Just another right wing hate rag. Fear sells.

You think the Independent is right-wing, you may wish to avoid The Washington Times if you ever find yourself in DC.

Great cartoon, Mick.
Ms Piggy

Thank you Mick for this. I see you were reading other threads today :)

Vile newspaper. Abhorrent mix of z-list celebrity tittle-tattle, sexism, opinionated waffle and irresponsible fear-mongering all poorly written between the full-page supermarket ads.

You know I love your work Mick and I wouldn’t usually be critical but that looks nothing like Fred Flintstone.
Familial Ties
The Sunday Independent is noteworthy for the numerous familial ties within the publication.
Anne Harris, is now editor of the Sunday Independent, her daughter Constance Harris writes for the newspaper as a fashion writer. Anne Harris is the former wife of Eoghan Harris who is an opinion columnist for the newspaper and she was the partner of the previous Sunday Independent editor, the late Aengus Fanning whose son Dion Fanning also writes for the newspaper as a sports writer covering soccer. Another of Fanning’s sons, Evan also writes for the newspaper while his nephew, Brendan Fanning is rugby correspondent.
Shane Ross is a former Business Editor of the Sunday Independent, he was succeeded by his son-in-law Nick Webb. Ironically, Ross was a frequent critic of nepotism, cronyism and under-performance in Irish companies, particularly the Smurfit family’s influence[42] within the Smurfit Group despite the family status as minority shareholders.
Despite being a publicly listed company, the parent company Independent News and Media employed as its CEO Gavin O’Reilly whose father was the largest shareholder and Chairman Tony O’Reilly. Gavin O’Reilly was ousted as CEO after INM’s share price collapsed and Denis O’Brien became the largest shareholder.

You will also see nepotism and cronyism at work in the IT and Indo . Dig deep , read the poo writing , check the journo’s surname and you can bet that Daddy is on some piss poor quack of a quango or knows sb in the business.

Given Broadsheets addiction to Hamas propaganda it’s a bit ironic to be calling the Indo Stormfront.
