isn't even in the same neighborhood as unbiased reporting.  Well, unless they're so free in their reporting that they TOLD you they were unbiased.

Oh...pssst....guys, I think he was talking about ME! :o   ::)

Anyone else care to try to explain to Dexter the difference between "free" and "bias", and how one doesn't negate the other?
Dexter:
YAY! You took your time but didn't let the side down. Thanks for proving my point again Drew  ;D

Get your unbiased reporting from a country that's two main powers are killing each other to prove which one is more Christian than the other.

By the way, you can all stop killing each other now, because Jesus likes me the most.

Well I've never had much time for religion and many wars are indeed fought in the name of religion. But I have to say if you're talking about Northern Ireland then that conflict has very little to do with religion. Catholic and Protestant are just labels used to describe the two communities. The conflict is mainly about politics and historical grievances.

I am labeled a Catholic.  I was under the impression that being labeled a Catholic had everything to do with my religion.

Do you have a link to an unbiased website that says being Catholic or being Protestant has very little to do with religion?
